Rangers got the better of Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday, securing a 2-0 victory to remain level on points with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
Joe Aribo and Alfredo Morelos scored in each half to hand the Light Blues a crucial victory ahead of the international break, and it’s now a two-horse race for the league title as Rangers have now picked up their 31 points from their opening 12 games, with only goal difference separating them from Celtic.
The Colombian striker grabbed his ninth league goal of the campaign to take his tally across all competitions to 22 this term, and former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae couldn’t help but shower praise on him on Twitter, reacting thus:
This chap @morelos2106 is a goal machine goal #22 an it’s now @RangersFC 2-0 livi
Morelos is level on league goals with Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard, with only Rangers teammate Jermain Defoe – who has scored 10 – ahead of him in the goalscoring charts.
