Lions in seventh heaven as record victory dumps Clyde
IT TOOK five attempts but Livingston booked their place in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup in style, recording a record 7-1 home win over Clyde at Almondvale on Monday night.
The Lions now face First Division leaders Dundee at home on Saturday, 9 January, signalling the return of former fans' favourite Leigh Griffiths.
Livi made a terrific start, with Keaghan Jacobs scoring after four minutes on the counter attack.
However, their lead lasted only six minutes when ex-Hearts player Alan Lithgow scored with a thunderous strike from all of 35 yards.
Three goals in the opening six minutes after the break from Fox with a stunning volley from 20 yards, Winters and Andrew Halliday had Livi cruising.
Talented teenager Halliday, scored the fifth in 65 minutes and it was 6-1 two minutes later when Winters scored his second to make it 6-1, deftly flicking over Reidford from 12 yards out.
Reidford then reacted well to save from substitute David Winters, but Fox snapped up the rebound for his brace and Livi's seventh.
Livi manager Gary Bollan said: "The boys got their just rewards for all the effort they have put in. If we had taken our chances in the first half the score could have been even bigger."
