In a clash between two teams from the upper half of the Scottish Premiership, fourth-placed Livingston will entertain second-placed Rangers at the Almondvale Stadium on Saturday (February 18).
The hosts returned to winning ways after two games with a comfortable 3-1 win at home over Kilmarnock a fortnight ago. They were unable to continue that form in the Scottish Cup, though, losing 3-0 against Inverness.
Rangers, meanwhile, extended their winning run in the league to five games, beating Ross County 2-1 at home, thanks to goals from Malik Tillman and Borna Barisic. They continued their winning run in the Scottish Cup too, beating Partick Thistle 3-1 at home.
