Livingston vs Ayr Utd. preview - Gray added to Livi party

Livingston have added winger Ross Gray to their squad to face Ayr after an impressive loan spell at Berwick.

Manager Gary Bollan also has the luxury of having three other strikers back in contention for a starting place.

Iain Russell has now returned to full fitness and he is scrapping it out for a starting jersey along with Mark McNulty, who has got over a knock he took last week at Raith, and Rory Boulding who is free of suspension.

The Lions lost their 19-month unbeaten home run in their last outing in West Lothian when Ross County plundered the points and manager Gary Bollan has told his men to build again.

He said: "We have the chance to start a new run against a tricky Ayr side."

Ayr will be missing Eddie Malone through suspension as they look to make it three wins in four away games.

Defender Martyn Campbell remains out after a knee operation with boss Brian Reid admitting it has been a frustrating fortnight after his side's 4-1 defeat by Queen of the South in their last outing.

Reid said: "We actually played really well that day and things were poised nicely at 1-1 until the double whammy of Eddie being sent off and conceding a penalty.

"We have been wanting to put things right ever since and while we know it will be hard against Livingston it would be great to return home with the three points."
