Rangers vs Livingston Prediction

Rangers have been in fine form this season and are unbeaten in their first 14 matches across all competitions (12 wins).

This is made all the more impressive when you consider that they have combined domestic action with navigating Europa League qualification, while they also totally outplayed their city rivals Celtic in the Old Firm derby last weekend.

All focus now on Sunday.Read more from the manager 👇

Livingston, for their part, have also impressed and their loss last weekend ended a four-game winning run that saw them climb up the table.

They will, however, have their work cut out against Steven Gerrard's side who have serious ambitions of ending Celtic's nine-year title-winning run.

Prediction: Rangers 4-1 Livingston
