"We are all 100 per cent behind him".

"The players will reflect on a decent second-half performance, but we simply didn't deal with what Motherwell threw at us in the first", Murty added.

"But I think he has been as successful as Louis for us".

From the outset, Motherwell showed the greater intensity, getting at their guests from the first minute and giving them no time to settle.

"It was a bit of a odd feeling but I was delighted to get a goal", he added. And it got even worse for Murty's men when Stephen Robinson's team doubled their advantage shortly afterwards.

Curtis Main gave Well the lead from the spot after Russell Martin brought down Chris Cadden, before Allan Campbell made it 2-0 with a neat finish.

While Motherwell were delighted with their start, it was a shambolic showing from a side staring some unwanted history in the face.

Appointed Rangers manager until the end of the season in late December, former development team boss Murty built up a head of steam before crashing to back-to-back defeats to Celtic and Kilmarnock.

With Celtic not as convincing as last season, a run of six wins from seven games put Murty's men within six points of the champions ahead of the clash at Ibrox earlier this month.

Gers defender Alves groaned: "We are not happy because we play every game to win so this was disappointing".

"We were talking about that at half time and we had to show some character and some pride in the jersey".

"I told the guys that wasn't acceptable and I think it's a measure of the group that they agreed with that - they didn't sulk, they actually stood up in the second half".

"We knew they were going to come at us in the second period, but we weren't switched on quickly enough and we paid for it".

"After the first half, to score twice and draw was positive".

"Credit to Motherwell, they did what they are good at and were organised", Murphy added. We adjusted and changed the behaviour in the second half.

"If you don't get the results you won't have stability because they'll be changing the manager".

But it was Motherwell old boy Murphy who completed the comeback, showing objective and vision to cut inside and find space before conjuring up enough composure to ping the equaliser past Trevor Carson and offer his manager some hope of retaining his position come the summer.
