FootyMAD's Livingston match preview

History of the St. Johnstone v Livingston fixture

St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Livingston at McDiarmid Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 15 previous games, with the Saints winning just 6.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a Scottish Division One match.
