  1. Livingston 'limiting' Aberdeen

    Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston

    Allan Preston
    Former Livingston boss on Radio Scotland

    Pittodrie's a tough venue to come to at the best of times They (Livingston) go 1-0 down, show unbelievable character, equalise straight away and now they find themseIves 2-1 up. They're difficult to beat. You can see they're well drilled. I think their back four have played really well and limited Aberdeen

  2. Aberdeen 1-2 v Livingston

    Scott Wright is trying to create something for Aberdeen, but lacks an end product. The winger cuts back on to his left foot on the right flank but he can only curl a shot into the side netting.

  3. Aberdeen defence 'all over the place'

    Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Aberdeen's defence all over the place again. Livingston have been up the park on a couple of occassions. It's good play and it's well set up. He's at a tight angle to get it past Joe Lewis

  4. What a turnaround

    This Livi side have character in buckets – to come from behind at Pittodrie, and now they have the lead, what a turnaround.

  5. goal

    GOAL - Aberdeen 1-2 Livingston (McMillan)

    Niall McGinn dispossessed far too easily by Dolly Menga, who slips it on to Scott Pittman. The midfielder plays a short pass through to wing-back Jack McMillan, who keeps his composure to slide it past Joe Lewis into the far corner.

  6. 'Decent strike'

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Scott Wight had a decent strike there but you've got to test the goalkeeper and that's just slipped by the post. He can score. He's got it in him and he's beginning to look lively

  7. Aberdeen 1-1 v Livingston

    Scott Wright finds himself in space on the edge of the area but his right-footed effort slides wide of the left-hand post.

  8. How Lowe can you go, Derek?

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland

    Max Lowe causing all sorts of problems for Livingston. Trying to keep him at Pittodrie beyond January must be a top priority for Derek McInnes.

  9. Aberdeen 1-1 v Livingston

    Max Lowe wins a free-kick out on the left flank, but Niall McGinn curls it in way too close to Liam Kelly and the Livi keeper holds it comfortably.

  10. Aberdeen 'gone flat'

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    You would have though that goal would have given them confidence and a settling effect that getting a goal normally has but when you lose one so quickly and from a defensive error as well, that knocks you back.The early signs were good but's it's gone flat since the equaliser went in

  11. Half-chance for May

    Aberdeen 1-1 v Livingston

    Dons left-back Max Lowe, out on the right flank, cuts onto his left foot and whips in a cross that Stevie May can only head over.

  12. ouch!

    Aberdeen 1-1 v Livingston

    Andrew Considine has not started this match well. The Aberdeen centre-back clatters into Craig Sibbald in an aerial challenge which leaves the Livingston forward wincing and holding his back.

  13. McGinn scores on return to side

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    That was only Niall McGinn's second goal of the season, but it was well taken.

    But the Dons could only hang onto the lead for three minutes...

  14. 'Look away now'

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

    While all the focus has been on Aberdeen’s striking issues, that was an uncharacteristic ‘look away now’ moment by the Dons defence to gift wrap Livi the leveller - an early Christmas present

  15. Considine 'caught at sea'

    Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    It's a crazy goal to lose. Andrew Considine caught at sea, not making a decision. He's got loads of experience and at this stage of the game, he's got to deal with that much more effectively.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Aberdeen 1-1 Livingston (Pittman)

    Defensive calamity for the Dons, as Andy Considine lets a long ball bounce over him. Craig Sibbald's shot is saved by Joe Lewis, but Scott Pittman follows up and his left-foot rebounds off Considine and into an empty net.

  17. 'Magnificent goal'

    Aberdeen 1-0 Livingston

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    A magnificent goal out of nothing. A cross from Sam Cosgrove and McGinn pops up for it. This has been what's been sadly missing from Pittodrie all season.

  18. goal

    GOAL - Aberdeen 1-0 Livingston (McGinn)

    Cracking goal from the Dons. Sam Cosgrove gets to the right byline, whips in a lovely inviting cross and Niall McGinn steers a right-foot volley into the bottom left corner.

  19. Perfect conditions?

    Aberdeen 0-0 Livingston

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

    A lousy night at Pittodrie, with the rain whirling in off the North Sea. The one positive though is it should make the ball zip about on a lush-looking Pittodrie pitch.

  20. Yellow card (Craig Halkett)

    Aberdeen 0-0 v Livingston

    Livi skipper Craig Halkett slides straight through Aberdeen right-back Shay Logan out on the right touchline, and that's an obvious yellow.
