STUART McCALL today insisted only having 1,500 fans at Fir Park for the second leg of the SPFL Premiership play-off final won't stop Rangers clinching promotion.

McCall is disappointed that his former club 'Well have given the Gers so few briefs for their hotly-anticipated meeting on Sunday.

He believes a half-empty stand will present a poor image of our national game - at a match set to be watched by a bumper television audience across the United Kingdom.

But the interim manager is still confident it won't prevent his side from getting the result they need to complete "The Journey" and clinch a place in the top flight.

He said: "I was led to believe the other week we were going to get the full stand. When I heard what we got the other day I was disappointed with that.

"This week our game will be the last game in British domestic football. Everyone is going to be watching. That's what makes it harsh and disappointing.

"I don't know the ins and outs and why Motherwell have come to that decision. But for Scottish football the situation behind that one goal will be a bit sad for our game.

"If I were their manager then I'd think the least amount of Rangers supporters in the ground then the better, that's from a selfish point of view.

"But in terms of the game its, it's not as though we've not sold out at home. We have sold every ticket we can."

"The spectacle will be diminished. I think everyone would agree with that."

McCall added: "But at Easter Road on Saturday - although the Hibs fans were right up for it - by the time it got to the end of the game all we could hear were the Rangers fans.

"We maybe only had 1,500 fans there and I don't think Fir Park will be any different. They will make themselves heard as they have done all season."

Meanwhile, McCall has revealed having five games between the second leg of the semi-final and the first leg of the final has helped to recharge his players batteries.

The Nine-In-A-Row great admitted his weary charges were exhausted at the end of the double header with Hibs at the weekend and didn't play to their best.

But he is hopeful they will perform better against Motherwell in front of a sell-out crowd at Ibrox tomorrow evening.

He said: "They had one day off on Sunday. We weren't great against Hibs, but we did what we had to do.

"It was a defensive shape because the lads were quite low. The rest days they have had has brought the spring back into their step.They are energised and the break has helped enormously."
