  • 20' Declan Gallagher has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Livingston FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 45' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 50' Livingston FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 52' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Daryl Horgan makes no mistake. 0-1!
