It really was a super performance from the Gers with hat-tricks from Lizzie Arnot and Kirsty Howat. Megan Bell, Daina Bourma and Bala Devi were also on the scoresheet at Rangers Training Centre.
Thomson named five changes from the last outing in Forfar with Sam Kerr, Rachel McLauchlan, Kirsty Howat, Carly Girasoli and Megan Bell coming into the team with Brogan Hay, Emma Brownlie, Clare Gemmell and Daina Bourma on the bench.
Demi Vance was out of the squad after picking up a knee injury while on international duty with Northern Ireland.
Rangers controlled the game from the outset with the first big chance coming on the 13th minute as Kirsty Howat’s shot was blocked by Khym Ramsay in the Motherwell goal.
The breakthrough did come just two minutes later after great build-up play from Rangers. Megan Bell and Zoe Ness worked well to play the ball through to Howat who fired the ball beyond Ramsay for her first goal for the club.
In her return from injury, Megan Bell was causing problems for Motherwell as great play down the left saw her beat the visiting defender before drilling a cross into the box which was turned in by Lizzie Arnot.
Just after the half-hour mark the Gers had a third as Zoe Ness found the run of Megan Bell who rounded the keeper before slotting home.
Khym Ramsay denied Rangers a fourth on the 37th minute as Kirsten Reilly was through on goal but it was saved by the visiting number one.
The goal did come just two minutes later as Rangers were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position on the edge of the box. Four Gers players stood around the ball as they worked one from the training ground as Lizzie Arnot stepped up to curl the ball into the back of the net.
Just before the break, the Light Blues were awarded a penalty as Sam Kerr was taken down in the box. Lizzie Arnot stepped up to the spot and sent the keeper the wrong way to round of her first-half hat-trick.
Into the second-half Rangers continued the pressure and added a sixth just five minutes after the break. Megan Bell picked out Lizzie Arnot who laid the ball off to Kirsty Howat inside the box and the striker fired a powerful shot in at the near post.
Megan Bell came close to a second as Khym Ramsay blocked her effort, before Sam Kerr saw a shot from the edge of the box touched wide by the Motherwell keeper.
Kirsty Howat got her hat-trick just before the hour mark as Rachel McLauchlan found her run and the striker got a powerful effort in at the post.
Rangers were awarded their second penalty on the 68th minute as substitute Bala Devi was taken down in the box. Daina Bourma stepped up to the spot and scored Gers’ eighth goal of the afternoon.
Bourma saw another shot saved by the feet of Ramsay before the Motherwell keeper blocked an effort from Brogan Hay.
The ninth goal did come on the 85th minute as fed the ball through to Bala Devi who slotted low beyond the keeper for her first competitive Rangers goal.
In the dying stages of the game Jenna Fife pulled out an impressive save as a Motherwell shot took a heavy deflection off of Brianna Westrup but the Rangers number one got a hand to the ball to touch it wide.
