Rangers striker Kim Min-su (20) missed a penalty kick, delaying his debut goal opportunity.

On the 5th (Korea time), Rangers defeated Motherwell 1-0 in an away match at IVE Rocks Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, during Round 6 of the '2026–2027 Scottish Premiership'. With this win, Rangers extended their league winning streak to three games and moved up to third place. The point gap between them and top-ranked Celtic FC (15 points), which started the season with five consecutive wins, is now five points.

The UK outlet 'The Scotsman' highlighted Kim Min-su's performance on that day. The media covered his missed penalty kick and several lost scoring opportunities, expressing regret over his failure to score in his Scottish debut.

Kim Min-su, who joined Rangers from Girona last month, started in three consecutive matches. A crucial chance for his debut goal came in the 30th minute of the first half while Rangers led 1-0. Teammate Jayden Gasama drew a foul by an opposing defender inside the penalty box, earning a penalty kick.

In the sixth minute of the first half, captain Lawrence Shankland was substituted due to injury, leaving no clear designated penalty taker. At that moment, Kim Min-su and Gasama argued over who would take the kick, until midfielder Nico Raskin intervened and assigned Kim as the kicker.

However, Kim's right-footed shot veered far wide to the left of the goal. 'The Scotsman' reported that "Raskin must have immediately regretted his decision."

Kim attempted decisive shots in stoppage time of the first half and again in the 24th minute of the second half to make amends, but both were saved by opposing goalkeeper Alex Paulsen.

Ultimately failing to contribute an attacking point, Kim was substituted for Kevin Celsi in the 24th minute of the second half. The media rated him a low score of 5.

Rangers secured victory on this day thanks to Ryan Nade's opening goal in the 12th minute of the first half, which proved to be the decisive goal. Nade intercepted a backpass from the opposing goalkeeper and slid the ball into an empty net. The media stated, "Despite missing several perfect additional scoring chances late in the match, Rangers held off Motherwell's attacks until the end to claim victory."
