Motherwell have completed the signing of former Rangers striker Alan Gow on free transfer. The former Rangers and Falkirk striker, who was released by Plymouth Argyle in the summer, has joined on an initial six-month contract.
Motherwell boss Craig Brown is delighted to have captured the forward and is pleased to have beaten a number of clubs to his signature.

“People think that if you’re going for a championship, you will stroll to it but in Scotland you don’t do that.
“We know that we will have to work hard to earn our championship.”
Walter Smith has suggested he would be prepared to remain Rangers manager next season – even if that means continuing without a contract. Asked whether it was possible a new...
Kenny Miller has blamed strike partner Kris Boyd’s dry spell in front of goal on Rangers’ performances as a whole. Boyd has failed to score since converting a penalty against Hibernian back in February.
Boyd is chasing his 100th goal for Rangers but has failed to hit the same heights as in the first half of the season, where he scored 19 league goals before the new year.
