Max kept another clean sheet in Livingston's 0-3 win over Hibs at Easter Road.
That's their 9th win in their last 10 games in all competitions and means that Livingston are now up to 5th in the Premiership with a home tie against bottom club Ross County on Saturday.

Interestingly enough Hakeem was at Livingston last season, but left to join Hamilton in July, while another former Eastleigh player Luke Southwood played for Hamilton last seaso,
On the subject of for,er Eastleigh players it was Luke Wilkinson who scored the injury time winner for Yeovil against Torquay yesterday.

3-1 win over Ross County, that's the 6th win in a row in the Premier League. Up to 5th in the League - just Hibs, Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers above Livingston.

I think that they finished 5th last season with the only difference being that Hibernian and not Motherwell are one of the clubs above them.
It is good to see clubs such as Livingston who I think were formerly known as Meadowbank Thistle, Ross County and Inverness Caledonian Thistle having time in the Scottish Premier League as I can recall them all being non-league clubs and when the top flight of Scottish football had 18 teams many of the newly promoted teams went straight down again.

Livingston's history goes back to WW2 when the football club was the works team of the Ferranti Engineering Company playing in Edinburgh Amateur leagues. They entered Senior football in 1953 when they started to play in the East of Scotland League.
As Ferranti Thistle they moved to the City Park ground in 1969, the former home of Edinburgh City, a Scottish league club in the 1930s and 1940s. They moved out in 1974 when they were elected to the Scottish league and became Meadowbank Thistle.
City Park became home to Spartans FC and I used to watch their games at the old City Park in the 1980s in what is now the Lowland League. Sadly the ground is no more and a supermarket now sits on the site.

I can recall Ferranti Thistle playing in the Scottish F A Cup which was the first I heard of the club. The only club who have played in senior Scottish football and whose ground I have visited is Gretna. At the time I thought it unusual at the time that Gretna was in Scotland and yet their football team played in the English pyramid and Berwick is in England and yet their football team played in the Scottish League. Berwick though did make a name for themselves many years ago when they beat Glasgow Rangers in the Scottish Cup.
A lot of teams in the current Scottish League have been in the competition for a long time even the era when the top Division had 18 clubs without being promoted so I think that Livingston, Ross County and Inverness Caledonian Thistle have done well. When as non-league team Elgin City reached the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup I thought that they would be well equipped to play in senior Scottish football, but when much later they were promoted they have never progressed beyond Scottish League Division 2.

Even H&WFC could beat Celtic, especially without fans.

I clearly agree that Celti's trip to Dubai wrong, but I think that they are paying the penalty by so many players having to self-isolate which meant they had to field a very weakened team as did Derby the previous week.. However there have been cases where matches are cancelled when one player gets covid and cases where only the player who gets covid has to self-isolate so I hope each case is being treated on its' own merits.
I also do not agree with players hugging each other when a goal is scored and am pleased that this being clamping down on this. Surely players can show delight at the goal being scored without getting too close to each other. A lot of people have made great sacrifices to minimise their contact with others and whereas I accept football is a contact sport seeing pictures of well paid footballers doing the opposite should not in my view be encouraged.
Although my views on their current situation are not affected by this I will always being remember Celtic being the first British team to win the European Cup and in doing so ending the domination of the competition by Real Madrid, Benfica and the Milan teams. At the time of their success Italian teams had a habit of going 1-0 up and holding on to the lead witth the result that the rest of the game was not much of a spectacle. However on this occasion Celtic scored twice after Inter Milan had taken an early lead.

Another clean sheet for Max this afternoon against St Mirren and Livingston are in the final of the Scottish League Cup against St Johnstone on 28 Feb. Only issue is Max appears to have been hurt in the last couple of minutes and may miss the next league game or two.

I am sure it will not escape some people's notice that Max kept another clean sheet this time against Aberdeen.
