Rangers welcome Livingstone to Ibrox this evening knowing that a win could put distance between themselves at the top of the table and Celtic, who are four points behind in second place, and face third-placed Hearts of Midlothian, also tonight.
Giovanni van Bronckhurst’s team had a man sent off in the league draw with Aberdeen just prior to the winter break, enabling the Hoops to move within four points at the summit of the SPL.
Now, with star forward Ilias Hagi missing for the rest of the season as a result of an injury sustained in the cup, Rangers will seek to claim what could be a vital three points in their push for first back-to-back SPL titles since the 2009-11 campaigns.
