How Rangers rated in 1-0 Scottish Premiership win over Livingston
Alfredo Morelos’ late goal gave Rangers three valuable points against Livingston – taking them to the brink of the Scottish Premiership title.
Steven Gerrard’s team could be one or two games away from sealing the silverware but were made to wait against the West Lothian side who have often been a thorn in the Ibrox side.
It looked to be that way again with time ticking down but Morelos' late tap-in with three minutes to play sealed the win after a controversial incident late in the first half where he was cautioned for simulation despite contact from Livingston goalkeeper Max Strejck. Steven Gerrard’s anger boiled over at the booking during the half-time interval and the Rangers manager was red carded but was still smiling come John Beaton’s full-time whistle which took his side one step closer to the title.
Here’s how the Rangers players rated…
