Livingston Preview – Can Livingston keep up with ‘Gers?
The early signs of results so far for Livingston in this season’s Scottish Premiership strongly suggest not – the hosts have lost two of their first three matches of the new domestic campaign with back-to-back defeats against St Mirren 1-0 and a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Hibernian, and although Livingston gained a point in a 2-2 draw at Motherwell, the signs look ominous for Livingston ahead of this clash with Rangers.
If Livi suffer losses against the aforementioned lesser mortals, then the hosts appear to be hoping for damage control against Steven Gerrard’s Rangers outfit, especially as they’ve managed to register just one win from their last nine matches overall in the Premiership.
On top of that, Rangers have won each of the previous six encounters against Livingston, scoring a total of 13 goals and conceding just 1 goal in reply, so Livingston certainly look to have their work cut out to even get a point at home here.
Rangers Preview – Can Rangers maintain 100% start?
Sunday’s visitors, Rangers, will be eyeing off another three points ahead of this clash against early Premiership strugglers, Livingston, as they seek a fourth consecutive win and extend their 100% winning record as well.
Victories over Aberdeen 1-0, along with 3-0 home wins over both St Mirren and St Johnstone respectively have helped lift ‘Gers up into top spot of the Scottish Premiership and they’ll be sensing another relatively straightforward win is up for grabs at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday too.
The bigger picture looks fairly bright when looking at Rangers’ results away from home as they’ve suffered just two defeats out of their last 16 matches overall on their travels, winning 11 of these and keeping a total of eight clean sheets in the process during this period, so they’ll be a tough prospect for their hosts here I fancy.
