Prediction: 1-2
Rangers
Tony Macaroni Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Livingston and Rangers, the two top-table sides. The Lions aim to build on a 3-1 win over Kilmarnock, but they will have a mountain to climb against the title-chasing Gers. Bruce Anderson limped off with injury in the Scottish Cup defeat to Inverness, with Cristian Montano likely to sneak into the starting XI.
The capital club, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup last 16, with USA international James Sands scoring a late winner. Rangers are eager to put extra pressure on league leaders Celtic, and seeing that Livingston experienced all sorts of problems at the back against Inverness, away win should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that Kemar Roofe made his return from injury at the weekend, but all Steven Davis, John Souttar, Tom Lawrence, Filip Helander, and Nnamdi Ofoborh remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Scott Arfield):
Despite being born in Dechmont, Scotland, Scott Arfield represents Canada on the international stage. Arfield, though, played for Scotland U19 and U21 teams in the past and he made one appearance for Scotland B as well. Scott’s father, though, was born in Toronto, Canada and that is the main reason why he decided to play for the Canada national football team.
The Burnley midfielder made his Canada debut on March 25, 2016 in a 3-0 loss to Mexico. Scott Arfield began his club career at Falkirk and he scored 13 goals in 108 appearances in the league for the Scottish club. In 2010 he signed a deal with Huddersfield Town and he played for the Terriers from until 2013.
As previously mentioned, Arfield currently wear’s Burnley shirt, meaning that he is enjoying the Premier League football. You should bear in mind that the Scottish midfielder netted one goal for Burnley in the 2016/2017 season. He found the net in a 2-1 win over Everton on October 10, 2016.
Highlighted Team (Livingston):

The Lions recorded a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the title game played at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Livingston registered their biggest win against Stranraer (8-0) in August 2012 in the first round of the Scottish League Cup, while their most massive defeat came on December 14, 1974, as they were beaten 8-0 by Hamilton.
