David Martindale accepts that his Livingston team were lucky to end their match with Rangers on Saturday with 11 men - as he rued the impact of Scott Arfield.
The experienced midfielder has now scored five goals against Livingston and won 12 of his 14 battles with them. Another was notched on Saturday as he rose from the bench to score alongside James Tavernier in their 2-1 win at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Joel Nouble had put Livi in front before Phillip Cancar lunged into two similar tackles on Rangers' Scott Wright. Only one resulted in a caution as his boss admitted Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men should have been facing 11 men.
