    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    The hosts, emboldened by Dolly Menga's goal, are testing Rangers with crosses into the box from either flank. A combination of Allan McGregor and Rangers headers are keeping Livingston at bay... just.

    Two minutes plus added time remaining of a pulsating first half.

    Livingston are giving up a lot of the park, allowing Rangers possession. But they've not created much and that's the difference between the two teams.

  6. Rangers lacking cutting edgepublished at 38 mins

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Can Rangers respond? Ovie Ejaria sends a header high over the bar, and the visitors will need to find a cutting edge in front of goal if they want to restore parity.

    Amid the Livingston euphoria, their manager Gary Holt remained impassive, but his cool exterior must mask sheer delight. Not only have his team created three clear-cut opportunities and taken one, they’ve limited Rangers to very limited chnaces of their own. Livi’s organisation is superb. Rangers’ not so much. Defensively they’ve been found wanting.

    GOAL Livingston 1-0 Rangerspublished at 33 mins

    Dolly Menga

    The hosts break the deadlock in style as Scott Robinson's cut back - after clever play on the left flank - is met by Dolly Menga, who is coolness personified to rifle a low shot inside the penalty area beyond Allan McGregor.

    Game. On.

  9. Case for the defencepublished at 31 mins

    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    James Tavernier whips a dangerous free-kick into the box... the unmarked Kyle Lafferty is about to rise for a header on goal but Declan Gallagher gets a crucial touch to head it behind for corner.

    Rangers have been the dominant team but the two Livingston chances missed are incredible. They could be sitting back at 2-0 soaking things up but both chances were missed.

  11. Livingston 0-0 Rangerspublished at 27 mins

    Kyle Lafferty engineers some space down the left and is about to clip a cross into the box but Craig Halkett has other ideas. Denying the Northern Ireland striker space, Halkett is then fouled by the Rangers marksman and another attack fizzles out.

  14. Livingston holding firm...published at 21 mins

    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers enjoying more possession and beginning to pin Livingston deep in their own half.

    Another half-chance for Alfredo Morelos but his header from the edge of the area lacks power to seriously trouble Livingston keeper Liam Kelly.

  16. Rangers step up pressurepublished at 17 mins

    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    The visitors are beginning to motor, if not find their feet. Scott Arfield and Borna Barisic combine to good effect but the latter's cut back for Kyle Lafferty fails to pay dividends as the big striker losing his footing before he can pull the trigger.

    That's the first time Rangers have opened up Livingston's defence. It remains goalless but we've got a cracker in West Lothian.

    Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos takes a tumble in the box after contact with Steve Lawless. Referee Craig Thomson trots up before deciding... play on.

    The rain is intermittent here but when it does come down, it does so heavily. That’s having an impact on the artificial surface here, with players finding it difficult to keep their footing. Almondvale is packed full, principally with Rangers supporters who occupy three of the four stands, hoping to see their team notch their first away win in the league this season.

    What a chance for Livingston! Craig Halkett nods a free kick across goal and Alan Lithgow stabs an effort wide from a couple of yards out with Allan McGregor stranded.

    Steven Gerrard's side look ill-at-ease combating crosses into the box.

    Will the hosts live to rue that miss?

    It's been a right good game. We expected a good edge to it and we've got that. There's been a few chances as well.
