Aberdeen V Livingston

Last updated : 28 August 2004 By Dov

We’ve been looking for the latest team news, but at the mo, there doesn’t seem to be any. The official site should have details on it regarding team news, but there’s nothing at 16:34 on a Friday regarding the player’s fitness, a sorry state of affairs. The Aberdeen website reports that one of their new players coming in is former Livingston forward, Fernando Pasquinelli.

He could be poised to make his competitive debut, meaning it could be possible that Livi could face three of their former team-mates as Steve Tosh and Michael Hart are also in the frame for a starting spot. One player who won't be playing is last week's Dunfermline goal here, Noel Whelan. He once again misses out with an Achilles problem, joining Chris Clark and Darren Mackie on the treatment table.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Livingston are in a sorry state of late on their travels, though the Mad panel can see them coming away from Pittodrie Stadium with a well-deserved point. Score draw
