Prediction: 1-1
Livingston
Ross County play host to Livingston at their Global Energy Stadium in what is expected to be a close Premiership game. The Staggies aim to build on a 2-1 win over Dundee, but the midweek game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Ross County winger Charles-Cook should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a penalty in the last league match. Midfielder David Cancola continues to miss out with injury.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Aberdeen. Livingston quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to St. Johnstone, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-six finish. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Global Energy Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Midfielder Cristian Montano is banned for the visitors.

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.
