Celtic labelled Scotland's top team as Rangers differences highlighted by David Martindale

David Martindale insists he won't take his Rangers gameplan with him into Sunday's match against Celtic - as it will be two different games for Livingston in terms of style.

The Lions fell painfully short of a famous 1-0 win at Ibrox last week but settled for a 1-1 draw thanks to John Lundstram's stoppage-time goal, that came after Morgan Boyes was sent off. It doesn't get much easier on home soil this week as Ange Postecoglou brings the Hoops to the Tony Macaroni Arena, but the Livingston boss welcomes the challenge of playing both Glasgow giants consecutively.

In his view, Celtic are the club out in front just now and that just because they've frustrated Rangers, doesn't mean the same approach will impact the Hoops. Martindale told Sky Sports: "Two totally different games. I think Celtic are the team to beat. I think Ange has done a fantastic job. They're flying. Very, very difficult to break down and very, very difficult to stop. But we'll go into the game with our own game plan.
