James Tavernier swerves Celtic title question as gutted Rangers skipper admits 'we can't focus on them'

Captain James Tavernier refused to be drawn on Rangers title hopes after their miserable draw with Livingston left Celtic four points clear at the top.

Joel Nouble gave the visitors an early lead with David Martindale's men putting in an impressive defensive display as they kept Rangers at bay for the majority of the Scottish Premiership showdown. It took Livingston going down to 10 men to allow the home side to rescue the point, with Morgan Boyes high challenge on Alfredo Morelos being upgraded from a yellow to a red after a VAR review.

John Lundstram would level the game late in the showdown, but that wasn't enough to appease the furious Rangers faithful as they booed off their side for the second time this week after a poor showing in Wednesday's Premier Sports Cup win over Dundee. The result puts the defending Scottish champions in the driving seat after they came out on top during a whirlwind 4-3 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle.
