Steven Gerrard faces a number of selection headaches after several players were ruled out through injury, but confidence will still be high in the squad following the recent 4-1 hammering of Celtic at Ibrox.

The game is set to kick-off at the earlier than usual time of 6pm and will not be shown on Sky Sports.

Livingston are streaming the fixture but are charging fans a whopping £20 to tune in.

That’s double the £9.99 that Rangers charge for home matches through RangersTV.

Remarkably, the West Lothian club have charged £20 all season and, unsurprisingly, it’s the highest PPV fee in the division, with St Johnstone the second-most expensive at £17.50 per game.

Rangers fans aren’t happy at all about the pricing and it’s likely that Livingston will miss out on a substantial amount of revenue as a result.
