Time is running out for St Mirren as Livingston win a free-kick deep inside the Buddies' half.

St Mirren are bombarding the Livi penalty box.

Substitute Jack Fitzwater makes a fine headed intervention then Joe Shaughnessy rises to head wide from the resulting corner.

Yet another defensive change for Livingston as midfielder Craig Sibbald is replaced with Jackson Longridge, the left-back who has returned to the club from Bradford City.

Kristian Dennis has a chance to make his mark almost immediately, but the former Notts County striker fires low and straight at goalkeeper Max Stryjek.

St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin makes a change up front, bringing on Kristian Dennis for Scotland international Eamonn Brophy.

Counterpart David Martindale looks to protect that lead, sending on defender Jack Fitzwater in place of striker and goalscorer Scott Robinson.

Balls are flung dangerously into both six-yard boxes before being cleared, first by Livi then Kyle McAllister hesitates when he has a scoring chance at the other end.

Jon Obika is the focus of everything at the moment for St Mirren.

The striker is found by Kyle McAllister's cross, but his header is killed by his own shoulder and is easily held by goalkeeper Max Stryjek.

St Mirren sub Jon Obika leaves Julien Serrano bemused by a neat bit of footwork before crumbling inside the penalty box.

The striker is expecting the referee to point to the penalty spot but instead receives a booking for diving.

A bit unfortunate there as it looks like he was clipped.

Efe Ambrose should have scored in the first half and was relieved to see his header off the bar turned in by Scott Robinson.

This time, the centre-half has no such luck as he heads wastefully over from a free-kick.

Livingston boss David Martindale responds to the St Mirren changes by sending on recent signing Gavin Reilly on for fellow forward Josh Mullin.

Striker Jon Obika and winger İlkay Durmuş are thrown on for midfield pair Cammy MacPherson and Brandon Mason as St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin makes an attacking change.

Jamie McGrath has to clear in front of his goal as Livingston take their turn to cause panic in the opposition penalty box as St Mirren manager prepares to make a double change.

Scott Pittman goes into the referee's book for a sliding challenge on St Mirren's Marcus Fraser.

St Mirren are starting to exert more and more pressure, but so far the closest they have come was Conor McCarthy's header that was cleared off the line by Craig Sibbald.

No surprise that Jim Goodwin makes the first change, with Kyle McAllister replaces Dylan Connolly in midfield.

The Irishman had been booked a few minutes ago for a foul on Jason Holt, so maybe that is the reason for the change as much as tactics.

It's end-to-end stuff now and St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick has to tip over a Josh Mullin cross that looks to be heading for goal after taking a wicked deflection.
