Livingston boss David Martindale insists Rangers will not be arriving in West Lothian as a “wounded” side despite the pressure mounting on Russell Martin’s men.
The Ibrox club have endured a turbulent start to the season, with results and performances placing their manager under the spotlight. But Martindale believes the quality within the Rangers squad means his side must prepare for a tough test rather than expect a fragile opponent.
“I don’t buy into this idea of Rangers being wounded,” Martindale said ahead of the meeting. “They’re still a top side with players who can hurt you all over the park. No matter what’s going on around them, they’ll come here looking to win.”
Livingston are aiming to make home advantage count but Martindale knows the challenge is a formidable one, particularly with Rangers eager to respond to recent scrutiny.
