Steven Gerrard’s team could be one or two games away from sealing the silverware but were made to wait against the West Lothian side who have often been a thorn in the Ibrox side.
It looked to be that way again with time ticking down but Morelos' late tap-in with three minutes to play sealed the win after a controversial incident late in the first half where he was cautioned for simulation despite contact from Livingston goalkeeper Max Strejck. Steven Gerrard’s anger boiled over at the booking during the half-time interval and the Rangers manager was red carded but was still smiling come John Beaton’s full-time whistle which took his side one step closer to the title.
Here’s how the Rangers players rated…

9. Alfredo Morelos - 8
Should have had a penalty and not a booking - but reacted positively and despite firing chances wide stuck to his task and was in the right place to tap in the winner. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
10. Joe Aribo - 7
Limbs seem telescopic at times and ball was under his command when nearby. Hold-up play and close control was vital for Rangers to keep the play moving and passing also positive. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
11. Ryan Kent - 7
Winger was another who was in and out of the game but persistent running kept Livingston occupied and on the back foot at times before being replaced by Zungu late on. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
12. BOSS - Steven Gerrard
