- 20' Livingston FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' Motherwell FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 30' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steve Robinson will be considering his options from the bench.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' Another substitution for Motherwell FC to replace Jermaine Hylton by Bevis Mugabi on 46 minute.
- 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
