Livingston manager David Martindale felt Scott Arfield fluked his winning goal for Rangers on a night when fortune didn’t favour the West Lothian side at Ibrox.

Second half substitute Arfield’s 75th minute strike, which looped over the head of goalkeeper Max Stryjek, proved decisive as Rangers preserved their four-point lead at the top of the Premiership table.

Martindale, who admitted his approach to the contest was influenced by the number of key players missing from the Rangers line-up, thought his team would have merited the share of the spoils they appeared to be on course for until Arfield’s intervention.
