The Tony Macaroni Arena will play host to the 2022/23 Scottish Premiership’s curtain raiser as Livingston and Rangers meet on Saturday lunchtime.

With Celtic’s opener against Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon wrapping up the weekend’s fixtures, it’s an early chance for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side to send a message of intent as they look to wrestle the title back from their rivals this term.

The Ibrox outfit finished four points short last term but did get their hands on some silverware of their own by beating Hearts in the Scottish Cup final – and went close to European success in the Europa League final.

Still, the Dutch coach will know that his Rangers tenure is ultimately likely to be judged on whether he can lead the blue half of Glasgow to another Scottish Premiership success.

A victory in the season opener would be an ideal way to start and it’s Livingston first up. They secured a respectable 7th-place finish in 2021/22 with the help of a six-game unbeaten run to close out the 2021/22 campaign.

The Lions have had a busy transfer window and will know that any sort of result against Rangers would represent an excellent start to the new season.

Our prediction: Livingston v Rangers

Livingston boss David Martindale has labelled Rangers a “phenomenal” side ahead of Saturday’s game, which really looks a tough ask for the hosts.

The Ibrox outfit are going to be raring to go as they look to launch their bid to recapture the Scottish Premiership title in style.

You’d question whether Livingston have it in them to break through what looks like a very solid Rangers backline while there’s no shortage of attacking talent either – despite the fact Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos are not yet fit.

Our prediction: Livingston 0-2 Rangers (11/2 at bet365)
