Livingston kept alive their hopes of a top six finish with a return to winning ways against St Johnstone as they picked up a 2-0 victory.
With Hibs having won the Edinburgh derby earlier in the day, the equation for the Tony Macaroni Arena outfit was simple - win to ensure their hopes continued into next week's final pre-split fixture away to Dundee United. Having picked up just one win in their last seven league clashes, that felt like no easy task but they duly turned in a display more reflective of their earlier form.
Cheered on by a bumper crowd thanks to over 4000 free tickets being handed out to the local community, Livi controlled the contest pretty much from the off and were rewarded with a brace of fine first-half goals. Bruce Anderson - recalled to the team - was instrumental in both goals with his clever pass sending Joel Nouble clear to slot home the opener on 23 minutes before the striker won the free-kick just before the interval that Stephen Kelly curled into the net.
