Rangers 2-1 Livingston: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

The match's opening goal came early for Rangers when Enzo Fernandez found the net in the 9th minute with an assist from James Tavernier, setting a positive tone, but Livingston equalised in the 18th minute through Tete Yengi's effort assisted by Stevie May, keeping the contest alive into the second half. A pivotal turning point arrived in the 78th minute as Mohammed Diomande scored Rangers' winner, assisted by substitute Bojan Miovski, with the goal confirmed a minute later, shifting momentum decisively towards the hosts. Impactful substitutions bolstered Rangers, notably Miovski entering at half-time for Thelo Aasgaard and Nedim Bajrami replacing Oscar Antman in the 64th minute, while Livingston's discipline issues, including yellow cards to Montano at 62' and Lawal at 71', hampered their comeback attempts without any penalties or red cards to escalate the drama.

Rangers lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a solid defensive base allowing James Tavernier to push forward effectively from right-back, forming a key partnership with the attacking midfielders, while the central duo provided stability to support advances from players like Mohammed Diomande.

Livingston deployed a 3-5-2 shape, emphasising width through their wing-backs and a compact midfield, with the forward pairing of Tete Yengi and Stevie May creating notable threats on the counter, bolstered by defensive partnerships in the back three.

Mohammed Diomande earned Man of the Match honours for his decisive contribution, scoring the winning goal in the 78th minute and displaying composure throughout, though he was substituted off at 90' for Connor Barron, his impact in midfield was crucial in Rangers' ability to regain and maintain the lead.
