'Small margins cost titles'

[BBC]

We asked for your thoughts after Mikey Moore's 88th-minute header rescued a draw for Rangers against Scottish Premiership strugglers Livingston.

Here's what some of you had to say:

Alan: One of the strangest decisions of the season at the end. It's a foul all day long, only question was inside or outside the box? Small margins cost titles, and this year it's tighter than ever.

Derek: It was proved again today, Chermiti is not the answer! Why couldn't we play with the same intensity that we finished the game with? Far too slow and poor goals to give away from a defensive point of view. No wins in the last three away games, that form doesn't win you leagues. Sorry lads, just not good enough.

Elaine: Not our best but how many times are we going to be on the wrong end of a ridiculous VAR decision. Fair play to the Livi goalkeeper though but his MOTM says it all. Our strikers need to step up if we are going to win the league.

Stewart: There was large parts of that game where the Rangers players looked like "if we turn up we'll win" which I felt was quite obvious. Livingston didn't play that well, we made them look like a top six team and that's not what makes teams title contenders. Too much emphasis on "was it a penatly" when we were poor and couldn't finish a fish supper for so much of the game. Lucky that Celtic lost or the atmosphere would have been much more toxic at the end.

John: Rangers threw the kitchen sink at Livingston but it was it was just one of those days unfortunately. On another day it could have been 2-5. Ref's decision not to award a foul/penalty and red card for the late challenge on Mikey Moore was an epic howler. Onwards & upwards. The upcoming Old Firm double header will be pivotal in deciding the honours for season 25/26. I can't wait!

Matthew: A frantic performance categorised by desperate attack and lacklustre defense. Rohl has worked wonders with this squad, but our defensive shape is still at sea every time we face set pieces and counter attacks. Some of these guys earn more every week than I do in a year - surely you can stay focused for a full 90 minutes of a football match. We seem incredulously shot shy, passing backwards or sideways waiting for an open goal or a tap in to present itself. We need another dimension in attack.
