Events

Match Events

  • 0' Livingston FC have kicked off against Rangers FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Kyle Lafferty has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Scott Pittman made 251 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Connor Goldson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 17' A moment of madness from Scott Robinson on 17 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Livingston FC will be frustrated.
  • 22' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 27' Ryan Kent is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Rangers FC tonight.
  • 32' The 26-year-old Glenn Middleton has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 34' Goal! Dolly Menga scores his 3 goal in 251 matches.
  • 39' Livingston FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' Lassana Coulibaly makes way for Ryan Kent at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Rangers FC.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steven Gerrard will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Livingston FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Livingston FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Rangers FC's shape.
  • 63' Livingston FC ring the changes. Steven Lawless has done his job and it is now time for Bobby Burns to step up.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Glenn Middleton. He replaces Kyle Lafferty on 66 minute.
  • 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alan Lithgow suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' Rangers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 78' Steve Lawson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dolly Menga at the 78 minute mark.
  • 79' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Bobby Burns.
  • 84' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 89' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' The Livingston FC manager makes a substitution. Scott Robinson departs to be replaced by Craig Sibbald.
  • Full Time. Livingston FC beats Rangers FC
