    If you think about how slack the goal was that Livingston conceded, that will be the source of frustration, but to go in at Ibrox 1-0 down at half-time is never a disaster.

  3. HALF-TIME Rangers 1-0 Livingstonpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    Rangers lead thanks to that early goal from Ianis Hagi. The champions have been dominating the ball but there haven't been too many other goalmouth incidents.

    Rangers may not be pressing with the same ferocity but Livingston are still toiling to keep the ball for more than a couple of passes.

    A wee bit of tempo has gone out of Rangers play. They started at a furious pace, but it's come off a bit in the last few minutes.

  6. Postpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    With half-time around 10 minutes away, the pattern of play remains the same. It's all Rangers, with Livingston sitting deep and hanging on.

    Quote Message

    Scott Wright is a top quality player, he needs to try and cement his place in this Rangers team. He had fleeting moments last season but he wants to become a regular and to do that you need to put in big, big performances because of the quality in that team. He has to be offering assists and goals to keep his place in this team.

  8. Wright on for Hagipublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    Rangers 1-0 Livingston

    Ianis Hagi is still feeling that wild challenge from Adam Lewis and Rangers are taking no chances, replacing the goalscorer with Scott Wright.

    Rangers 1-0 Livingston

    Fashion Sakala has been pretty quiet up front for Rangers so far but now he's chasing after a Joe Aribo pass close to the byline. Out comes goalie Max Stryjek to smother at the striker's feet.

    Alan Forrest clips the heels of Calvin Bassey as the Rangers left-back motors forward.

    Rangers were at sixes and sevens in terms of their marking, it was a huge opportunity for Livingston, but Ayo Obileye seemed to be surprised when the ball came to him.

    A chance for the visitors as Ayo Obileye finds himself unmarked from a corner but the big defender makes a hash of his header and Rangers clear.

    Quote Message

    Livingston were trying to press and close Rangers down high up the park, but within a couple of minutes Rangers have managed to disintegrate that press. Livingston manager David Martindale will be absolutely furious to concede from a set play, horrendous marking. You really don't need to give Rangers any sort of favours when they're in this form.

    Livingston have not managed to put three passes together. They keep giving the ball away. And when you do that against Rangers it's just going to be wave after wave of attacks.

  16. YELLOW CARD - Lewis (Livingston)published at 13:45 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    Rangers 1-0 Livingston

    Liverpool loanee Adam Lewis looks a bit bewildered by the pace of the game and now's he's on an early booking for chopping down Ianis Hagi.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 13:43 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    Rangers 1-0 Livingston

    Almost a second goal for Rangers as Joe Aribo takes the ball down on his chest and fires off an awkward bouncing effort which Max Stryjek does well to push away.

    I thought Ianis Hagi was going to hit it first time but he takes an exquisite touch. His control is instant. But the marking, you have to say, was diabolical from Livingston.

  19. GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Livingstonpublished at 13:39 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    Ianis Hagi

    Well, that didn't take long...

    Ianis Hagi is left all alone to gather a James Tavernier free-kick at the back post. He feints to shoot, deceiving three lunging defenders, then blasts the ball high into the net.

    It really is so good to have fans back. To have that number back in at Ibrox you can just feel the lift it will give the players. I would have hated to have played in front of no fans.
