The home side could be at a disadvantage when Livingston turn up The Scottish Cup Third Round game between Elgin City and Livingston could be hampered by the home team being without five first team players. Striker Craig Frizzell is banned and Allan Dempsie, Paul Kazcan, Jamie Duff and Craig Gunn are all facing fitness tests. Manager Ross Jack will not field any of the players unless they are fully fit. He said: "Livingston are a really good side and there is no point in sending anyone out to face them that is not quite right. We are massive underdogs in this game but our aim has to be to get a big crowd behind us and try and unsettle them although Livi have great experience at the back with Tony Bullock and up front with Robbie Winters.'' Livingston travel without Keaghan Jacobs as the midfielder is recovering from hernia surgery. Boss Gary Bollan is wary of tomorrow's opponents, saying: "We had a good record against Elgin last season in the Third Division. However, any team that have lost only two of their last 10 games must be doing something right so there will be no complacency from Livingston. It is a one-off game and we need to be prepared for them to come at us from the first whistle. We have good players in our squad and if we weather the early storm I am sure we have match-winners in our team that can push us through.''
