Livingston vs Queen of South preview - Fotheringham out for Livi

Livingston will be without midfielder Mark Fotheringham against visitors Queen of the South through suspension.

Full-back Jason Talbot is in line to return after a month out to assist Bollan's aims.

Manager Gary Bollan is determined his men start making their Braidwood Motor Company Stadium a place to be feared again.

"We had a long unbeaten run at home that went in November and since then we have lost another couple of games," he said.

"I am looking for us to start a new unbeaten record by defeating Queen of the South although it is not just a case of turning up and a new record starting.

"We will have to scrap for everything against a hard working side that have done well recently."

Queen of the South are again missing strikers Kevin Smith and Marc McCusker.

Smith has a groin problem while McCusker is struggling with a hip injury and both men continue to miss out.

The Doonhamers sent Partick out of the Scottish Cup before holding league leaders Ross County to a goalless draw and manager Gus McPherson is looking for his men to build on that in West Lothian.

McPherson said: "Our confidence levels have increased after the last couple of games but we will not be getting carried away as there is a lot of hard work ahead.

"Our last game at Livingston was a great one although it ended in a draw after we were two up. A win this time would be great."
