“He (Aribo) is got a little knock, we’re hoping to have him available next weekend but it was too risky to do today,” Gerrard stated before the game.
The former Charlton Athletic star featured in Rangers’ previous three league games this season.
His international team-mate Leon Balogun also missed the game as a result of injury picked up in the game against St Johnstone.

Aribooool I wish you quick recovery and injuries free through out the season,may Jehovah lord guide and protect u in Jesus name amen
Amen in Jesus Christ name.
Even the fans said it after the match that Aribo’s absence was felt big time. “No Aribo, No Rangers”. There’s no one to push them forward. Though Livingston were very defensive, Aribo’s game of drawing Defenders out and penetrating their defence with his 1-2, and Magic Quick feets would have bailed them out. All the same, Rangers are still in a good shape so far. Conceded 0 and still Unbeaten. Hopefully our Naija boys Balogun and Aribo will be back in time
