Batman's coming on for Dessers.

I did say 'some'. I praised Dessers' positioning and overall play in a later post. I only see Lawrence coming off in that case, which I wouldn't like; Lawrence has been pretty good.

Yes, I wasn't criticising his overall play - which was pretty good - but his finishing wasn't quite there. He does get into good positions, which is a good skill to have.

Ah - I missed that. Who can I moan at now... ?

If Danilo is in Dessers' place he takes some of those chances.

The build-up to Dessers' shot towards the end of the half was sublime.

The decision to chalk off McCausland's goal was an absolute joke. The only reason Sima takes out the 'keeper - even then it's soft - is because Sima is being pulled by the Livingston defender. We should have had another penalty from McCausland's earlier shot, too.

It's subjective, hence why the referee was told to have a look.

About f*cking time! I've got Dessers as FGS, too...

He's clearly offside, but if he doesn't interfere with play it doesn't matter and the goal would have stood.

I've got the fear this is going to be one of those days...

Because it's dependent on whether Dessers interferes with play, which is subjective.

I thought that was clearly offside.

Livingston 1 - 2 Rangers FGS Dessers

You're the first to spell McCausland's name correctly in this page, and we've had three different spellings...

I've got the fear...

FGS Danilo

It's an interesting idea, doing away with the youth setup. Brentford did it, mainly because they couldn't justify the outlay. Instead, they focused entirely on their B-team; hoovering up young and overlooked talent through data analytics. We do have a B-team, and seem to be increasing our use of data-driven scouting. I wish we could get our B-team in the professional leagues, too.
