History of the Livingston v Rangers fixture

Livingston prepare to entertain Rangers at Almondvale Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Livingston's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Livi have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Livingston find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 11 games have yielded only 3 points. Rangers find themselves in a respectable 4th position, courtesy of the 20 points they have accumulated from 11 games.
