Rangers benefited from lack of VAR last time we were at Ibrox, says Well boss

Graham Alexander says Motherwell should have won the last time they played Rangers at Ibrox, with the Glasgow giants benefiting from Scottish football's lack of VAR.Alexander says Fashion Sakala's 12th-minute strike in the September 19 clash shouldn't have stood, and that his side would have won with Kaiyne Woolery's goal after 66 minutes.Motherwell travel to Govan on Sunday to take on the Premiership champions, and Alexander hopes they can go one better and take all three points.He said: "If we had VAR we would have won the game, that's the reality.

They scored a blatantly offside goal, which everybody saw, and we scored a perfectly legitimate goal ourselves to get the draw."Listen, we were under a lot of pressure in that game as well, so we understood that there was a tough challenge in front of us for 90 minutes."But one thing I always say to my players is that they never give up, they're always going strong to the end."They haven't got that in their make-up to give up, that's what kept us in the game and got us that point."It could have been different on a different day and a lot of games are - there are moments in games that go your way or they don't, and they determine how the rest of the match goes."However we go about the game, we're going to have to run, tackle, pass, press, so we always do the same things in every game, but we can't afford to lose any focus, which I don't believe we will."When asked if pressure on Rangers to chase leaders Celtic might be something Motherwell can benefit from at Ibrox, Alexander pointed out that his side have issues of their own, having not won a league game since the turn of the year.He said: "There's pressure on all teams, there's pressure on us.
