Livingston v East Fife - MacDonald back for Livi

Posted Saturday, September 25, 2010 by PA

Livingston welcome back defender Cameron MacDonald to their squad to face East Fife following the face injury he sustained in the opening league game of the season against Alloa.

MacDonald's return has given Lions' manager Gary Bollan a full squad to pick from and he is looking for home comforts to inspire his men to a fifth win in five games.

He said: "Everyone is fit and raring to go and as we have not had a home game for a wee while now I am looking forward to playing on front of our own crowd again.

"East Fife have a great attacking threat and they like to play football on the ground, so it should be a really good game."

East Fife will be missing suspended striker Bobby Linn when they travel to West Lothian, following his sending off against Ayr United last week.

Fifers boss Stevie Crawford is looking for his side to put a disappointing day behind them by winning in West Lothian - they lost out to three penalties against Ayr.

He said: "I am glad I kept quiet last week as it was a very strange day.

"The first penalty was soft, the second was disappointing but the third decision was correct. We need to pick ourselves up and this is a great game to have to do that in.

"Livingston are firing on all cylinders so we need to be up for things from the very first whistle. We are going there looking for a win."
