Livingston held on for a narrow opening day win in the Premier Sports Cup, after Albion Rovers staged an unlikely comeback at Cliftonhill.
The Premiership side were 2-0 up and seemingly cruising inside the opening 20 minutes through Scott Pittman and Josh Mullin, and when sub Bruce Anderson bagged a third three minutes into the second half, it looked like they were cruising to a win.
However, debutants Ayrton Sonkur and Michael Paton reduced the arrears smashed the ball into the net when a Lewis Kidd free kick caused havoc in the Livi boss in 62 minutes, and eight minutes later Michael Paton met a Kidd cross on the half-volley to pull the deficit back to a goal.
