Jamie Langfield believes St Mirren’s clash with Livingston today is “crucial” - despite Jim Goodwin’s switch to Aberdeen stealing the headlines in the build-up.
The Buddies go into this afternoon’s trip to West Lothian knowing a win could propel them as high as fourth in the Premiership table.
A loss meanwhile could see them slip down to ninth spot, with Langfield determined to keep the Saints on track for the top six in Goodwin’s absence after he accepted the Dons offer to replace Stephen Glass at Pittodrie.
