Livingston welcome Rangers to the Tony Macaroni Arena for the penultimate matchday in the Scottish Premiership.
The hosts come into this game off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen on home turf. Callum Hendry and Ryan Hedges scored second-half goals to render Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' late strike a mere consolation.
Rangers picked up a morale-boosting 4-1 victory against arch-rivals and city rivals Celtic. Kemar Roofe scored a brace to extend the Gers' unbeaten run against Celtic to seven games.
Steven Gerrard's side have already been confirmed as league champions and have nothing but pride to play for. Livingston will be seeking a win to usurp St. Johnstone into fifth position.
Livingston vs Rangers Head-to-Head
As expected, Rangers have a superior head-to-head record. They have 24 wins and eight draws in their last 35 games, while Livingston have just three wins to their name.
Their most recent meeting came on 3 March 2021 when a late goal from Alfredo Morelos was enough to give the champions a 1-0 away win.
Rangers are on the verge of finishing the campaign unbeaten, having won 30 and drawn six of their 36 league games to date. However, they suffered a shock penalty shootout defeat to St. Johnstone in the Scottish FA Cup quarterfinals.
Livingston are on a four-game losing streak in all competitions, with one of those defeats coming in a penalty shootout ouster by Aberdeen in the FA Cup.
