- Rangers have scored four or more goals in their last three league matches
- It is the first time the club have achieved this since December 2020
- If the Gers score four or more against Motherwell it will end decades-long record
Rangers welcome Motherwell to Ibrox on the back of high-scoring victories in their last three matches.
Danny Rohl’s men have scored 14 goals in their victories against Aberdeen, Dundee United and Falkirk.
This means that the Gers have scored in nine consecutive league matches and are one game away from matching their longest run of the season which ended in a 0-0 draw against Hibs in February.
Their attacking streak of late has also seen the Ibrox club end a six-year wait to score four or more goals in three league games.
However, the hurdle that awaits Rohl’s Rangers squad is one that has not been broken in over five decades.
Rangers have not scored four or more goals in four league matches in over 50 years
Rangers last achieved the feat of scoring four or more goals in the same number of matches on New Years Day 1968.
That was 58 years ago.
Rangers were two months into the reign of David White and had recorded a 10-2 victory over Raith Rovers, 4-1 wins over Kilmarnock and Aberdeen before a 5-2 win against Partick Thistle.
John Greig and Sir Alex Ferguson were amongst the scorers in that period.
Rangers have only accomplished this run five times in their history and the fact that no team have done so in nearly 60 years highlights its rarity.
Therefore, the incentive cannot be any bigger for Rohl’s men to increase the momentum building at Ibrox lately and break a 58-year record.
Recent history in all competitions shows what has looked impossible can be done
When you look at Rangers’ record across all competitions, the last time that the Gers achieved this was in January 2016, ten years ago.
It was during the 2015/16 season when the Gers were in the Scottish Championship.
Under Mark Warburton, Rangers won three league matches with 4-2, 6-0 and 4-1 results against Hibernian, Dumbarton and Livingston as well as a 5-1 win over Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Cup.
One of those 19 goals was scored by departing Rangers captain James Tavernier.

However, that was in the second tier of Scottish football and is a completely different kettle of fish to the situation that faces Rangers in the present.
The long and short of it is that the Gers have the opportunity to become the sixth Rangers team in history to achieve a rare feat not accomplished in 58 years.
And if the last three results are any indication, there is no reason why they can’t.
