Rangers know they got away lightly today with Gio van Bronckhorst staring down the barrel after a series of poor performances continued with a 1-1 draw at home to Livingston.After their dismal outing in the midweek win 1-0 win over Dundee in the Premier Sports Cup, fans were expecting an upturn in form given the last two performances at Ibrox were incredibly dour - the 7-1 loss to Liverpool needs no explanation.They couldn't have started worse; Jon Nouble collected a ball on his left, swivelled and fired a shot low beyond Allan McGregor to send the away following into delirium.

Time and time again Rangers tried to break the Lions down, but they were absolutely nowhere. Shamal George and Jack Fitzwater especially were dominating at the back as the hosts were unable to conjure a chance.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that the tide began to turn - Morgan Boyes was sent off for a challenge on Alfredo Morelos, giving Rangers a little bit of hope with just over 15 minutes left.And despite John Lundstram's equaliser into added time, the Light Blues just couldn't convert their chances by falling to a tepid draw, being booed and jeered off the pitch by the Ibrox faithful.

Rangers now remain four points behind bitter rivals Celtic after the Hoops won in a seismic tie in Gorgie earlier today; giving their Glaswegian nemisis breathing space in the title race after the disappointing draw.Livingston stay in sixth, but a point away at Ibrox is a huge scalp for David Martindale's men who held on so valiantly in Govan.
