Livingston 0-0 Hamilton: Livingston deny Accies
Livi teenager Ross Docherty endured a dramatic, albeit brief, outing as he was dismissed in the encounter’s most contentious moment. He was shown a red card by referee Steven McLean for a reckless challenge on Hamilton defender Ziggy Gordon after 27 minutes, an evident attempt at retribution after a similar challenge perpetrated by Gordon minutes earlier, for which the Accies defender was only booked.
Hamilton’s Gary Fisher almost broke the deadlock in scintillating fashion after 16 minutes, producing a spectacular overhead kick from 10 yards which Darren Jamieson parried.
