Rangers had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Livingston.

After a poor first half both teams netted in the opening four minutes after the break through Myles Hippolyte and Marius Zaliukas.

Livingston had an early goal ruled out when Jordan White went into an aerial challenge with Cammy Bell, who spilled the ball as he landed and Hippolyte was baffled when his effort was not allowed to stand.

Hippolyte gave the home side the lead two minutes into the second half when he curled a free-kick over the defensive wall and inside the post with Bell rooted to his line.

Rangers responded two minutes later when defender Zaliukas sent a backward header into the net from a Haris Vuckic free-kick.

Vuckic hit the post for the visitors moments later but Rangers could not maintain the pressure as Livingston battled to a deserved point.

The draw puts Rangers one point ahead of Hibernian in second place in the Championship with three games left of the regular season, while Livingston cut their deficit on Alloa to two points.
