Livingston travel to take on Hamilton Academical at New Douglas Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 15 games played, Livi have recorded 3 wins, and Hamilton Ac. have come away with 6 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Hamilton Ac. was back in May 1997, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Two match.
