'Tide can turn' with win at Kilmarnock - Finlayson

Yahoo Sports

Livingston defender Dan Finlayson believes a victory at Kilmarnock on Saturday would revitalise their bid to stay in the Scottish Premiership. The West Lothian outfit are nine points behind second-botom Killie, but results have improved since Marvin Bartley took charge, with four straight draws. "We know how big a game it is," Finlayson said.

"At this point in the season, every game is massive, but there's no getting away from the fact ourselves and Kilmarnock have been in this situation for a long time with each other. "It's a massive game. The tide can turn really quickly if the result goes your way but then also if it doesn't, it can get too far away.

We understand it's a crucial point of the season. "But I think it's just about staying relaxed, going into the game calm, with clear heads. We're on a good run, so let's keep positive and see where we are at five o'clock.
