GARY HOLT was frustrated at the manner of the goals Livingston conceded as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.
Early strikes from Joe Aribo and Jermain Defoe were enough to clinch a comfortable win for Steven Gerrard’s side as the Gers extended their lead at the top of the table.
Aribo finished from close range after Defoe had been denied by keeper Max Stryjek and Ianis Hagi set up the midfielder inside the area.
And Defoe would score a sublime second as he collected a long ball from James Tavernier and gave the Lions keeper no chance with a composed finished.
Holt said: “You have to give Rangers credit. They are a good side, they get into areas, they pull you about.
“The two goals we conceded were really soft as a defensive unit and we have to look at them.
“But it’s something we’ll look at and learn from. As a team we will grow from it.
“But you know when you come to places like this you have to make them work for anything they get and that’s the disappointing for us as a team.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
