Livingston lead through Alan Forrest's strike that came slightly against the run of play.
St Mirren will be rueing Eamonn Brophy's failure to convert a golden chance to equalise shortly before the break.
It's goalless at the break in a fairly even first half at Dens Park.
Motherwell's Connor Shields came closest to opening the scoring when he struck the frame of the home goal.
All to play for in the second half for a place in the League Cup last eight.
All square at the break, with the Championship side more than holding their own.
Livingston 1-0 St Mirren
Big chance for St Mirren to grab an immediate equaliser.
Eamonn Brophy races clear and has two goes at it, with Max Stryjek superbly foiling the striker who sends the rebound wide.
Alan Forrest
Livi break the deadlock with a lovely finish.
Jason Holt releases Alan Forrest, who checks back inside and rolls the ball beyond Jak Alnwick.

Quote MessageFor the first 15 minutes Dundee United were the better team, but Ayr have really grown into this game. Dundee United have become complacent, they're sloppy, and Ayr have been absolutely excellent.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
So close for Motherwell and Connor Shields, who rattles the crossbar.
Steven Lawless found the former Queen of the South on the break but the striker is left holding his head in frustration after smashing the frame of the goal with his shot.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
Motherwell left-back Jake Carroll whips a cross in for Juhani Ojala, but the debutant centre-back can't get his glancing header on target.
Ayr United 0-0 Dundee United
Ayr United forward Tomi Adeloye does well to control the ball on his chest but drags a shot wide of the target.
Ayr United 0-0 Dundee United

Quote MessageDundee United have lost their way a little bit, but you've got to credit Ayr United, they're working hard. But for Ayr, it irks me a little bit that each time they're playing the easy ball up front, you want to see a bit of quality
Livingston 0-0 St Mirren
St Mirren defender Charles Dunne has picked up a knock and can't continue, with Conor McCarthy taking his place.
Livingston 0-0 St Mirren
Greg Kiltie lets fly from distance and it takes a smart sprawling save from Max Stryjek to deny St Mirren the opener.
Eamonn Brophy is next to test the Livi keeper as the visitors turn up the pressure.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
Dundee are looking the more the likely as Christie Elliot is next to have a pop but again Liam Kelly is wise to it and saves comfortably.
Straight up the other end we go and Motherwell have their first attempt as Kaiyne Woolery feeds Connor Shields, who fires into the arms of Adam Legzdins.
Ayr United 0-0 Dundee United

Quote MessageAyr United are having a good spell. I think there's a bit of belief, it's spurring them on.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
First shot of the game as Dundee striker Jason Cummings gets the ball on target but 'Well keeper Liam Kelly gets down well to stop it.
Ayr United 0-0 Dundee United
Peter Pawlett sets up Ian Harkes and Ayr United's Aidan McAdams has to look lively to keep the low shot out.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
Dundee enjoy a decent spell of possession but there's not a great deal going on as we go beyond 15 minutes without a shot on goal for either side.
Livingston 0-0 St Mirren
Almost a debut goal for Livingston winger Odin Bailey, who sends a 20-yard effort whistling inches past the post.
