While I'm not convinced it will be as straightforward as the pre-match odds suggest, I’m still expecting Rangers to get the job done on Sunday.

That has been the case more often than not since Danny Rohl was appointed, with the German overseeing an impressive return of 14 wins from the 19 Scottish Premiership matches he has taken charge of. One of those victories was a hard-fought 2-1 success against Livingston at Ibrox, and a similar scoreline on Sunday is well within the realms of possibility.

The Light Blues know the importance of every fixture between now and the end of the season, especially with the title race tightening further since last weekend, leaving no margin for error. Rangers should also be in high spirits after producing one of their best performances of the campaign to defeat title rivals Hearts last time out.

That does not bode well for a Livingston side rooted to the foot of the table, losing 17 of their 27 Scottish Premiership matches this season, including a 2-1 defeat to Rangers at this venue.

Given how I expect this game to unfold tactically, I would be surprised if we do not see at least over 7.5 corners. Although Livingston have endured a difficult season, they rarely get blown away and tend to keep games competitive, as shown in their two previous meetings with Rangers this term, as well as their narrow 2-1 defeat at Celtic last midweek.

Moreover, Rangers' Scottish Premiership matches are averaging 10.70 corners per game this season, with the Light Blues posting a healthy team average of 6.52 corner kicks per outing. When Rangers last visited Livingston earlier in the campaign, they covered the over 7.5 corner line single-handedly, and they are more than capable of doing so again here against a Livingston side conceding an average of almost six corners per game in the top-flight this term.

That said, I would also expect the Lions to contribute to the corner count, particularly given the threat they pose from long throw-ins and set-piece deliveries into the box. Livingston forced four corners in their previous home meeting with Rangers and managed three at Celtic Park last midweek, suggesting they can help towards clearing the over 7.5 hurdle.

I think a strong case can be made for Rangers to collect two or more cards against Livingston on Sunday. Unlike in previous campaigns, Rangers have not been one of the best-behaved sides in the Scottish top-flight this term. In fact, the Light Blues are averaging 2.11 yellow cards per game in the Scottish Premiership, picking up multiple cautions in 59% of their fixtures so far.

With the title race heating up, the likelihood of that trend continuing only grows, especially against a Livingston side that embraces the physical side of the game. That was the case when these two sides last met at Ibrox, with no fewer than six cards shown, and Rangers collecting a couple of those cautions.

It’s also worth noting that Celtic picked up two cards when hosting Livingston last midweek, as did Dundee last weekend. Further encouragement comes from the fact that 6th-placed Falkirk were shown no fewer than four cards during a 2-1 victory against Livingston at this venue earlier this month.

I backed Mikey Moore to register at least 1 shot on target against Hearts on Sunday, only to be denied when one of his five efforts rattled the crossbar. I’m not going to let that near miss cloud my judgement, though, as the Rangers winger looks well worth supporting to test the goalkeeper against Livingston this weekend.

Moore has shown all season that he needs no invitation to pull the trigger, averaging a sizeable 2.72 shots per game in the Scottish Premiership, with 1.12 of those efforts hitting the target. A deeper dive into the numbers shows Moore has forced the opposition goalkeeper into action in 11 of his last 13 top-flight appearances.

The case is strengthened further by the fact that the Tottenham loanee hit the target when Rangers last faced Livingston at this venue earlier in the campaign. Moore should get ample opportunity to repeat the trick on Sunday against a Livingston side likely to sit in and soak up pressure. What’s more, the hosts are conceding an average of 5.15 shots on target per game in the Scottish Premiership this season, which adds weight to this selection.
