Watch Livingston vs Rangers live on Sky Sports Football this weekend
Sunday 16 August 2020 18:48, UK
Team news, stats and predictions for the opening round of the Scottish Premiership, as Rangers look to maintain their perfect start.
Livingston defender Ciaron Brown is set to miss the Scottish Premiership clash with Rangers.
The centre back went off with a leg strain at Motherwell on Wednesday.
Goalkeeper Robby McCrorie will not be able to face his parent club so Max Stryjek is in line for a debut.
Rangers will be without injured Leon Balogun. The 32-year-old defender, signed last month on a free transfer from Brighton, did not appear for the second half of the 3-0 victory over St Johnstone on Wednesday night with a thigh problem and the club is awaiting scan results.
Filip Helander replaced Balogun in midweek but boss Steven Gerrard has admitted he faces a tricky decision over who will partner Connor Goldson. "Filip came on and did extremely well and George (Edmundson) has had a real
strong pre-season so I'll give it as late as I need to and then make a decision," Gerrard said.
Key stat: Rangers are looking to win three consecutive top-flight away matches without conceding a goal for the first time since October 2011 (a six-game run).
