Livingston boss David Martindale says he needs to find a ways to accommodate both Joel Nouble and Bruce Anderson up front for the Lions.

Nouble has been used predominantly as a winger during his time at the Tony Macaroni Arena but put in a man of the match performance in a central role against Rangers on Saturday.

Anderson, meanwhile, was their leading scorer last season and the top flight’s top Scottish marksman with 11 goals. Speaking to the Courier ahead of Sunday’s visit to Dundee United, Martindale said: “Joel can play in the wide areas but I thought it was a complete all-round striker’s performance against Rangers. “He’s got pace, he’s got good link-up play but we need to work on his finishing and his aerial ability within the box.

He’s needs to be more aggressive in the opposition box. “I do think there’s shape in the team to play him and Brucey together at times.
