JAMES TAVERNIER insists Rangers won't take their eye off the ball and risk their unbeaten Premiership record by looking ahead to trophy day at Ibrox.

The champions face Livingston knowing that avoiding defeat would take them to within just one fixture - at home to Aberdeen on Saturday - of clinching an invincible league campaign.

Tavernier will be presented with the Premiership trophy after the Dons clash as Rangers are crowned as champions for the 55th time and end a decade-long wait for the silverware.

Livingston must be overcome first and foremost, though, and captain Tavernier said: “It will obviously be tough on the night, on an astroturf pitch.

"We know what’s required and we’ve prepared really well during the week.

“We will go there with our game-plan and hopefully we can execute it and get the three points although we know it will be tough.

“If we go there and do what we need to do then we should come away with the three points.

“Each day as it goes on the excitement is getting more and more.

"Our full focus is on [the Livingston] game and then we can focus on playing Aberdeen.

“After that all the joy and the emotion will just be coming out straight after the game. So yeah, can’t wait.

“It would be sweet [to go unbeaten] but we know we have two tough games ahead of ourselves and we just have to focus on [Livingston] and getting the job done there.

“Obviously we will see what happens against Aberdeen. But our full focus is on [Wednesday night] and trying to get the job done.

“As a defence we want to try and get another clean sheet to see if we can get that record as well.

“It’s been pretty easy [to focus] because we won the league a good while ago and we’ve had plenty of games since then.

“Nothing has really changed since the start, we have just looked at one game at a time.

“The excitement is building, it will happen on Saturday. But we don’t want any hiccups to spoil the good season we’ve had.”
