Charlie Adam is a surprise addition to the Rangers squad for Motherwell's visit having previously been ruled out for the season through injury.

Fellow midfielders Lee McCulloch and DaMarcus Beasley are likewise close to fitness but miss out against Well along with injured goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

Ross McCormack, Stephen Hughes and Simon Lappin are likely to return to Motherwell's starting line-up Ibrox.  However, captain Paul Quinn misses the rest of the season with a broken jaw.

Rangers are undefeated against Motherwell this season, winning two and drawing one. Both teams are in need of the points, so a tight game is expected. Rangers must be careful not to incur too many bookings or injuries, as they have 2 tough games coming up in the next seven days.

On Saturday they face Dundee United at home (a team also chasing the Eufa spot), then 4 days later face Zenit St Petersburg in the Uefa Cup final in Manchester.

Motherwell have only won 2 (one of those against Celtic) of their last 7 games and drawn 1. Scoring has been proving a problem with only four goals scored and 11 conceded.

Rangers have not had an easy time of late. Back to back defeats to Celtic, a disappointing performance against Hibernian and long drawn out games against St Johnstone and Fiorentina (both games going to penalties) are surely taking their toll on the Ibrox side. However, they're on a high: two cup finals coming up, and a strong possibility of winning the league.

I predict a Rangers win: 2-0

Dundee United travel to Pittodrie tomorrow for the last 'New Firm' derby of the season, knowing that a win is vital to keep up their challenge for European football next season. With The Terrors one point behind third placed Motherwell every game is vital now for Craig Leveins side. Aberdeen meanwhile are in with an outside chance of European football next season but must rely on other teams to get results for them.

Dundee United have the edge over Aberdeen this season, playing four in all competitions, winning three and losing one, inflicting two particularly heavy defeats along the way:

League Cup Aberdeen      1-4 Dundee United
SPL        Dundee United 3-0 Aberdeen 
SPL        Aberdeen      2-0 Dundee United
SPL        Dundee United 1-0 Aberdeen

With defenders Lee Mair and Zander Diamond missing through injury and suspension along with other absentees Darren Mackie, Richie Byrne and Jamie Smith, on-loan defender Alan Maybury’s injury adds another challenge to Calderwood’s plans for tomorrow.

But while third spot in the SPL is still a possibility, Calderwood’s focus is firmly on next season following the expected departure of six players from the Pittodrie side. Having signed Oldham’s former Kilmarnock midfielder Gary McDonald on a pre-contract, he is hoping to have more new recruits secured before the end of the campaign. Dutch youngster Dyon Camero has impressed in his short trail. The 19-year-old FC Zutphen forward will go back to Holland on Sunday, but could return.  Aberdeen defender Alan Maybury’s suspected fractured rib could rule him out for the rest of the season but it will not affect his chances of securing a permanent move to Pittodrie. The on-loan Leicester City player'sloan deal runs out at the end of the campaign, as does his contract at Leicester, but Dons manager Jimmy Calderwood is hoping to make the Republic of Ireland international an integral part of his squad for next season.

Prediction: Aberdeen are unbeaten in their last seven home games, and have not drawn in their last five, whilst United have not win away in three and drawn their last three games.  A tight home win for Aberdeen.
