  1. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    James Tavernier cuts in from the right to have a pop with his left foot but there's not a lot of power on it and Livingston keeper Shamal George gets down to save without any fuss.

  2. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Rangers winger Ryan Kent was very quiet in the first half but now he gets his head down to go past Nicky Devlin and deliver a cross. An easy take for the goalie though.

  3. KICK-OFF

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    And away we go for the second half.

  4. Tillman on for Wright

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Malik Tillman is indeed on for his first league appearance for Rangers. Scott Wright is the man to make way.

  5. 'There will be scrutiny on Souttar'

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Michael Stewart
    Former Hearts midfielder on BBC Scotland

    John Souttar is a top player but he's going from the right side of a back three at Hearts to playing left in a two. There will be scrutiny because he wasn't good enough in the one v one situation that led to the goal

  6. Tillman going through his paces

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Ever the professional, our man at the Tony Macaroni Arena, Jonathan Sutherland, makes light of the fact he has a mouthful of half-time pie to tell BBC Sportsound listeners that Malik Tillman is going through a thorough work-out. Will we see United States international on for the second half as Rangers seek a way back?

  7. 'Nouble causing chaos'

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Michael Stewart
    Former Hearts midfielder on BBC Scotland

    The one thing that isn't a surprise is Joel Nouble is causing chaos. I'm surprised other clubs weren't looking at him. He has dragged the Rangers defence all over the place and he's got three yellow cards out of them.

  8. Stat attack

  9. HALF-TIME Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    The home side lead thanks to a lovely early goal from Joel Nouble.

    Rangers have had almost all of the ball since but haven't done an awful lot with it.

  10. 'Rangers in need of calming talk'

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    I think Giovanni van Bronckhorst will look forward to the half-time team talk, just to calm his players down and get some information into them

  11. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Tom Lawrence has another go but his strike is sliced high and wide. Still waiting for that first Rangers shot on target.

  12. YELLOW CARD

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    The fifth booking of the first half goes the way of Sean Kelly as the Livingston midfielder blooters the ball away following a break in play after foul from his team-mate Stephane Omeonga.

  13. 'Goalkeeper hasn't had a save to make'

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    Shamal George hasn't had to make a save. Livingston are defending that six-yard box so well.

  14. YELLOW CARD

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Joel Nouble is brought crashing down to the artificial surface once more and this time Rangers defender John Souttar is the culprit.

  15. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Five minutes or so to go until the interval and we're still waiting for Rangers to get a an effort on target.

  16. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Joel Nouble is causing problems for Rangers again as the ball breaks his way from a long free-kick. The Livingston striker gets a shot away near the edge of the box but it's blocked by a red and white shirt.

    TV replays show the ball brushing the hand of Glen Kamara before Nouble's shot but the Rangers midfielder didn't know much about it and was just outside the penalty area.

  17. Montano on for Cancar

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Phillip Cancar, perhaps fortunate to avoid a second yellow just minutes ago, is removed from the fray by Livingston manager David Martindale.

    Cristian Montano is the replacement.

  18. Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Phillip Cancar, already booked, clips Scott Wright again. That's pretty rash from the new Livingston full-back.

    Rangers players crowd Don Robertson but the referee is unmoved and settles for a glower in the direction of Cancar.

  19. 'Obileye should score'

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    What an opportunity. Ayo Obileye, he's cursing himself. He should score, or at least find a corner to ask bigger questions of the goalkeeper.

  20. YELLOW CARD

    Livingston 1-0 Rangers

    Another booking and another foul on Joel Nouble as Connor Goldson bundles the lively Livingston striker over.

    Ayo Obileye is completely unmarked from the resulting free-kick and makes a strong connection with his header, but it's too close to Rangers goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin, who makes a comfortable save.
