Two travels in a row for Livingston, whose manager D. Martindale could celebrate last time after the Premiership win against Kilmarnock. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Hamilton Academical.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Martindale when Scott Robinson scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. The end of the last match, against Kilmarnock, was very satisfying as Scott Robinson scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Livingston have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. 14 goals have been conceded by Livingston in these games.
