  1. Ambitious from Obileyepublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    If that Ayo Obileye shot is not a meme by the end of the night, Scottish football Twitter isn't doing it right for once.

    The centre-back is having a chuckle to himself about it now. A fine clearance, mind you.

  2. YELLOW CARD Doyle-Hayes (Hibernian)published at 20:59 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Not for the first time, Jake Doyle-Hayes is caught out by the pace of the game and his lazy challenge upends Stephane Omeonga.

  3. Postpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    More worries at the back for Hibs as Ryan Porteous undercooks a pass-back to goalie Matt Macey and Paul Hanlon comes to the rescue, getting to the ball before Alan Forrest and hammering it behind.

  4. Postpublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Livingston come streaming forward on the counter-attack and there's the unlikely sight of Scott Allan making a crucial sliding clearance in his own six yard box.

    Hibs are showing more composure already. There's less pressure on Nisbet now with the changes made. It'll do them the world of good to get hold of the ball.

  6. YELLOW CARD Penrice (Livingston)published at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    James Penrice slides into Martin Boyle and crunches the Hibs winger on the ankle. Ouch!

  7. YELLOW CARD Omeonga (Livingston)published at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Stephane Omeonga leaves one on Ryan Porteous and referee Don Robertson allows play to flow for a while before booking the Livingston midfielder, who hasn't half been putting himself about against his former club.

    Here we go for the second half...

  9. Obileye on for Parkespublished at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    A change for Livingston as well, with Ayo Obileye taking over from the injured Tom Parkes in central defence.

  10. Hibs send for Allan & Doidgepublished at 20:47 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    HT: Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs have been flustered since missing that penalty and manager Jack Ross is preparing to bring on Scott Allan and Christian Doidge.

    We think Jamie Murphy and Josh Campbell are the men going off.

    I think David Martindale has looked at Kevin Nisbet and thought they could bully him. They've allow him to be passed to knowing his touch won't be good enough. He isn't holding it in at all, he's been very timid.

    Every single ball that drops Livingston are first to it. They've forced Hibs into long balls and Omeonga is picking up every second ball, every scrap.

    Livingston's press has been far more successful than Hibs' building-up play from the back. I think Hibernian have been bullied in the middle of the park.

    Livingston are setting traps all over the pitch and everyone knows what to do. They're shutting off all Hibs' avenues forward.

    When you have a poor run with no clean sheets like Hibs have, it becomes ever harder as teams start to target your box more. Livingston are doing it well tonight.

  16. HALF-TIME Livingston 1-0 Hibernianpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Jack McMillan's goal separates the sides and Livingston are scrapping hard to protect their lead.

    Hibs had the perfect opportunity to equalise immediately but Martin Boyle blazed a soft penalty over the top.

    Livingston goalscorer Jack McMillan makes an important interception in his own penalty box, cutting out a low cross from Paul McGinn.

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Another Hibs player is down in the penalty area and this time it's Kevin Nisbet who is flattened as James Penrice makes a strong clearing challenge.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:26 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Hibs are looking for another penalty as Jack Fitzwater goes through the back of Josh Campbell.

    It certainly looked more of a penalty than the one given, that's for sure.

  20. Postpublished at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Kevin Nisbet has time to look up as he faces the Livingston penalty area 25 yards out but the Hibs striker is quickly closed down and his shot is blocked.
