    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers have still to get a shot on target, but this is the closest they have been so far.

    Alfredo Morelos finds a rare bit of space as Rangers counter attack this time, but the Colombian striker's drive finds the side netting from 20 yards.

  2. Barisic up front for Rangers!published at 16:59 British Summer Time 16 August 2020

    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    Interesting statistic there that left-back Borna Barisic is, on average, the further forward of any Rangers player so far.

    Shows how deep Livi are playing too.

    Every time the ball comes to Helander, he looks like he's ice skating. The Rangers defender doesn't look comfortable on the artificial surface

    The deeper and deeper Livingston get, the more important James Tavernier and Borna Barisic become for Rangers as they are getting the space, but there's a bit of frustration coming into their play

    James Tavernier whips a dangerous cross into the Livi penalty box and only a flick off the top of defender Jon Guthrie's head prevents it reaching Alfredo Morelos lurking on the edge of the six-yard box.

    I don't think it's a handball, think there wasn't an awful lot Jon Guthrie could do about it

    Jack Hamilton has done very well so far and I don't think Filip Helander looks particularly comfortable dealing with him. He's not won a header yet and he looks a bit nervous

    Livingston 0-0 Rangers

    A bit of pressure from Rangers and, from a corner, Ryan Kent's drive flicks off the heel of Jon Guthrie and off the defender's arm.

    No penalty award as that was completely accidental and he knew nothing about it.

    Jack Hamilton looks very sharp and he's certainly bulked up since the last time I saw him

    For a second there, it looked like Jack Hamilton was going to make a name for himself as he out-muscles Filip Helander and then almost gets away from a second Rangers centre-half, but Conor Goldson recovers to nip the ball clear of the big striker.

    The game has settled into the shape you might have been expecting, with Rangers taking control of possession and Livingston looking to threaten on the break.

    A couple of crosses into the home penalty box have been dealt with easily by Gary Holt's side.

    Young Jack Hamilton has shown already he's going to come short for the ball. That's important for Livingston if they are going to get anything from this game. It'll be a real tough day for them, though, as the movement from the Rangers front three is exceptional

    Not much between the sides in the early minutes.

    Neither goalkeeper has been threatened so far.

    One top scorer down, now another!

    Alfredo Morelos takes a tumble and is left limping as the Rangers front man makes a start that could concern manager Steven Gerrard.

    Livingston v Rangers (16:30)

    Rangers get the game under way after the now traditional taking of the knee for Black Lives Matter.

    Are the visitors on the way to the top of the table, or will Livi secure a first win of the season without QPR-bound Lyndon Dykes?

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has been speaking pre-match about the challenge his side faces to keep their 100% winning start to the season going.

    "We've been really organised and had a good shape about us so that’s the key and long may it continue", Gerrard tells Sky Sports.

    "We know Livingston will be aggressive against us, we need to accept that and see that as a challenge and have the bravery to play through it."
