    McGinn caused himself a problem there by not just getting rid of the ball, instead, he tries to take a touch,

  2. RED CARD McGinn (Hibernian)published at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    A bad night for Hibs gets a bit worse as Paul McGinn gets a second booking for a tug at Cristiano Montero after a poor touch.

    A lot of visiting fans take that as there cue to leave...

    David Martindale is telling everyone in the stadium! The wee Livingston manager has been screaming his lungs out on the touchline all night.

    David Martindale will now be thinking, and telling his players, don't concede rather than scoring again.

    Alan Forrest is still full of running and Paul McGinn has to work hard to stick with the livewire Livi winger before conceding a corner.

    Meanwhile, Ryan Porteous limps off to be replaced by Darren McGregor.

    As he is prone to, Ryan Porteous goes down in a heap from a Hibs corner rather than trying to attack the ball. A low shot from Martin Boyle is then snaffled up by goalkeeper Max Stryjek at his near post.

    All I'm saying is thank God I'm not playing. Just look how fast Montano is on the counter-attack. He breezed past about five or six players with ease there. Wow!

    Cristian Montero is off and running, leaving a pile of Hibs defenders in his wake but he stands on the ball just as he gets to the penalty area. Alan Forrest follows up but his deflected shot flies high over the top.

    There's a lot to be said about Hibs' dire defending, but Livingston winger Alan Forrest has been outstanding in this second half.

    The forward has given the away defence an absolute nightmare and the home side look the more likely.

    Hibs still yet to have a second-half shot on target.

    Jason Holt's desire to win the ball back, his application, is something the other Livi players will feed off. It's amazing to watch.

    Hibs substitute Christian Doidge has not played much football this season after an Achilles rupture and the big striker doesn't look anywhere near it. He's hardly had a kick.

    Montano does everything right bar the execution. The game has started getting stretched now.

  13. CLOSE!published at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs defender Ryan Porteous is all over the place from a long ball over the top and Cristian Montano is in behind. His lob clears the advancing Matt Macey but just drifts wide of the far post.

  14. Pittman returns for Livipublished at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Scott Pittman, back from an injury, is coming on for Livingston goalscorer Jack McMillan.

    Hanlon has no idea where Shinnie was, his eyes are focused on the ball. But, he nearly catches him neck high.

    I think he is very lucky to stay on the pitch. For me, he's the last man.

  17. YELLOW CARD Hanlon (Hibernian)published at 21:06 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs skipper Paul Hanlon has had a bit of a night to forget and now he's the latest player in Don Robertson's book as he wipes out Andrew Shinnie with a high boot near the edge of the box.

    The home players think the referee has got the colour of card wrong there.

    Livingston's work rate is incredible but you hope, for their sake, they don't run out of energy. They're putting so much into the game.

  19. Second change for Livipublished at 21:04 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Craig Sibbald is dripping with sweat as he trudges off to be replaced by Cristian Montano.

  20. Postpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Kevin Nisbet glances a header wide but Hibs are soon on the attack again and Martin Boyle cuts the ball back from the byeline for Scott Allan. However, the substitute gets his first-time shot all wrong, skying it over.
