Livi only too happy to pounce on unrest at Ibrox

THE thing about a stadium like Ibrox is there are very few places to hide. By the end of another slog on Saturday the boos rang out and the Rangers players wanted the ground to swallow them whole. Giovanni van Bronckhorst stood on the touchline, contemplating a damaging draw. Kemar Roofe made a half-hearted gesture to applaud the fans. Alfredo Morelos, shoulders slumped, headed for the tunnel. 

None of it made a particularly pretty picture for those of a blue persuasion, especially not in a month that’s seen them twice swatted aside by Liverpool with worrying ease, and with Napoli - arguably Europe’s in-form team - still to come. All is not well in Govan. 

But, there’s always two sides to the story, and Rangers’ struggles were as much down to their own fragility as it was Livingston. Joel Nouble’s opener was just seven minutes away from going down as the Lions’ first-ever winner at Ibrox.
