Dorrans found the net twice to give Rangers an opening-day victory away to Motherwell Ian Rutherford/PAGraham Dorrans scored twice on his competitive Rangers debut as Pedro Caixinha’s side opened their Ladbrokes Premiership campaign yesterday with victory over Motherwell, though the game at Fir Park was not without its controversial moments. The winning goal came from a 58th-minute penalty converted by Dorrans, which Motherwell’s captain Carl McHugh claimed “was never a penalty in a million years”. Bobby Madden, the referee, might also have granted Motherwell a penalty when the ball struck Lee Hodson, while Rangers twice struck the woodwork through Josh Windass. The day belonged to Dorrans and his manager. Dorrans, signed for £1.3 million from Norwich City, said: “This was something I’ve always dreamed of since I was a kid and I was excited before the game.
