The second round of the Scottish Premiership fixtures kickstarts the weekend. Livingstone will be playing host to side Hibernian in a heated contest to proceed to the next round. The match schedules for Saturday at the Alderstone Road with kickoff at 5 pm.
Livingston will be looking to overturn their opening day 1-0 defeat to St. Mirren. However, it is a different case for the hosts who enjoyed the opening day 2-1 win over Kilmarnock last Saturday.
Livingston started their pre-friendly campaign with three consecutive wins. Fans were shocked when the side fell to a 1-0 defeat against St. Mirren, who ended their 2019/20 campaign at the bottom half of the table.
Gary Holt will be looking to overturn a shaky start to the campaign this weekend. The side had an impressive previous campaign managing to finish top five in the league. The side has enough time to shake off the defeat and managed to register another impressive season in Scottish top flight.
Jack Ross started the season on the right note, having picked all three points. Their opponents were unable to pull through a draw after suffering an early strike. The side will be looking to maintain a top-six finish in the league as they head to the Alderstone Road.
