History of the Glasgow Rangers v Livingston fixture

Rangers prepare to entertain Livingston at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the The Gers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was just last season, in December 2002, as the The Gers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 4-3 in a Scottish Premier match.
