Livingston Women's ace determined to pick up first home win on Sunday

Livingston Women's ace Anna Dickov is determined to help the Lionesses pick up their first home win of the season as they welcome Gartcairn to the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday.

Dickov bagged her first goal of the season in their 5-0 away win at St Johnstone last weekend. And while the club can head into the clash with the SWPL2's bottom side full of confidence, she knows they can't afford to take them lightly.

Speaking to the West Lothian Courier, she said: "We've got two away wins so far but no home wins and hopefully that changes on Sunday. We definitely can't underestimate any team in this league so we'll plan and prepare properly, as we do with every other game, and we can head into it with confidence.

"We've not played Gartcairn yet this season so we're not really looking at their other results. We know they're going to be a good team but hopefully we can get that first home win."

Victory in Perth sees Livi sitting third in the table - a fine effort in the early stages for the newly promoted side - but Dickov says nobody at the club is getting carried away.

And she hopes her goal last weekend is the first of many this season, saying: "I'm delighted to get my first goal. The fact it was five different goalscorers is huge as well because there's goals throughout the side. We're strong at set-pieces with folk in the air and we've got midfielders who like to score goals so it helps take a bit of pressure off the strikers.

"We're happy with our performance on Sunday but we're not taking anything for granted or getting carried away. Anything can happen in this league, we just want to make sure we turn up and give it everything on a Sunday."

A summer arrival, Dickov says she's loving life at the club - but didn't need to
