BOYES IS POSITIVELY LOVING LIFE AT LIVI

- By ALAN DOUGLAS

LIVINGSTON defender Morgan Boyes feels he is adapting well to life after Liverpool. The 21-year-old moved to the West Lothian club on a permanent contract in January after ending his long associatio­n with the Anfield side. Despite being unable to make the grade at Liverpool, Boyes viewed his move to Livingston as a positive step in his career and is delighted with the way things have gone so far. ‘I’ve found the transition of leaving Liverpool and coming here easier than I expected,’ he said. ‘I’ve slotted in straightaw­ay and it’s been good so far. ‘I wouldn’t say there was a disappoint­ment at leaving Liverpool but I’d been there since I was seven years old, so the main thing I wanted when I came here was to get a good run of games and first-team experience at a high level.’ Callum Davidson, meanwhile, wants St Johnstone to play with courage today as they continue their fight to avoid relegation. The Saints boss was unhappy with the performanc­e in the 1-0 defeat by St Mirren last week and is looking for a big improvemen­t in the final three fixtures of the season. Saints are five points ahead of bottom side Dundee and Davidson acknowledg­ed the importance of the trip to Livi. He said: ‘I’m looking for a good performanc­e and courage from the players to get on the ball. If they do, we’ll create chances.’
