Match report
Subs make a point These two sides grew up together over the years and shared a keenly contested rivalry since 1995 when Livi taught us a harsh lesson in a 3-0 defeat at Telford Street Park. Welcome to the big boys League. That was Livingston's first league game after their name change from Meadowbank Thistle and they dominated it with their pace and class.

Subs make a point
These two sides grew up together over the years and shared a keenly contested rivalry since 1995 when Livi taught us a harsh lesson in a 3-0 defeat at Telford Street Park. Welcome to the big boys League. That was Livingston's first league game after their name change from Meadowbank Thistle and they dominated it with their pace and class. It only took 3 minutes to open the scoring when Lee Baillie headed home and he scored twice with OG getting the other. Over the years we gradually got the better of Livi and the H2H stats are leaning towards the Caley Jags, probably thanks to only one defeat over our last ten meetings.
Back to the future and today saw Inverness have two new signings on the bench, Layton Stewart and Junior Osong, which will give us more depth We looked unchanged from our 3-1 win at Ayr. David Martindale was still in the dugout for Livi and they were also unchanged from the side that beat Morton 4-1 last weekend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How the points were won.
A Kabongolo header in the twenty-fourth minute put Livi in front soon after Longstaff was denied by Jerome Prior in the home net. Should have been two before the break had van Hoeven not missed the ball from five yards out. Inverness equalised through a debut goal from substitute Layton Stewart and fellow sub Alfie Bavidge fired us ahead. Alas that lead only lasted three minutes before Robbie Muirhead ended the scoring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The game:
Underway at Almondvale and it was the visitors that forced the first corner but the short ball was cleared easily. The first effort came from the hosts but Robbie Muirhead shot over from inside the box. Tyrese Sinclair was next to miss the target as Livi played on the front foot with van Hoeven involved in most things. At the other end Alfie Stewart shot wide after sloppy play by Livi and keeper Jerome Prior then denied Luis Longstaff in the bottom corner after a quick break forward. However it was the hosts that opened the scoring through a Kabongolo header in the twenty-fourth minute from Sinclair's free kick on the left. Inverness responded with an effort by Liam Sole from outside the box which the keeper dealt with comfortably. van Hoeven missed a huge chance just before the break to add a second as he appeared to fresh air from five yards. Livi as the hosts with the bulk of possession but only one goal to show for it at the break
HALF TIME: 1-0
No changes at the break for either side and Sole had a pop at goal from inside the box but he was blocked by Kabongolo. That would be Sole's last involvement as was went off injured to be replaced by new signing Layton Stewart who brought out another great save from Prior after namesake Alfie drove forward to feed him. He would do slightly better two minutes later for a debut goal to level the game from a Paul Allan assist. The substitutions were working a treat and no sooner was Alfie Bavidge on the park than he fired one into the top corner. Unfortunately the lead only lasted three minutes before Robbie Muirhead fired a Stevie May cut-back low into the net from around twelve yards. A couple of half chances thereafter and a few bookings but it ended all square.
FULL TIME: 2-2
