Livingston v Rangers: title push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Livingston host Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 22 February 2026 in Livingston, with the visitors chasing leaders Hearts and the bottom club seeking a spark in their survival bid.

Rangers have taken both league meetings this season by the same 2-1 scoreline, winning away in September and at home in November. That record adds to a long favourable head to head trend for the visitors.

Form points the same way. Livingston arrive off four defeats and a draw in their last five league games, while Rangers are unbeaten across the same stretch, with three wins and two draws including a 4-2 victory against Hearts last time out.

Season numbers underline the contrast. Rangers average 59% possession with 84.53% passing accuracy, have scored 47 and conceded only 21 with 11 clean sheets. Their wide supply is consistent too, delivering 408 open play crosses at 20.34% accuracy and 10 headed goals, which could trouble a Livingston defence that has conceded 56 and kept just one clean sheet, with 45% possession and 75.06% passing.

Key threats are clear in the current league charts. Youssef Chermiti and James Tavernier lead Rangers with seven goals each, while Jeremy Bokila is Livingston's top scorer on five. Rangers have also taken six penalties at 83.3% success, so discipline in the box may matter.

Rangers sit second on 55 points and a win would move them to 58, which could take them top. Livingston are 12th on 12 points and victory would lift them to 15, narrowing the gap in the relegation fight.
