After a resounding 14-game unbeaten run with David Martindale, the Lions have hit a sticky patch of form. They’ve only won one of their last six games – including their Hampden defeat on Sunday.
Livingston are, however the only side to shut-out Rangers this season though, and Steven Gerrard’s rampant side know two wins in their next two games – plus a Celtic defeat on Sunday, could hand them the silverware.
