Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Hearts signalled Livingston's 19th game in a row without a victory, leaving them rooted to the foot of the Scottish Premiership. Tuesday's visitors to Almondvale are 10th-placed St Mirren, who were unbeaten in five, including a win over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final, and after defeats to Rangers and Motherwell, will see this match as a chance to return to winning ways.

Their 1-0 defeat at Almondvale in February 2024 was the Bairns' only reverse in 14 league games against Livi, and Stephen Robinson's side can take all three points and move above Dundee and into ninth.

Team News

Livingston have already signed Emmanuel Danso and Joshua Zimmerman this winter and both could again feature on Tuesday after each playing the last 18 minutes off the bench in the loss to Hearts.

Adam Montgomery, Aidan Denholm and Shane Blaney are absent, while Cristian Montano is a doubt after coming off injured at Tynecastle.

St Mirren remain without Jonah Ayunga and Keanu Baccus, and Mikael Mandron is likely to continue alongside Dan N'Lundulu in attack.

St Mirren to win @ 13/8

St Mirren were always likely to experience a drop off after winning the Scottish League Cup on December 14, but that victory over Celtic at Hampden Park came in the middle of their five-game unbeaten run.

That ended with a 2-1 defeat at Rangers, but their loss came with caveats.

Marcus Fraser missed a penalty at Ibrox before Mandron got his team on the board, albeit his strike proved too little too late.

Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Motherwell was more clear-cut, Robinson's side only managing an XG of 0.29 at Fir Park.

Tuesday's match is their third away fixture on the bounce and the Bairns can end their road stint with a victory at Almondvale.

Livi chairman Calvin Ford insists that Martindale has his "full support" and should the club be relegated, the 51-year-old has already shown he can lead them back from the Championship, doing so following their demotion in 2024.

However, after almost five months without a win, it is tough to see where Livi's break will come and St Mirren should take advantage of their lack of confidence.

Robinson's future is also in question following links to the Aberdeen vacancy, but his focus will be on Tuesday and the Bairns, 1-0 winners when these two met on December 20, look a good bet to succeed at Almondvale.
