Key Highlights

  • The Zimbabwe international opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a looping header and as the half-hour mark approached he curled home a second.
  • Elijah Just hit the woodwork and Maswanhise could have scored a third in a match dominated by the visitors. Livingston’s problems mounted with news that 11th-placed Kilmarnock had crushed Aberdeen 3-0 at Rugby Park to move six points clear of the bottom.
  • A glancing header by Brad Lyons and a well-taken finish by Bruce Anderson, scored in quick succession, propelled Kilmarnock into an early lead.
  • The Dons’ problems mounted when their captain, Graeme Shinnie, was shown a straight red card for a high challenge and Tyreece John-Jules added the third soon after. St Mirren and Dundee fought out a goalless draw at Love Street. On Saturday night, Hearts, the leaders, are in action at Dundee United, looking to build on their four-point advantage over Rangers.
  • On Sunday, the Old Firm are in action after Thursday night’s Europa League endeavours.
