Referee Don Robertson gets a word in his ear over a potential handball against Hibs midfielder Joe Newell, but play soon resumes.

A James Penrice cross from the left is met by Livi midfielder Scott Pittman.

But his touch is too heavy and prevents him getting a shot away.

The visitors are starting to motor again.

It's all become a bit scrappy, with both sides having a tendency to dwell on the ball and lose possession.

However, Philippe Clement will be the most satisfied manager, with his Rangers side enjoying the territorial advantage.

Livi want a penalty, they're absolutely screaming for the referee to point to the spot as Dan MacKay goes down in the box.

Play continues though as the ball goes up the other end and Danny Armstrong forces Shamal George down to his right to make a top stop.

Still waiting on a replay for this penalty shout...

I promised you goals pre-match, and we only had to wait just over 15 minutes for the first one. Danny Armstrong's fourth of the season for Kilmarnock.

They should be two up though. Very lax play from the returning Mikey Devlin, allowing Kyle Vassell to run in on goal. If he squares quickly, Marley Watkins has a tap in. He delays though, the defence blocks, and Livi's deficit is just the one.

Lions very tame so far though. Unlike them.

Not just his composure to finish it, but the pace to get away from the defender is really impressive.

Perfect start for Rangers and Philippe Clement.

It's a sensational finish from Sima.

Hibs lose it in the middle of the pitch, they have been taking a few chances there.

His finish to drill it in low from a tight angle is brilliant.

Dream start for Philippe Clement.

Big chance for Rangers.

A cross finds Cyriel Dessers unmarked around the penalty spot, but the Dutch striker's volley is straight at goalkeeper David Marshall.

Panic stations inside the Rangers penalty box.

Home centre-half John Souttar misjudges Lewis Miller's long throw-in, but neither Paul Hanlon or Elie Youan are able to take advantage at the back post.

You can see it's a clear 4-2-3-1 with Lammers playing in that 10 position, a position a lot of people have been saying he needs to be deployed in to get the best out of him.

He's played in there before whether it was as a sole number 10 or as part of a double 10.

The one thing is Hibs aren't going to give it back easily though, they're going to try and keep the ball and try to play as well and take the sting out of it when they get it.

That's a brilliant wee nick challenge from Mo Sangare.

Liam Polworth's free-kick looks certain to be nodded in by Stuart Findlay, but it's just flicked away from him by the Livingston midfielder.

An early blow for Rangers as Borna Barisic goes down injured.

The Croatia left-back's day only lasts 10 minutes as he is replaced with Ridvan Yilmaz.

First chance for Hibs.

A fine passage of passing play takes them into the Rangers penalty box and, when Connor Goldson fails to clear, Dylan Vente has a snap shot on goal.

However, the striker's effort is easily saved by goalkeeper Jack Butland at his near post.

Rangers break forward through James Tavernier, the home captain finds Sam Lammers in the clear midway through the Hibs half, but Will Fish gets back in time to divert wide the forward's shot from the edge of the penalty box.

Phillipe Clement has already made an impact. He seemed to play a ball that hadn't gone out of play, with Hibernian trying to get up the pitch. Very similar to the one Derek McInnes recently saw red for. That would have been quite something so early on.

First real chance for Kilmarnock to pump the ball in the box.

What can they come up with? Eh, nothing.

Danny Armstrong's free-kick from out wide has way too much on it.
