'Clever' Nico Raskin praised for Rangers penalty antics vs Livingston

Neil McCann has praised Nicolas Raskin for his role in winning a penalty for Rangers this afternoon.

The midfielder went down in the box after his shirt was tugged.

Although it wasn't initially given, following a VAR review, John Beaton pointed to the spot.

"I don't think there's enough to pull him down," admitted McCann live on Sky Sports.

"There's a pull on the jersey, but not for me.

"He's clever, Nico Raskin. As soon as he feels the tug of the jersey, he's going to go down."

Tavernier missed the penalty, although Rangers currently lead by a goal to nil thanks to his earlier acrobatic effort.

Boss Russell Martin made three alterations to his lineup this afternoon. Connor Barron , Oliver Antman, and Bojan Miovski all came in to replace Mohamed Diomande , Mikey Moore, and Youssef Chermiti.

Speaking to RangersTV pre-match, Martin explained his alterations: "I think I've liked Oli and Connor when they've both been on the pitch," he said.

"Bojan scored last week. We have to rotate him and Yousef a bit while they're picking up their fitness and getting up to speed with what we want.

"Youssef played brilliantly midweek. It was the first time he's played a lot of minutes, so we've had a very tired Youssef over the past couple of days.

"Bojan will come in and hopefully pick up where he left off against Hibs ."
