Livingston vs Brechin - Morgyn Neill banned for Livingston

Livingston are without the suspended Morgyn Neill as they look to maintain their encouraging run of form against leaders Brechin.

Neill is the only absentee for boss David Hopkin who wants his side to capitalise on last weekend's excellent win at Alloa.

Hopkin said: "We put on a terrific display to win at Alloa last weekend and the challenge for the players is to play with the same pace and intensity in this game.

"Brechin will be difficult opponents but if we play like we did last Saturday then we have a great chance of winning and potentially topping the table ourselves."

Brechin go into game boosted by the return of Alan Trouten following a groin injury.

And Paddy O'Neil is set to start in goal for the first time this season with regular number one Chris Smith struggling with a hip injury.

Player-boss Darren Dods said: "At this stage last season we didn't have any points so where we are now feels much better.

"We showed that we have a mental toughness that we didn't have last year. We will need that mental toughness to be in place against Livingston."
