Livingston vs Queen of South preview - Cole in Livi fold again

Posted Friday, May 01, 2015 by PA

Livingston can add Darren Cole to their squad following suspension as they look for the win over Queen of the South that could keep them safe in the Championship for another season.

If the Lions pick up the three points and relegation rivals Alloa and Cowdenbeath draw then they will have completed a remarkable turnaround, although manager Mark Burchill is not getting over excited.

The former Scotland striker said: "I will not be looking at any other result until I know what we have done.

"We have been playing well but we need to get a win against a good Queen of the South side before we can even think about anything else."

Queen of the South have former Livingston striker Iain Russell back in their ranks after he got the all clear having suffered a concussion in last weekend's win over Dumbarton.

Missing for the Doonhamers are Chris Mitchell (toe) and Paul Burns (hip), with manager James Fowler looking to head into the play-offs on a high.

Fowler said: "I am looking for a good performance and a win to set us up for the challenges we face in the play-offs.

"Livingston have plenty to play for and have been tough opponents for us all season but I want us to keep showing what a good side we are."
