Ali Crawford, Cammy MacPherson, Ross Sinclair, Drey Wright remain out, but defender Ryan McGowan is back from a foot injury.

Yutaro Oda missed Hearts’ defeat by Rangers and the forward will not be involved again because of a calf injury.

Liam Boyce, Craig Halkett, Peter Haring and Barrie McKay remain out.

Livingston v Motherwell (20:00)

Livingston hope left-back James Penrice can return from injury, while midfielder Steven Bradley and goalkeeper Michael McGovern are back in contention.

Midfielders Shaun Donnellan and Scott Pittman are both unlikely to be fit, while goalkeeper Jack Hamilton still has a groin injury.

Motherwell have lost Harry Paton to a serious ankle injury and the midfielder joins Andy Halliday, Barry Maguire, Adam Montgomery and Callum Slattery on the sidelines.

Did you know? Livingston won their first five home games against Motherwell, but since the 2003-04 season, they had only won twice against the Steelmen home or away before their 2-0 victory in October.
