Rangers

Van Bronckhorst had promised there would be a positive reaction to the flat display in the win over Dundee in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final in Govan on ...

But they could do nothing about the volley that Lundstram smashed into the top corner in injury-time. Rangers laid siege to the Livingston goal in the second-half. But match official Munro increased that to a red after watching back the incident on a pitchside monitor. When Jack Fitzwater went close to doubling their lead at a Sean Kelly corner the level of disaffection in the stands was cranked up a level. There was a VAR check in the 77th minute after Boyes brought down Morelos. But Jackson Longridge, who came on when Montano limped off injured at the end of the opening 45 minutes, nullified the threat which he posed down the right flank effectively. Breaking down rivals who positioned nine outfield players in and around their penalty area when they had the ball proved problematic. But the home supporters were soon making their unhappiness at their side’s play clear. An injury-time John Lundstram goal salvaged a draw and a point in the league encounter. But they failed to trouble the visitors’ keeper George. That miss set the tone for the afternoon. But at no stage did they look like prevailing and reducing the gap.
