    Rangers have no new injury worries for the visit of Dumbarton on Tuesday night as they look to rubber stamp the Championship title that has been destined for Ibrox for some time.

    The silverware was in their hands until the 94th minute at Starks Park on Saturday when Raith's Harry Panayiotou pounced to postpone the title party for at least another 72 hours.

    The statistics suggest there should not be any hiccup for Mark Warburton's battlers this time round; in their three meetings with the Sons this season the aggregate score is 12-1 in favour of the Light Blues.

    Striker Michael O'Halloran, who was on the scoresheet in the 3-3 draw in Kirkcaldy, told the club website: "I'm not going to lie the lads were devastated at the end of the game on Saturday but there are a lot of games still to play.

    "Dumbarton are doing okay at the minute and they will come and frustrate us but we know if we go out and play our normal game we can get across the finish line."

    Martyn Waghorn and David Templeton remain long-term absentees for the hosts who are 14 points clear of Falkirk in second place.

    Dumbarton are eighth in the division but in danger of being sucked into the relegation play-offs; Livingston are currently in ninth, just two points behind having played one game more.
