  2. Killie lost 'absolutely awful' goalspublished at 22:30 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    FT: Kilmarnock 2-3 Livingston

    Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "We were really fortunate. I don't think our performance was good enough and we were fortunate to go into the break ahead. They were two good set plays, it has to be said. That pleased me but there wasn't a lot else from the performance that I liked.

    "I wanted more responsibility. We spoke at half-time about making sure we were far more physical. When you play Livingston, you have to fight them, you have to scrap them and match their work-rate. They're terrific at what they do, they really are.

    "We didn't need to be brilliant, we just needed to show more composure and more knowhow. I thought all three goals, at this level, were absolutely awful."

  3. 'Soft underbelly' too evident for Johnsonpublished at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    FT: Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernian

    Hibernian head coach Lee Johnson tells BBC Scotland: "Anger and frustration [are my overriding emotions]. We came here with good intentions to play forward, to win the game, to counter well and I thought we did that really well for 45 minutes until the injury time that led to the penalty.

    "It was difficult for me as I didn’t feel like it was absolutely clear and obvious. It took an age to get through and if it takes that long then it's probably not. I suppose I'm bad in that sense.

    "Then a very disappointing second and third goal, and that’s down to us, my team and myself because we weren't physically strong enough or switched on enough in the box.

    "The players can come in and hold their hands up, which they do; which means they’re honest but it’s not good enough - we’ve got to win football matches. It’s a club with prestige, it’s a club that expects to be up there and those soft underbelly tones are not good- enough."

  4. 'Huge three points'published at 22:16 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    FT: Kilmarnock 2-3 Livingston

    Livingston boss David Martindale tells BBC Scotland: "It's a huge three points. We knew the threats that Killie would pose, we spoke a lot about set plays. I'm really disappointed to lose the two goals in that manner.

    "But I've got to give the boys huge credit, we came back from behind twice and it was a fantastic goal from wee Brucie [Anderson]. And I know it was an own goal, but we work that pattern of play in training and wee Brucie won the turnover.

    "I was delighted with the boys. Kilmarnock have now only lost two in 12 at home so that shows you how hard it is to pick points up here. That's the first game we've won since going behind, so that's massive too.

    "The work ethic throughout the club, not just the players, is phenomenal. It's a given that every game, the boys will give me everything they've got."

  5. 'I'd have taken a scrappy 1-0'published at 22:15 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    FT: Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernian

    Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: “We’re all delighted with the final result, I think that’s what matters most in these big games.

    “I didn’t think there was much between these teams pre-match, the scoreline may suggest we were well on top and gave Hibs a tough time but people at the game will realise it was a lot closer than the scoreline would suggest.

    “All in all you’ve got to be pleased. I’d have taken a scrappy 1-0 before the game so the fact we’ve been able to entertain the fans and score four goals, I don't know the exact number but I know we’ve scored a considerable amount here, I’m delighted to go and entertain the fans again tonight.”

    On his side’s first-half penalty, he adds: “There will be plenty of controversy and plenty of opinion around the decision, but for me, that’s why we’ve brought VAR in.

    "Sometimes they go for you, sometimes they go against you but thankfully this evening that decision has gone in our favour. The first goal in tight fixtures like this always has so much riding on it.”

    You want to give the fans what they want and if they want Friday night football then bring it on. Certainly at Aberdeen they have embraced it

    Individual errors have cost Kilmarnock tonight and Derek McInnes will be concerned. They will need to take points from their next couple of games before the break

    Aberdeen in the second half definitely deserved to win but I think the game flipped on the VAR decision. I don't think there is any doubt about that

    What a crucial win this might be for Livingston when they look back in a few months.

    When they conceded early, with Kilmarnock's recent home record, they may have struggled with the threat of Killie closing in behind them in the table.

    Now they lie sixth and have put themselves in a nice position with just two games left until the break.

    For Kilmarnock, home fans weren't happy with this display. The trip to Dundee United midweek now takes on extra significance.

  16. FULL-TIME Kilmarnock 2-3 Livingstonpublished at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    A night to forget for Chris Stokes as Livingston fight back twice from behind to secure victory at Rugby Park.

    Two goals from unlikely source Joe Wright put Kilmarnock ahead at either end of the first half, with Bruce Anderson briefly restoring parity with a long-range piledriver.

    But, Sean Kelly's second-half penalty punished Stokes' handball before the defender sliced into his own net to put Livingston ahead for the first time.

    Livingston are lifted to sixth, three points off third place, whilst Kilmarnock remain 10th, three points off bottom.

    Kilmarnock 2-3 Livingston

    Kilmarnock throwing the kitchen sink at Livingston, who have been by far the better team since they went ahead.

    That said, Stephane Omeonga has gone into the book. Meanwhile, Shamal George is down receiving treatment. Not good news for the Livi fans.

  19. FULL-TIME Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernianpublished at 21:32 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2022

    An impressive Aberdeen display allows them to leapfrog tonight's opponents into third place in the Scottish Premiership.

    Bojan Miovski's double either side of half-time started the goals off this evening.

    Impressive strikes from Ylber Ramadani and Leighton Clarkson bookmarked Hibs' sole goal on the contest from Mykola Kukharevych.

    VAR is likely to dominate some of the post-match chat, after two notably lengthy interventions, but Aberdeen's football deserves praise this evening. Hibs' defending on the other hand was woeful.

    Almost another for Livingston as Stephane Omeonga breaks forward, but his deflected 30-yard effort trickles inches wide of the post.

    Plenty of Killie changes to bring you as well - Blair Alston, Lewis Mayo, Oli Shaw and Liam Polworth are all on.

    Dylan Bahamboula and Bruce Anderson are off for Livi. Andrew Shinnie and Jason Holt come on.
