Inside St Mirren's soaring Livingston win as Paisley unites behind Stephen Robinson's achievers
St Mirren fired themselves into fifth place with a convincing victory over Livingston in Paisley - after VAR gave them not one but two first half penalties. Mark O’Hara converted both spot kicks either side of a Tony Watt strike and other scores elsewhere went in their favour much to the delight of gaffer Stephen Robinson. Incredibly after 15 seconds there was a lengthy VAR check for a penalty to the hosts after a possible Fitzwater handball. Ref John Beaton was then called across to look himself and awarded the spot kick, which was duly tucked away by O’Hara to give St Mirren the perfect start. Livi never recovered that poor beginning and it was 2-0 before the 20 minute mark, this time Watt cooly side stepped Shamal George in goal to roll home after being found by Curtis Main In the box for his first Buddies goal.
