Livingston will be without defender David McNamee for Saturday's SPL visit of Motherwell. The Scotland international was stupidly dismissed in the goalless draw at Dundee last week.
But the good news is that Steven Boyack has recovered from a hip injury and defender Gus Bahoken has returned from France after family problems, although neither player is likely to feature
