Rangers denied by determined Livingston

Visits: 8

Rangers moved top of the Scottish Premiership but dropped their first points of the season as they were held to a 0-0 draw by a resolute Livingston side.

Borna Barisic forced a sensational save out of debutant home goalkeeper Max Stryjek in the final minutes from a curling free-kick, but the point was as much as Gary Holt’s side deserved in a much-improved performance from their opening three games.

In a frantic ending, Ryan Kent then missed the target from a fine position in injury time, as Rangers finally stepped up their intensity that had been lacking for much of the game.

Livingston had appeared content with a point from the off – and failed to register a single shot before the break – but came closest when Craig Sibbald’s spectacular effort from his own half nearly caught out visiting goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin, who recovered well to avoid being embarrassed from distance.
