Two quick-fire second half goals condemned Livingston to an opening day defeat as they went down 2-1 at home to Rangers.
The hosts were remarkable for the opening 45 minutes and fully deserved their half-time lead, brought about by Joel Nouble's dinked effort over Jon McLaughlin on five minutes.
But the all-energy defensive stubbornness wasn't replicated after the break and there was an air of inevitability about it all when the Gers bagged two goals in the space of two minutes. Firstly, Scott Arfield glanced a header across goal from a Ryan Kent cross on 73 minutes before the skipper James Tavernier rifled a free-kick home from the edge of the box barely two minutes later to complete the turnaround.
