Livingston vs Raith Rovers preview - Watson boost for Bollan
Posted Saturday, October 01, 2011 by PA
Livingston's Paul Watson will return to contention for the home clash with Raith, but Cammy MacDonald and Keaghan Jacobs are out.
Watson has served a one-match ban, while fellow defender MacDonald and attacking midfielder Jacobs are both sidelined through injury and David Sinclair remains a doubt.
Manager Gary Bollan has urged his players to show the same resilience they displayed last week against Partick Thistle.
Bollan said: "We didn't play our best football last week, but the boys stuck at their tasks and we grabbed a win.
"Raith Rovers will be extremely well organised and out to stop us imposing our game on them, so we'll have to show the same determined approach to take three points form this one."
Raith skipper Iain Davidson is poised for his first start in nearly two months.
Davidson has been sidelined with a medial knee ligament injury, but hopes to play some part for the Kirkcaldy men.
Goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw remains sidelined due to a knock, but manager John McGlynn expects everyone else in his squad to be available.
McGlynn said: "We only have a small squad, so having Iain available again is a boost.
"Livingston have adapted to the First Division very well and are quite rightly very proud of a long run of games without getting beaten at home.
"Being the team that ends that run gives us a bit more motivation, but we'll need to really roll our sleeves up if we want to do anything."
