Match Preview

Livi desperate to bounce back Livingston look set to be without Jason Talbot and Keaghan Jacobs for the visit of Stenhousemuir. Manager Gary Bollan, who has enjoyed almost a fully-fit squad since his arrival at the club, will hand a late fitness test to full-back Talbot while midfielder Jacobs is definitely ruled out following hernia surgery. Bollan is looking for his men to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season a fortnight ago against Ayr, and he feels the international break came at the wrong time for his men. He said, "My guys were really up for putting things right after the Ayr game as soon as possible. They have been itching to get back into a competitive game since and kick off against Stenhousemuir cannot come quick enough." Stenhousemuir manager John Coughlin welcomes back goalkeeper Chris McCluskey for the short trip south. The stopper has been sidelined with an ankle injury but makes a timely return for a game in which Coughlin believes his number one will be busy. However, the Warriors boss has challenges at the other end of the pitch where he is short of options again with Scott Dalziel, Alex Williams and Simon Lynch all out through illness or injury. Coughlin said: "We know Livingston start their home games at a really fast pace and we need to be prepared for that. Chris and his defenders will need to be on their toes from the first whistle to allow us to get a foothold in the game." The Warriors can look to their recent form for inspiration, with Coughlin adding: "We competed really well recently against an Ayr side who defeated Livingston."

Match Report

Livi cruise to victory Livingston thumped Stenhousemuir 4-1 to remain joint top of the Second Division. Livi hit a quick-fire treble against a poor Stenny side. A well-taken goal by Robbie Winters after 13 minutes was doubled when the unfortunate Pat Scullion put through his own net. Aaron Conway finished neatly after good work by Winters down the right to make it three, before Stenhousemuir briefly got back into the game when Willie Lyle's left-footed curler beat Tony Bullock. The reprieve was shortlived, though, when Iain Russell's header restored Livingston's three-goal lead just before the break. The second half was very quiet in comparison, with Livingston happy to keep possession and their opponents struggling to make any in-roads.
