Birthday boy Josh wraps up the victory

Livi’s great away form continues

Livingston winger Josh Mullin celebrated his birthday in style with a fine goal to help his team secure three points against a dismal Falkirk side.

However, the 25-year-old admitted he was far happier to pick up a third consecutive Championship away victory on his big day than he was notching his second goal of the campaign.

Josh said: “It was a good way to mark my birthday but the most important thing was to get the three points.

“I’m glad to have helped get that with a goal but the win was the main thing. The first half was pretty frustrating and there wasn’t really much in the game.

“To come out early in the second half and get the two quick goals was good. The freekick routine was something we worked on in training so it’s good when it comes off.”

Despite the Lions now sitting in the play-off places, the former Albion Rovers midfielder insists all eyes are still focused on Championship survival.

He said: “We don’t really look at the table. We’re just trying to pick up as many points as we can as quickly as possible.

“The aim is to stay in the league and, if we’re being honest, if we keep this up we should be fine but our main aim is still simply to stay up.”

Livi boss David Hopkin continued to shuffle his pack as they played their third away game in a week. He made five changes to the side that suffered an agonising defeat to Hibs on Tuesday night. Among
