FT: Falkirk 1-1 Livingston Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Scotland: "A Falkirk fan sent me a message this morning, saying 'good luck for the rest of the season, hope you get beat today. ' "I replied 'I just hope it's a good game of football and VAR doesn't get involved'. "I look at the penalty, and I think it's really harsh. The referee says its distance. Stevie May can't move it, his arm is not extended, it just hits him. The ref has seen it in real time and doesn't think it's a penalty. "I really don't think it's a penalty. Maybe my angle is wrong. There's a shout for us, Keelan Adams on Andrew Shinnie. You can see the motion of Keelan's arm. We were told Andrew was nowhere near the ball. What does that have to do with anything? "I feel like I'm talking about VAR far too much, maybe it's me that needs to shut up. " FT: Falkirk 1-1 Livingston Falkirk manager John Mc Glynn tells BBC Scotland: "We were the better team first half and Livingston were better second half. We lost a bit of control in the game, and without creating too many goalscoring opportunities, they had the better of it. "They had more of the ball, and we defended well for the vast majority. We come away with one point instead of three. Maybe we should have been further ahead in the first half, but I think a draw is a fair result. "I'm disappointed but it could be an important point. "It's been a good start. Every game is difficult and Livingston are a decent team that will pick up more points. We just had to do better second half. " HT: St Mirren 0-1 Hibernian Manager reaction from Livingston's late draw at Falkirk coming right up.

St Mirren 0-1 Hibernian Three minutes added at the end of the first half in Paisley. St Mirren 0-1 Hibernian Steven Naismith Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound Hibs are definitely the team who look more comfortable. They've got loads of movement off the ball which is allowing them to control the game. St Mirren will be disappointed with the amount of final third chances they've had.

Brian Graham's early penalty looked set to give Falkirk victory At a glance Brian Graham's penalty cancelled out by late Danny Wilson header John Mc Glynn's side up to third in the Premiership despite conceding late on Livingston stay bottom of the league after one win in 12 games Livingston snatched a point at the death for the second consecutive week but it was not enough to halt fellow Scottish Premiership newcomers Falkirk rising to third in the table. It looked like Brian Graham's first-half penalty was going to be enough for the Bairns to secure a fourth win in five games. They could have been further clear had it not been for Danny Wilson's late header, rising at the back post from a free-kick routine to nod past Scott Bain. John Mc Glynn's side only rose up to the Premiership in June and were written off by some, as the manager chose to trust in many of the players who had won promotion. They pipped Livingston to the Championship title last season, and they almost did so again at the Falkirk Stadium. But they could not build on Graham's spot kick, gifted to them after the video assistant referee (VAR) spotted a hand ball from Stevie May when the Livingston forward was defending a corner. And the visitors would have the last say again, just as they did against Hibs last week when Graham Carey's penalty snatched a draw against David Gray's side. Although plenty of those Championship veterans were still in the side today - Keelan Adams, Liam Henderson, Brad Spencer, Calvin Miller - it was the new, unheralded signings that looked more lively. Ethan Williams and Kyrell Wilson, on loan from Manchester United and Swansea City respectively, tormented Livingston's full-backs in the first half. They were able to link up from wing to wing, offering a real threat with the diagonal balls over the top. But they needed to be more clinical and create clearer chances. In attack, Graham put in a solid shift, but Falkirk need more at that end and with Ross Mac Iver injured, it only leaves 37-year-old Graham and 18-year-old Trey Samuel-Ogunsuyi. They had 12 shots, but only two of them were on target, and Jerome Prior only had one save to make. The attacking stats between Falkirk and Livingston The same could be said for Livingston. They boasted five shots on target from 11 shots but again, their chances were fairly tame. Mo Sylla and Lewis Smith both had chances from distance in the first half, but Bain wasn't all that busy. Ultimately they got their goal, and an important point. David Martindale said pre-match if they focus on themselves, the league will take care of itself. While they are only a win away from eighth-place at the moment, they can't afford to be cut loose.
