  1. YELLOW CARD - McGinn (Hibernian)published at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Now Paul McGinn goes skiting into a wild challenge on James Penrice. Hibs are starting to look very frustrated.

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Livingston are first to all the midfield scraps at the moment and referee Don Robertson has a word with Jake Doyle-Hayes for a late lunge on Stephane Omeonga.

    The resultant free kick almost picks out Jack Fitzwater but the big defender can't quite get there.

  3. CLOSE!published at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Kevin Nisbet wins a free-kick as Tom Parkes grabs a hold of the Hibs striker. It's about 30 yards and the Scotland international curls his shot just wide.

    I think the keeper would have got there.

  4. Postpublished at 20:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Livingston terrier Stephane Omeonga somehow gets away with a rugby tackle on Josh Campbell near the halfway line.

    Soon after, he pops up on the left to swing in a great cross that is volleyed wide by Craig Sibbald.

    As soon as it goes over the bar Parkes went in and had a word with Nisbet and Boyle. That tells me it wasn't a penalty, the reaction from Parkes.

  6. Justice done?published at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston's fans and players will feel like justice has been done there.

    Martin Boyle was jinking about at such pace and any nick may have taken him down, but it certainly looked soft from a distance.

  7. MISSED PENALTYpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Martin Boyle thunders the spot-kick over the crossbar.

  8. PENALTY TO HIBERNIANpublished at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 1-0 Hibernian

    Martin Boyle goes down as he tries to profit from some hesitancy in the home defence. Tom Parkes is booked but it doesn't look like there was any real contact.

  9. 'Great finish'published at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    It's a great finish. He takes a brilliant first touch under pressure before it and then slots it home.

  10. goal

    GOAL Livingston 1-0 Hibernianpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Jack McMillan

    Hibs captain Paul Hanlon fails to cut out a long pass properly and the ball is fed in from the left for Jack McMillan to bring down, shrug off Jamie Murphy and tuck his shot away.

    Hibs come again and a Jamie Murphy cross in nodded on target by Kevin Nisbet, although it's a comfortable catch for Max Stryjek.

  12. Postpublished at 19:59 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 0-0 Hibernian

    Hibs have quite a height advantage and that causes problems from a corner as the visitors win two headers in succession and the second is cleared off the line, with goalkeeper Max Stryjek in no man's land.

  13. 'Campbell catching the eye'published at 19:56 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Josh Campbell is really catching the eye for Hibs so far.

    The 21-year-old is picking up great areas in his number 10 position and stringing together attacks.

    Encouraging stuff from the young midfielder.

  14. 'Livi's tactics working well'published at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    You can see what Livingston want to do on the attack. They create the space for a diagonal ball to a full-back and they quickly have players around them for the second phase.

  15. Postpublished at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 0-0 Hibernian

    Livingston captain Nicky Devlin powers forward from right-back and has a go but his shot is skewed wide.

  16. Postpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 0-0 Hibernian

    The ball is bobbling around inside the home penalty area but it won't fall for Joe Newell or Kevin Nisbet and Stephane Omeonga completes the clearance for Livingston.

    I can see why Hibs are conceding goals already. They're backing off players and letting them into the box.

  18. Postpublished at 19:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 0-0 Hibernian

    An awkward interception from Hibs skipper Paul Hanlon sends Alan Forrest's cross high up into the air, but goalkeeper Matt Macey is right underneath it.

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Livingston 0-0 Hibernian

    A peep of the whistle from referee Don Robertson and away we go.

    Big Bad Don has dished out 34 yellow cards in eight Premiership games so far.

  20. Back five for Livi?published at 19:44 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2021

    Jack McMillan, Nicky Devlin, Jack Fitzwater, Tom Parkes and James Penrice are all being put through their paces by Livingston assistant manager Marvin Bartley.

    With all five of them warming up together, makes you think the hosts might be going with a back five tonight to deal with Hibs' frontline.
