Bottom side Livingston secured a crucial 2-0 victory at St Mirren, providing a much-needed Scottish Premiership lifeline. The visitors dominated after the break, with Alex Gogic turning into his own net before substitute Scott Pittman sealed the win in the 80th minute. This marked only Livi's second league triumph since August.

St Mirren's makeshift defense, featuring emergency keeper Ross Sinclair and 17-year-old debutant Grant Tamosevicius, struggled against Livingston's second-half surge. Sinclair made several early saves but couldn't prevent the defeat that leaves the Buddies perilously close to the relegation zone with only a two-point cushion over Kilmarnock.

The victory lifts Livingston nine points clear of the bottom four with four fixtures remaining, providing temporary breathing room. For St Mirren, interim coach Craig McLeish acknowledged the need for unity as his team enters survival mode with four games remaining to save their season.
