It was the fifth win in a row and an eighth consecutive game unbeaten for Rangers on the weekend (WhoScored.com). Goals from Joe Aribo and Alfredo Morelos secured victory away to Livingston, in a matchup that was far from certain.
In fact, their Old Firm rival’s only loss of the Scottish Premiership season came against Livingston at the beginning of October (WhoScored.com). The win was big considering how close the title race between the two Scottish giants is this year. But it wasn’t just the fact that the team won that made fans happy, it was the manner in which they did so.
When Rangers head coach Michael Beale tweeted out about the result, these fans sang his praises. Their messages suggest that they have immense faith in the coaching staff at Ibrox.
Never been so proud of the team, everyone’s hard work is paying off big time, long may it continue

Other fans were happy with how effortless Rangers made the win look. Despite it only being a 2-0 game, Rangers looked comfortable throughout the 90 mins. They did admit that the team has another level to reach yet though.
Made it look routine which is the best thing about recent games, I still think we can go up levels (but maybe I’m being optimistic!)
Enjoy the break, recharge and get ready for huge next phase before Winter break

We will need to and we can in December. Some monster games coming up. This team has improved so much. Kent is huge for us and Morelos on this form can fire us to the title but huge December and we need to win at the Breeze Block Dome to make it 1-1 on old firm games.

Some supporters even dangled a carrot in front of Beale’s face, suggesting he would become a club legend if Rangers won the league with him as the coach. There is a good chance that Beale doesn’t need any additional motivation though.
You’re going to end up a rangers legend if you keep this up

Well done. Tough few weeks ahead, keep it up. Legend status and a major party awaits!!!

What do we think?
An international break means that Rangers fans must go a whole two weeks before they can watch their team play again. They will be hoping that their starters not involved in their national team programmes can rest up before an away trip to Hamilton. Then it’s a long winter for Rangers, with the team facing some considerable competition in December (WhoScored.com).
