Overview

• Rangers beat Livingston 2-1 in West Lothian as James Tavernier scored acrobatically, his penalty was saved, Mo Sylla equalised, and Max Aarons struck in stoppage time.
• The result marked Russell Martin’s first Premiership victory, yet travelling supporters chanted for him to go as he headed down the tunnel.
• Commentators said the stoppage-time rescue only papered over problems, citing a second-half drift into short, sterile passing and reduced threat.
• Analysts questioned organisation and clarity of roles in defence, pointing to persistent uncertainty at the back and a run of 21 goals conceded in 15 matches.
• Rangers remain nine points off the top despite Livingston’s strong showing under David Martindale.
