Livingston are now managed by Gareth Evans and sit fourth. Most Pars fans will not have paid much notice of the teams outside the top three but Livingston are not to be underestimated. They will have visions on closing the gap and will take heart from their home league win over the Pars in December albeit the Pars were reduced to ten men early on when Callum Morris saw red for his tackle on Stefan Scougall.
