Livingston vs Dumbarton preview - Livi bring in Boulding

Posted Friday, March 20, 2015 by PA

Livingston have signed Rory Boulding until the end of the season with the striker's second spell with the Lions expected to start against visitors Dumbarton.

Brad Donaldson (ankle) and Nejc Praprotnik (hamstring) are missing for Mark Burchill's side.

"We have played well in our last two games which were at Easter Road and then Ibrox," said Burchill. "We never got anything from the Hibs game but a very positive display against Rangers saw us get a point.

"If we are positive again then we have a great chance of defeating Dumbarton. There are only eight games to go and we have to start winning."

Dumbarton hope to have Jordan Kirkpatrick back following injury as they look to secure a fifth successive win in West Lothian.

David van Zanten remains out with a knee injury, with Lee Mair and Scott Linton doubtful as a result of knocks.

Manager Ian Murray said: "A win in this game brings survival in the Championship even closer for us. It would move us 17 points clear of Livingston and tick another game off.

"We would also like to make up for the 5-1 defeat they enjoyed at our place and the fact that we have a good record there means we can look forward to the game."
