Team news

Rangers will be without winger Chris Burke for Saturday's meeting with Livingston. The player fainted against Aberdeen and is still struggling with a mystery bug. Dragan Mladenovic is still out with a hamstring injury and has yet to feature this season.

Livingston manager Allan Preston has a full squad to select from. Defender Oscar Rubio was rated as a doubt for the game with an ankle knock but the defender has ruled him self fit for selection.
