Livingston 0-2 Rangers: Morelos' 22nd goal of the season seals routine away win

  /  autty

Alfredo Morelos' 22nd goal of the season helped Rangers secure a 2-0 win over Livingston that keeps the pressure on leaders Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

Steven Gerrard's side arrived at the Tony Macaroni Arena in buoyant mood after Thursday's fine 2-0 win over Porto in the Europa League, and they took the lead when Joe Aribo beat Matija Sarkic from the edge of the box (32).

Morelos added a slightly contentious second - with the Colombia striker appearing to be offside before his fine finish from out wide (52) - as the visitors eased to another three points.

The result keeps Rangers in second, level on points with Celtic but with an inferior goal difference after Neil Lennon's side beat Motherwell 2-0 on Sunday.

Livingston travel to face Celtic in the Scottish Premiership after the international break on Saturday, November 23 - kick-off is at 3pm. Rangers visit Hamilton the following day with kick-off at 12.15pm.
