St. Mirren vs Livingston preview - Webster set for Saints bow

Posted Saturday, August 29, 2015 by PA

Scotland defender Andy Webster could make his St Mirren debut against Livingston.

Lawrence Shankland is also added to Ian Murray's squad after joining on loan from Aberdeen and the Saints also have Keith Watson, Jordan Stewart and Scott Agnew available again after knocks. However, Stuart Carswell is out with an ankle injury.

St Mirren will look to get the better of the visitors just four days after an angry encounter saw the Lions progress in the Scottish League Cup after a 3-2 success.

Paisley boss Ian Murray said: "I am delighted to add a couple of bodies. Tuesday night's game has been and gone and there should be no hangover. We want to win the points more than prove a point."

Livingston's Danny Mullen is suspended following the crude challenge on Stewart that saw him dismissed in midweek.

Moses Druckell continues to be absent with a hamstring problem and Darren Cole is a doubt after being ill.

Lions manager Mark Burchill is also keen to move on from Tuesday night's ill-tempered affair.

He said: "They will make changes as I would imagine that Lawrence Shankland will play and Scott Agnew will feature. We will make changes so this is a brand new game and we will treat it as such.

"It is terrific that we have done so well in cup-ties, however it is time now to start getting points on board."
