In a thrilling encounter, Robbie Muirhead’s long-range strike salvaged a point for Livingston as they drew 2-2 with Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership. This result keeps Livingston in the fight against relegation, a battle they desperately need to win.
Mitchel Frame opened the scoring for Livingston with his first-ever goal for the club. The home side seemed to have momentum on their side, but the match took a quick turn after Joel Nouble equalised shortly after half-time.
However, disaster struck when Dan Finlayson scored an own goal, putting Aberdeen back in the lead. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost for Livingston, Muirhead stepped up — his curling shot from 22 yards out found the top corner, sending the home fans into raptures.
Key statistics:
- The match ended in a 2-2 draw.
- Livingston is currently at the bottom of the Relegation group, eight points behind Kilmarnock.
- A win for Kilmarnock against Dundee United could seal Livingston’s fate.
The early stages of the match were notable for Toyosi Olusanya’s missed chance — a strong contender for miss of the season. The pressure mounted as both teams made tactical substitutions at half-time, with Livingston making three changes to regain control.
Aberdeen remains second in the league standings after this draw. They could still secure their top-flight status by Saturday night, depending on other results. A win would have solidified their position even further.
This match was crucial for both teams — one fighting to avoid relegation and the other aiming to cement its place among Scotland’s elite. As they look ahead, Livingston must regroup and find a way to close that eight-point gap if they want to stay in the Premiership.
