Ten-man St Mirren went third after Alex Grieve's injury time winner gave Stephen Robinson’s men all three points against David Martindale’s Livingston, who were by far the better team. Keanu Baccus scored the opener which was quickly cancelled out by Bruce Anderson before the crucial winner.
Both teams came into the game level on 12 points and in fourth and fifth place respectively, with Saints pulling off a shock a 2-0 victory over Celtic and Livi beating Kilmarnock 1-0, in impressive starts to the campaign before the international break. Robinson made two changes with Gogic and Kiltie replacing Main and Strain from the lineup which beat the champions, meanwhile Livi’s match winner Montano dropped out from the win against Kilmarnock being replaced by Penrice.
A fairly blustery opening 10 minutes went by with little happening before a shot just wide for the visitors by Dylan Bahamboula, which was followed by a series of free kicks and corners.
