Livingston boss David Martindale named four changes to the Livi team that fell to a 3-1 defeat to Dundee United in West Lothian in their midweek match, before they lost by a sole goal to Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday afternoon. Jerome Prior stayed in goal. Cristian Montaño continued at left-back, with Brooklyn Kabongolo joining Ryan McGowan at the heart of the Lions defence at Danny Wilson's expense, with Dan Finlayson remaining at right-back. Macaulay Tait was ineligible against his parent club, so Mo Susoho joined Mo Sylla in front of the Livi back four. Connor McLennan joined Scott Pittman and Stevie May in support of the sole striker, replacing Lewis Smith. Jeremy Bokila dropped to the bench, as Tete Yengi lead the line against the league leaders.
