Prediction: 1-1
Livingston
A place in the Scottish FA Cup quarter-finals will be at the stake when Inverness and Livingston face each other at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Inverness are enjoying a successful season, but, as things stand now, they are unlikely to secure automatic promotion to the Premiership. The Caley Jags kicked off their FA Cup campaign by beating fellow Championship side Alloa Athletic, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Livingston.
Following four consecutive wins in the Scottish Premier League, the Lions suffered a 2-0 loss to Ross County in their last league fixture. Livingston aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but the game against Inverness will be anything but a walk in the park for the visitors. A close encounter is on the cards at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.

Highlighted Team (Livingston):
Nicknamed the Lions, Livingstone are the Scottish Premier League club founded during the Second World War (1943) under the name of Ferranti Amateurs. Livingston welcome their opponents at Almondvale Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 9,512.
The Lions are known for their amber home kit, with the team wearing white when playing on the travels. Livingston have yet to win the Scottish Premier League title, but they did remarkably well to go all the way in the Scottish League Cup in the 2003/2004 season. The Lions recorded a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the title game played at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Livingston registered their biggest win against Stranraer (8-0) in August 2012 in the first round of the Scottish League Cup, while their most massive defeat came on December 14, 1974, as they were beaten 8-0 by Hamilton. Legendary Premier League coach Paul Lambert is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
