Saturday’s game was a close-run match with neither side being at their best.<\/p>\n

Livingston were first to threaten when a header from Nottingham came back off the crossbar. However, it was St Mirren who took the lead when a fine pass found Kiltie who broke into the box and crossed the ball which found its way into the net via Livingston’s Kelly.<\/p>\n

Saints Johan Ayunga playing his 1st game since January, due to injury\u00a0hit the bar with a header, Livingston did find the net again late in the 2nd half but again it was their own net and the goal was disallowed by VAR.<\/p>\n

The game finished 1 – 0 to St Mirren, the Buddies returned to winning ways, a result which keeps them in third place in the league.<\/p>\n

Sean Kelly’s first-half own goal means bottom club Livingston stay at the bottom of the table with a sixth straight defeat.<\/p>\n
