- 0' Temperatures are rising at as Livingston FC face off against St. Johnstone FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.

- 15' The travelling St. Johnstone FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' 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 Liam Craig suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' The referee has no hesitation. Richard Foster is booked for St. Johnstone FC — Yellow card on 21.
