Livingston 3-2 St Johnstone

2Slick

Livingston rocketed up the league table after this win over second-placed St Johnstone in monsoon conditions.

The home side took an early lead through Dave Mackay's long-range strike, although Saints soon levelled through fellow right back Andy Lawrie.

Steven Craig regained the lead for Livvi with a close range effort before Neil Teggert grabbed a third.

A late period of Saints pressure led to a goal from Willie McLaren, but it proved to be too little too late.
