Motherwell kept their Scottish Premiership status with a second win over Rangers in four days.

Leading 3-1 from the first leg of the play-off final, the side stretched their lead through a deflected shot from Marvin Johnson.

Another deflected shot from a Lionel Ainsworth's strike doubled the lead and John Sutton added a late penalty.

A brawl on the final whistle resulted in red cards for Bilel Mohsni and home duo Lee Erwin and Fraser Kerr.
