Rangers will aim to close the gap on league leaders Hearts as they visit basement club Livingston at Almondvale in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday (kick-off: 3pm).
Danny Rohl’s side went within two points of the Tynecastle outfit with a 4-2 victory over their title rivals last week, thanks to a Youssef Chermiti hat-trick, and could go top of the table with a win against Livingston this weekend should other results go in their favour.
Their hosts will be desperate for a result of their own, though, having gone 25 league games without a victory. Eight points adrift at the bottom of the table, Marvin Bartley’s men know they must begin to turn their form around sooner rather than later, with relegation back to their second tier staring them in the face.
