Livingston and Aberdeen played to a thrilling 2-2 draw in the Scottish Premiership, with Robbie Muirhead scoring a spectacular equalizer for the bottom side. Former Celtic player Mitchel Frame opened the scoring before Joel Nouble leveled early in the second half. Dan Finlayson's own goal gave Aberdeen the lead, but Muirhead's trademark long-range strike rescued a vital point for the home team.

The result leaves Livingston clinging to their top-flight status, eight points behind safety with relegation looming if Kilmarnock beat Dundee United on Saturday. Aberdeen missed the chance to secure their Premiership safety with a victory that would have given them three consecutive league wins for the first time since early 2025. Toyosi Olusanya had a contender for miss of the season in the first half.

The match showcased both teams' defensive vulnerabilities and attacking capabilities. Aberdeen's inability to close out games continues to raise questions about their consistency, while Livingston's resilience in fighting back twice demonstrates their determination to avoid relegation. With relegation and safety still hanging in the balance, both teams face crucial matches this weekend that could determine their futures.
