Rangers took an early lead when E. Fernandez scored assisted by J. Tavernier at 9', setting a dominant tone from the outset. Livingston responded quickly with T. Yengi finding the net assisted by S. May at 18', levelling the score and injecting some fight into the contest. The first half ended with both sides level, as Rangers made a halftime change with B. Miovski replacing T. Aasgaard at 46', aiming to bolster their attack.

The second half saw tensions rise with yellow cards for Jayden Meghoma at 59' and Cristian Montano at 62', while substitutions flowed for both teams. Rangers regained the advantage when M. Diomande scored assisted by B. Miovski at 78', a goal confirmed at 79', proving decisive. Late yellow cards and substitutions, including Nedim Bajrami at 81' and Robbie Muirhead at 85', couldn't alter the outcome as Rangers held firm for the win.

Rangers dominated possession with 73% compared to Livingston's 27%, allowing them to control the game's rhythm and create more opportunities, which ultimately led to their victory despite not converting all their dominance into corners, where they edged it 2-1. Successful dribbles were close at 55 for Rangers and 44 for Livingston, showing both sides had moments of individual flair, but Rangers' higher assist count of 2.0 to Livingston's 1.0 reflected their sharper finishing in key areas. Cards piled up with Rangers receiving 2 yellows and Livingston 4, adding to the intensity, while both teams used all 5 substitutions, with Rangers' changes like B. Miovski coming on for T. Aasgaard at 46' and N. Bajrami replacing O. Antman at 64' proving impactful in shifting momentum.

No red cards or yellow-reds were issued, and there were no penalties or injury-time goals, keeping the focus on open-play efforts. These stats underline Rangers' overall superiority, as their possession and timely substitutions helped them overcome Livingston's resilient but less efficient performance.

The match's early turning point came at 9' when E. Fernandez put Rangers ahead with an assist from J. Tavernier, but Livingston equalised at 18' through T. Yengi assisted by S. May, keeping the game competitive. A halftime substitution saw B. Miovski replace T. Aasgaard at 46' for Rangers, which later paid off as Miovski assisted M. Diomande's goal at 78', confirmed at 79', securing the lead. Yellow cards disrupted the flow, with Jayden Meghoma booked at 59' and several for Livingston including Samson Lawal at 71' and Mahamadou Susoho at 90+1', while late substitutions like M. Aarons coming on for J. Meghoma at 84' helped Rangers manage the closing stages.

Rangers lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with J. Tavernier providing leadership from the back and linking well with attackers like E. Fernandez, whose early goal highlighted strong partnerships in midfield and forward areas.

Livingston deployed a 3-5-2 shape, relying on midfield width and forward pairings such as T. Yengi and S. May, who combined effectively for their equaliser, showcasing defensive solidity blended with counter-attacking threats.

Mohammed Diomande earned Man of the Match honours for his decisive contribution, scoring the winning goal at 78' after good work from substitute B. Miovski, demonstrating composure and impact in midfield throughout his time on the pitch before being replaced by C. Barron at 90'.
