In the last few weeks there have been plenty of things said about clubs taking advantage of fans, you can add Livingston’s price of tonight’s live stream to that list.
£20.00 – Twenty pounds.
Yes, exactly. What planet are they on?
For the penultimate game of the season, in a dead rubber, how can that price be justified – it can’t.
However, more to the point, has that cost be decided with Livingston’s small support base in mind or is it more to do with cashing in from a vast Rangers support around Scotland and elsewhere in the UK.
You can decide that for yourself.
Pay-per-view for tonight’s final home game of the season against league champions @RangersFC is still available to buy.
Priced at £20, you can purchase your stream right up until 5.30pm tonight on the link below.

Fans on twitter didn’t take the news too kindly either:
@CF3Loyal – £20 to watch one ‘meaningless’ game via stream just about sums Scottish football up – there is absolutely zero given about the lifeblood of the game. The Fans.
@ScottishRajko – Youre just inviting folk to steal it at that price
@melly_mel – Thank goodness I’m working abroad this week
@jamie_1872 Ridiculous
@RangersFanTalk – Daylight Robbery
