Livingston vs Peterhead preview - Duo doubtful for leaders

Posted Tuesday, March 29, 2011 by PA

Defender David Cowan and midfielder Keaghan Jacobs are doubtful for Livingston`s top-versus-bottom encounter with Peterhead.

Both men will face late fitness tests, which is more than can be said for long-term absentees Cameron MacDonald and Bobby Bar, who remain sidelined.

Livi may already have been branded with the champions-in-waiting tag, but manager Gary Bollan has urged his troops to take things one thing at a time.

Bollan said: "It was the same last season in Third Division and then we just looked forward to the next game and nothing else. There will be no talk about titles or champions until all the maths have been sorted out.

"Peterhead beat us the last time we met and that is warning enough."

Recently-appointed Peterhead boss John Sheran is hampered by defender Daniel Moore, who has a knock, being doubtful, while full-back David Donald is suspended following his late red card against Alloa at the weekend.

The Balmoor men remain four points adrift of safety at the foot of the table.

Sheran said: "If we can take the form that we showed in the second half at Recreation Park into this game we will do okay against Livingston and throughout the rest of the season.

"We know now that we have to concentrate on our own results going forward and not look for any favours elsewhere."
