WILFRIED NANCY has called in Viljami Sinisalo to replace Kasper Schmeichel against Livingston in West Lothian this afternoon.

Reo Hatate, who missed the 3-1 win over Aberdeen through illness, is also among the stand-by squad.
TEAM; Sinisalo; Ralston, Trusty, Tierney; McCowan, Nygren, McGregor, Engels; Yang, Kenny, Maeda. Subs: Doohan, Simpson-Pusey, Scales, Yamada, Bernardo, Hatate, Murray. Forrest and Donovan.
Earlier today, we asked how much you could remember about past associations with the West Lothian club in CQN’s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
