Hibs start their 3 pre-Christmas game schedule with a trip to Livingston. Each one is definitely winnable and could get us inching up the table. As it's just along the road, there should be a big turn-out of Hibs fans.

They'll be there to celebrate 3 points gained and a chance to keep Livi down at the bottom of the table. Livi have lost their 6 previous games and haven't scored in the last 5. We must be alert and composed and let our speed merchants strut their stuff.

Monty on the game
“We know it will be a tough game away at Livingston. They are a well-organised, physical side that will be difficult to beat. We expect them to fight for everything. They are on their own pitch at home, which they are used to playing on. For us, there are no excuses - we have trained on the synthetic this week due to the snow earlier in the week. It is a tough game for us, but we know we have a good crowd coming down to support us which we are all really grateful for.”

I've not seen any of the game yet, so I'll leave it to Monty

“We knew it would be a real battle. You can see the conditions, the wind, the rain swirling around, and Livingston really fight for Davie (Martindale). They’re a competitive team, really physical and they know what they’re good at. They caused us problems with the long throws into the box and direct balls, but we defended really well.
Go back five or six weeks there were periods where we conceded late goals and that can play on your mind, but we’ve worked hard on that, and in the last few weeks we’ve seen a good couple of clean sheets.
It was a real team performance today; the boys that came on, the boys on the bench, the staff. Everyone enjoyed that win. You can see the camaraderie and team spirit in the group, and we will enjoy that win because it’s not easy coming here.”
