Ally McCoist will take charge of Rangers' fixture with Livingston on Saturday afternoon, despite the club's manager having his resignation accepted by the Glasgow giants.

The club's off-the-field problems and poor form resulted in the 52-year-old signalling his intent to leave Ibrox but as he continues to hold talks with the outfit's hierarchy, he will remain in charge for their next league fixture.

After witnessing his side slump to a 2-0 defeat at Queen of the South last Friday, McCoist is expected to make alterations, with David Templeton and Kris Boyd in contention to return to the starting lineup.

Livingston make the trip to Rangers at the foot of the Scottish Championship standings and without a manager after John McGlynn departed by mutual consent.

Striker Mark Burchill have been placed in temporary charge of the Lions, with the 34-year-old potentially taking himself out of the side to oversee things on the touchline.

Midfielder Michael McKenna is in line for a start as the club look to avoid a sixth straight defeat in the league.
