Rangers got off to a flyer in the Scottish Premiership with a late win over Livingston.
But gaffer Gio van Bronckhorst has warned his side they’ll need to tighten up at the back ahead of their vital Champions League qualifier on Tuesday night. Gers travel to Belgium for the first leg against Pro-League runners up Union St-Gilloise on the back of a 2-1 victory in West Lothian.
After falling behind to an early Joel Nouble strike, second half goals from Scott Arfield and skipper James Tavernier sealed an opening day three points. Livi’s big front-man caused van Bronckhorst’s men problems all afternoon, particularly new centre-back John Souttar. The Scotland defender was culpable for Nouble’s opener and was eventually hooked in the second half. The Rangers boss was delighted to kick off the new campaign with a win but says they cannot concede a goal in the manner they did going forward.
