Match Preview

Miller gets green light Ross County defender Gary Miller has been cleared to play against his former club Livingston. The SFA has down-graded the red card Miller received for handling the ball against Partick last weekend to a yellow card. Summer signing Sam Morrow could feature for the first time after being named in manager Derek Adams' matchday squad but Scott Morrison remains out with a stomach strain. "Livingston have a squad that are a mix of promising youngsters and very experienced players," said Adams. "In particular, Kenny Deuchar and Iain Russell up front are a real handful and we need to be on our guard against them." Livingston boss Gary Bollan has a full squad to choose from. With no injuries or suspensions as they head north, Bollan hopes his men can get the frustration of the draw with Falkirk out of their systems. The Lions conceded an injury-time penalty last weekend, with Bollan saying: "We have had a sense of disappointed and frustration all week and it is time to get rid of it, so I expect a reaction from the players. "Both Ross County and ourselves like to play good, attractive football so it should be a good contest. But if we play to our maximum we can win this game and forget about the dropped points against Falkirk."

Match Report

Brittain seals point for County Richard Brittain's penalty was enough to salvage a point for Ross County as they drew 1-1 with Livingston in the Scottish First Division. Although the home side were dominating possession, it was Livingston who went ahead when Gary Miller fouled David Sinclair and Kyle Jacobs' free kick was headed into the top corner by Sinclair after 39 minutes. But County were level on the stroke of half-time when Steven Scougall felled Marc Fitzpatrick and Brittain placed the spot kick low to the keeper's right. The hosts almost went ahead just after the hour when Brittain's header was tipped over by Andrew McNeil, before both teams were reduced to ten men - Steven Craig first to go for foul and abusive language and Paul Watson picking up a second yellow. Iain Russell had a late chance to win it for Livi but saw his left-footed shot saved by Michael Fraser.
