  • 8' Controversy at the stadium! Carl Tremarco argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 13' With 0 assists to his name this season, Julien Serrano is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Livingston FC.
  • 18' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ross Draper.
  • 23' Scott Pittman, a Scotland , has 18 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 28' Ross County FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 33' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 38' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 43' Livingston FC is showing some good football. However, Livingston FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 48' Billy McKay has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 51' Ross County FC player sees a Red card in front of him.
  • 52' Livingston FC ring the changes. Craig Sibbald has done his job and it is now time for Jason Holt to step up.
  • 56' Josh Reid has so much to prove this time. He replaces Billy McKay on 56 minute.
  • 57' Josh Mullin gets the nod from Ross County FC. He replaces Connor Randall and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 67' The referee calls foul for Julien Serrano. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Stephen Kelly suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' The Ross County FC manager makes a substitution. Ross Draper departs to be replaced by Jordan Tillson.
