Trevor Carson has again been called into Northern Ireland’s squad, as they prepare for their final Nations League fixture.
A friendly with Republic of Ireland lies in wait on Thursday, 15 November, before the deciding fixture with Austria three days later.
Northern Ireland have no points from their opening three games, meaning they cannot be promoted from their group.
But a win over Austria could save them from relegation and also give them an outside chance of being one of the teams in the play-offs for EURO 2020 next year.
Motherwell travel to Ibrox on Saturday on the back of two consecutive victories in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
Stephen Robinson’s side face the Glasgow outfit just days after their Europa League trip to take on Spartak Moscow.
Here, we look at the fixture in numbers.
The total number of goals shared between the sides in the last meeting between the two earlier this season.
Goals from Kyle Lafferty and Ovie Ejaria saw Steven Gerrard’s side come back from behind to lead the game 3-2 as the game entered stoppage time.
Danny Johnson and Carl McHugh had both struck on a dramatic afternoon at Fir Park, before captain Peter Hartley popped up with a last-minute leveller to round off what was one of the games of the season.
On the topic of goals, the Fir Park side take on a team who have conceded just 17 goals this season in all competitions before their Europa League tie on Thursday night.
Gerrard’s men have only shipped that tally despite playing 25 games already in the 2018/19 campaign.
The Steelmen can head to the south side of Glasgow with confidence though, knowing they are the team who have put the most goals past Rangers in a single game this term, ahead of sides like Villarreal, Celtic and table-toppers Hearts.

Our lottery scheme to help invest money in youth development and our academy has changed.
Our new Well Lottery allows you the chance to win up to £25,000, while also continuing to back the future players of the club.
Still priced at £1 per entry, our new providers Unity will also offer up smaller prizes of £1,000 and £25.
To join the new Well Lottery, you can now choose one of the following options:
Once you have signed up, you will receive a letter welcoming you to the lottery which will tell you your lottery numbers. You will then be entered into the draw for as long as you wish to play.
We have teamed up with Unity to run the Well Lottery. For as little as £1 per week, you’ll have the chance to win up to £25,000. At least 50p of every £1 played goes straight to youth development but most importantly, there are no ongoing costs to the club.
New lottery numbers: Every player will be allocated a six-digit lottery number for every entry they wish to play. If you match your number with the winning number drawn on a Saturday in the correct sequence, you can win up to £25,000.
Higher prize fund: Through Unity, we can now offer a higher weekly jackpot of £25,000, with smaller prizes of £1,000, £25 and five entries into the next draw on offer.
More payment options: You can join the lottery by direct debit, credit card or cheque.
Proceeds: Every £1 ticket gains Motherwell FC at least 50p towards the club’s youth development and academy programme.
No change to the ticket price: It’s still £1 to play.
Every £1 is split three ways. At least 50p of every £1 comes straight to Motherwell FC, which is put towards the club’s youth Development and academy programme. The other 50p covers the cost of the administration of the lottery, and goes towards the fantastic prize fund.
Every player of the new Well Lottery will be allocated a six-digit lottery number for every entry they wish to play. This idea is to match your number with the winning number that is drawn on a Saturday in the correct sequence. Every entry in the Unity lottery has an equal one in 63 chance of winning a prize.
For example:
325764 – random winning number
326574 – your lottery number
This is a three-number match, winning five entries into the next draw.
Players are notified automatically, and prizes sent out by post, so you do not need to claim your prize. If you would like to check the winning number each week, these can be found on Unity’s website and here on the official Motherwell FC website.
Unity is a platform on which charities run their own fundraising lottery. It is run by an external lottery manager, Sterling Lotteries, who administer hundreds of charity lotteries for clients across the country.

The second part of a big week saw Dundee head to Fir Park.
This is the Story of the Match.
Neil McLaughlin was named in the starting team and grabbed his first goal of the campaign as Stirling Albion ran out 3-0 winners at home against Berwick Rangers.
The youngster opened the scoring after 16 minutes, tucking home Danny Jardine’s pass at the back post.
Former ‘Well youth Dylan Mackin was also on target for the Binos, with the win creating some distance between them at the bottom two clubs.
Peter Morrison made his sixth appearance for Albion Rovers in their 2-1 defeat away to league leaders Peterhead.
The young ‘Well stopper had another busy afternoon at a cold, windy Balmoor and made a number of stops in difficult conditions. But he couldn’t step his side ending up on the losing side, despite Barry Eley’s second-half hit.
In the Championship, Jake Hastie was a 72nd minute sub as Alloa lost at home to Dunfermline. The winger was introduced with the Wasps trying to get back into the match following Jackson Longridge’s 69th minute goal, but the Pars held on for the three points.
Ross MacLean was an unused sub as Morton thrashed Partick Thistle 5-1, where Shea Gordon continues to miss out with an injury picked up against Celtic earlier in the campaign.
