Craig Halkett suspended for Livingston

Livingston's Craig Halkett misses out through suspension for the Ladbrokes Scottish League One clash with Stranraer.

Liam Buchanan returns to their the Livingston ranks for the match after recovering from a knock.

Manager David Hopkin said: "The teams have changed quite a bit over the summer so we will just concentrate on looking forward and not looking back.

"Stranraer were strong in this league last season however if we play like we did at Hamilton Accies last Saturday then we have the chance of getting off to a winning start."

Ryan Thomson, Willie Gibson and Smart Osadolor are all banned for the Blues trip to Livingston.

Manager Brian Reid said: "We did well against Motherwell last weekend and did not deserve to lose to a 3-0 scoreline.

"One of the reasons we did was that we did not do enough in the final third of the park and we need to do a lot better at Livingston.

"I am sure there will be an element of their players looking for revenge for our play-off win and we need to be ready for that."
