Livingston and Hibernian have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premiership.
It's no vacation for neither Livingston nor Hibernian as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hibernian are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
