Livingston take on Dumbfermline today, hoping to shove it right into the ugly ones from the other side of the bridge. Jim Leishman has been spotted in the filthy town centre, reportedly “quaking in his boots” at the thought of Livingston’s arrival. The Dumbfermline gaffer said “I’ll greet if we get beat” before babbling on, trying to be a poet, concentrate on Football ya big hairy diddy.
The Lions have no injury worries for today, and Livi manager Paul Lambert has yet again refused to name himself in the squad, claiming that there is better players than himself in the midfield.
The Pars(e) have several injury worries, but who cares!
History of the Dunfermline Athletic v Livingston fixture
