The best chance of the game so far as Borna Barisic's outswinging corner finds Filip Helander climbing above Marvin Bartley, but the Rangers centre-half's header squirms over the crossbar.

Good spell for Accies there. They keep St Johnstone penned in with three corners on the bounce.

The last one istheir best as Hakeem Odoffin climbs well but can't keep his effort on target.

The game is becoming more lively and Joe Aribo gets to the by-line, the midfielder's low ball takes a deflection off a defender and Livingston goalkeeper Max Stryjek manages to poke it wide for a corner at the front post.

Livingston threaten on the break, but former Rangers midfielder Jason Holt's low drive is blocked in front of goal by Filip Helander.

Most of the game is now being played in Livingston's half.

Rangers haven't been able to test the goalkeeper yet, or get behind the home defence, but Steven Gerrard will see it as small steps of progress.

Gavin Reilly hasn't had many chances to impress since joining Livingston and we might not see him in their yellow again for a while.

The striker hobbles off to be replaced with Scott Robinson, whose rest after Sunday's League Cup final shift didn't last long.

After a patchy start, St Johnstone are well in control and are starting to create chances.

This time, after some intricate play at the edge of the box, Guy Melamed hits a tame shot,

Goalkeeper Ryan Fulton spills the initial shot but eventually gathers.

Livingston 0-0 Rangers

Livingston striker Gavin Reilly is down with what worryingly looks like a hamstring injury as he pulls up chasing Borna Barisic.

Rangers' first real threat comes to a disappointing end for the visitors as Borna Barisic's free-kick is headed clear.

First opportunity of the game as St Johnstone pull out another crafty set-piece.

They crowd the box but clip the corner to the edge of the box where Scott Tanser is waiting.

The left-back catches it well enough, but it just flashes wide.

Not much to shout about in Hamilton so far

Both teams are struggling to keep the ball in play let alone create any chances!

It is Livingston who are looking more dangerous in the early stages and Scott Pittman fires a low 25-yard drive wide.

We're off and Rangers kick off hoping to take another big step towards the league title.

And we won't forget the progress as Accies look to lift themselves off the foot of the table.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard tells Sky Sports: "We have to keep being the best version of ourselves. If we do that, I'm confident we can take maximum points.

"It's an important fixture and we expect a reaction from Livingston. It's a different challenge. Livi are a team there's been massive improvements in since Davie [Martindale] took over.

"We have to be really organised and stand up to the ugly side of the game."

Hamilton head coach Brian Rice explains that, having won their appeal over Jamie Hamilton's red card last weekend, the defender misses tonight's game after "rolling his ankle on Friday".
