East Fife vs Livingston preview - Hamilton boost against Robertson's old side
Posted Tuesday, January 18, 2011 by PA
East Fife include new signing Jim Hamilton in their squad for the visit of manager John Robertson's former Livingston side as the Fifers get back to league affairs for the first time since December 11, but miss defender Steven Campbell through injury.
East Fife's last league match was a 6-0 romp over Stenhousemuir that lifted Robertson's men to sixth in the table, however the over 5 week period of inactivity has seen the New Bayview club slip back down to eighth spot.
A cup tie against Aberdeen on January 8 produced a 6-0 scoreline for the Dons with Robertson saying: "We are hopefully better prepared than we were when we went to Pittodrie, however Livingston are travelling here on the back of a bad result and that makes them very difficult opponents."
Livingston, who could go back to the top of the table with a win, could be without four players for the game.
Striker Robbie Winters is automatically banned following his sending off against Peterhead at the weekend, with defender Cameron MacDonald and striker Marc McNulty both ruled out through injury.
Craig Barr will be available if he shakes off the knock that kept him out against the Blue Toon on Saturday when the Lions went down 3-0.
Manager Gary Bollan said: "Saturday's performance and defeat at Peterhead is history now and we have to go out and make amends against East Fife.
"We have to put that behind us and go out to ensure that we turn our possession into goals and keep things tighter at the back."
