Match Report

TTA report

Motorola Cup at Livingston. 8 new faces started this game and after a bright start by Thistle First Division Livingston scored rather against the run of play following a partially cleared corner (7). They were more in command in the second half and despite some spasmodic Thistle pressure deservedly scored a 2nd goal (87).

Media report

20-Apr-1999, The Herald

Hosts Livingston made it through to the final of their annual Invitational Tournament at Almondvale, but there was little between the sides as they overcame Second Division Partick Thistle. John Lambie's side - which included Ray Montgomery among eight new signings in their starting line-up - began brightly, and in the fifth minute, Issac English latched onto a through ball and drove narrowly over from 18 yards. However, in seven minutes, it was the home side who took the lead, when a corner was cleared only as far as Paul Deas, who hit a precise, first-time volley from 25 yards. For a pre-season fixture, there was plenty of effort on show, and a few tackles might have been more severely punished by referee Alan Gemmill. That enthusiasm failed to generate much in the way of chances and it was not until three minutes from time when Livingston put the result beyond doubt. Davie Bingham and Charlie King combined for the latter to net with a simple tap-in. St Johnstone will face Partick Thistle in the third place play-off after losing on penalties to English second division side, Wigan Athletic, after a 1-1 draw.
