Mikey Moore dropped in two changes as Russell Martin fights for job – Rangers predicted XI vs Livingston
Rangers are enduring a miserable season which could even get worse, with Russell Martin still winless in the Scottish Premiership.
Martin is under huge pressure after losing yet again, with Rangers beaten at home by Genk in their first Europa League outing.
Several Rangers players underperformed, with Mohamed Diomande sent off and John Souttar at fault for the goal, but the majority of the blame has been directed at the manager.
Rangers will face Livingston in their next game, and Martin could make two big changes to his lineup to try and inspire victory.
Youssef Chermiti call backfires for Russell Martin
Martin raised eyebrows when he dropped Bojan Miovski for Youssef Chermiti against Genk, and this decision backfired.
The striker was unimpressive and struggled to get into the game, with mounting questions aimed at Kevin Thelwell after a huge-money deal was sanctioned for Chermiti despite his lack of goals and experience.
Miovski has been a strong performer despite the lack of service into him under Martin, and as a striker proven in Scottish football, he can expect to come back into the side.

Mikey Moore to be dropped
Mikey Moore joined on loan from Tottenham to a lot of fanfare, but the youngster has failed to have any impact whatsoever since his arrival at Rangers.
Fellow summer signing Oliver Antman has had some bright cameos, and he could come in for the teenager on the right wing.
Moore looks lightweight so far, and many will question the terms of his loan contract if he continues to start despite his underwhelming performances.

Rangers predicted XI vs Livingston
Martin is set to stick with the same back four which has been ripped apart in recent weeks, but it is clear that the issues are more tactical rather than solely based on the personnel.
With Diomande sent off against Genk, the temptation could have been to drop him, but given that the alternative is Joe Rothwell, Rangers are better off sticking with the Ivorian.
Rangers predicted XI vs Livingston: Butland, Tavernier, Souttar, Cornelius, Meghoma, Raskin, Diomande, Aasgaard, Antman, Miovski, Gassama.
