Match Preview
Livi given McNulty boost Livingston's young striker Marc McNulty, who bagged a hat-trick before being substituted with an ankle knock in the 6-0 win against Irvine Meadow last week, has been passed fit for the visit of table-topping Ross County. Liam Fox and Iain Russell are both under consideration for starting places after sitting on the bench against Irvine, but former Scotland defender Maurice Ross remains out with a hand injury. Manager Gary Bollan said: "This is a really hard game against a side that is going well and who will be full of confidence. "The players did a very professional job down at Irvine in the Scottish Cup but this represents a different challenge. We will go into the game with confidence." Leaders Ross County are again without striker Sam Morrow, who is suffering from an Achilles injury, as they look to become the first Dingwall side to defeat Livingston in a league game in 18 attempts. Manager Derek Adams knows that his men will have to perform well to do so, saying: "Not only do we have our own poor record against Livingston to contend with, they are also unbeaten at home in over 19 months which is a great record. "They have climbed up to third place in the table and have been going really well so it should be a cracking game. "We won a cup tie over Livi at the start of last season and drew this season so we have been getting closer."

Match Report
McMenamin double boosts leaderrs Colin McMenamin scored twice for leaders Ross County as they romped to a convincing 3-0 win over 10-man Livingston at Almondvale. Kenny Deuchar fired over for the home side in the first half before Livi striker Rory Boulding was dismissed for foul and abusive language after 56 minutes. The visitors went on to make their numerical advantage count with three goals in the final 25 minutes. Michael Gardyne connected with Marc Fitzpatrick's cross to open the scoring in the 65th minute before McMenamin took centre stage with two strikes in three minutes for his third and fourth goals of the season. The striker collected Richard Brittain's pass to slot home from close range and then rifled into the bottom right-hand corner to seal the win.
