First real chance of the second half for Motherwell as Tawanda Maswanhise advances in the inside right channel, but the forward's low effort is held by goalkeeper Ivor Pandur.

The home fans make themselves heard for the first time this half as Jesse Randall blasts fellow sub Lachlan Rose's knockdown just over.

Do we sense a United revival, with Falkirk just that early goal to the good?

Slight momentum shift here at Tannadice.

James Penrice could not convert this chance - hitting the post instead.

Will Rangers live to rue that miss? They are already ruing a first-half penalty miss.

Play is stopped at Tannadice as Jesse Randall goes down inside the Falkirk penalty area. There is a swarm of tangerine around Dan MacFarlane again asking for a penalty.

After a short pause, the referee signals play on.

A flurry of chances as Stuart Armstrong lashes on straight at the goalkeeper before Killie go up the other end and Erik Ring sees his shot deflected over.

The corner comes in and Cathal McCarthy's header is acrobatically pawed over the bar by home goalkeeper Marius Muller.

Deniss Melniks and Aodhan Doherty replace Liam Henderson and Ethan Ross as Falkirk look to refresh things a little.

Zac Sapsford thinks he is through on goal after beating Liam Henderson to the ball in the middle of the pitch.

United's Australian striker takes a touch to lift the ball over the head of the big defender, who is stopping down, and as Sapsford breaks away he is halted by Dan MacFarlane's whistle.

Henderson is down with a visible cut on his head and requires treatment. United continue their protest towards the referee.

Decent chance for Aberdeen as Chris Cadden goes down in the box. There's yet another appeal for a penalty, but again play goes on.

In fact, Killie are trying to break away, but they've been halted by Mats Knoester, dragging his man to the deck. That'll be a yellow card.

Dons boss Stephen Robinson responds by bringing Findlay Marshall on for Lewis Smith. There's a Scottish under-21 player on the pitch!

Rangers are eager for a second goal. Djeidi Gassama takes Olwethu Makhanya's pass, turns and shoots off target.

That has been the way of much of this game for Rangers, good in the build-up, poor in the finish.

It's the away fans creating all the atmosphere inside an otherwise fairly subdued Tannadice.

Falkirk are in control of this one, although a single goal lead is a precarious advantage.

United don't hang about in the second half: Zidane Iqbal and Lachlan Rose replace Panutche Camara and Daniel Bennie.

Rangers almost two up.

Kim Min-su's shot is saved and Findlay Curtis' rebound is touched on to the post by James Penrice.

Rangers 1-0 Motherwell

Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin takes a sore one to the head as he blocks Joe Hodge's piledriver.

He is able to carry on, however.

The Rangers dugout sans manager Derek McInnes looks concerned.

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson looks more relaxed.
