Boroughmuir Thistle return to Meadowbank Stadium on Sunday afternoon when Livingston come calling for the second time in three games.
Following a disappointing loss away to Gartcairn at MTC Park last weekend, Andy Enwood’s side are looking to bounce back against the team they defeated emphatically in the Sky Sports Cup just two weeks ago.

The opposition
Since our last meeting two weeks ago, Livingston picked up a 2-0 home victory over St Johnstone on Sunday 6th October courtesy of an own goal and a Kaitlyn Canavan strike.
The Lions currently sit in third place in SWPL 2, one position and three points ahead of Boroughmuir after seven matches. Paul Greig’s side have enjoyed four wins so far this season, whilst also posting two losses and one draw.
A key attacking threat for Livingston is striker Lauren Evans who currently sits third in the top scorer table with five goals and was nominated for August’s Player of the Month award.
She scored the opening goal when the sides met at Almondvale Stadium in August, so the Boroughmuir backline know they could be in for a difficult afternoon if ‘Noddy’ is given space to operate.
Previous meetings
Sunday will mark the third meeting of the two sides already this season, with Livingston running out 2-0 victors in the league in August before Boroughmuir defeated the Lions by eight goals to nil in the Sky Sports Cup Second Round two weeks ago.
In four meetings last term, one Boroughmuir win and three draws proved that there is very little to separate the two teams who were neck-and-neck in the table right until the final game.
