Greenock Morton 2 : 1 Livingston - Macdonald keeps his cool
Posted Saturday, August 13, 2011 by PA
Peter MacDonald's second-half penalty gave Morton a 2-1 win over Livingston, maintaining the Ton's unbeaten start to the season.
Morton started the game the brighter and scored after just nine minutes when Michael Tidser's 25-yard effort beat the outstretched Livi goalkeeper Andrew McNeil.
The Ton hadn't conceded this season before coming into this game but they were finally breached in the 55th minute.
Paul Di Giacomo hauled down Jason Talbot inside the area and Iain Russell, who notched 23 league goals last term, coolly converted.
Keaghan Jacobs then spurned a glorious chance to put Livi ahead shortly afterwards, but volleyed wide from six yards out.
MacDonald stepped up to net from the spot in the 64th minute when goalscorer Tidser was fouled by David Sinclair.
Rory Boulding should have grabbed an equaliser for Livingston right at the death but he crashed a close-range volley past the post.
