"Four draws and a defeat has Martin's side one point behind their West Lothian hosts - albeit having played a game fewer - in their worst league start in 48 years. Rangers are winless in six league games - stretching back into last season - (D5 L1), the joint-longest run in their entire history (level with six other runs of six, most recently in December 2005)."
"And a game on a plastic pitch, against a physical team with a wily manager, is the last thing Russell Martin and his players need. They suffered a fourth defeat in 14 games in Thursday's Europa League loss to Genk and now the Ibrox side - sitting second from bottom in the Premiership - attempt to pick up a first league win of the season."
The Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals reduced Scottish Premiership fixtures last weekend, but a full weekend slate returns with Celtic and Rangers resuming domestic duty after Europa League ties. Several clubs are eager to restart after a weekend off. Rangers have begun the league campaign poorly, sitting near the bottom and recording no league wins so far, marking their worst start in 48 years and a six-match winless league streak. Livingston pose a difficult test on a plastic pitch under an experienced manager, while historical head-to-heads favour Rangers who have dominated recent meetings.
