Report as Livingston clinch a late draw thanks to a second-half goals from Jeremy Bokila and substitute Tete Yengi; Dundee took control of the game with quick-fire first-half goals from Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreve which had led to Livi being booed off at the break Saturday 13 December 2025 20: 31, UK Livingston fought back from two goals down to salvage an important point from a 2-2 draw in the bottom-of-the-table Scottish Premiership clash with Dundee. The visitors took control of the game with two goals in quick succession in the first half from Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreve. After being booed off at the interval, Livingston improved in the second half and deservedly pulled one back through Jeremy Bokila. Then, just moments after coming on from the bench, Tete Yengi knocked an effort through the legs of Dundee goalkeeper Jon Mc Cracken in the 85th minute. The draw moved Livingston to within three points of second-bottom Kilmarnock while Dundee climbed to 10th, four points better off than the Lions. The hosts handed captain Ryan Mc Gowan his first start since September after the defender spent three weeks in hospital with a severe infection that required an operation and led to him losing 7kg. But any hope the experienced former Hearts and St Johnstone centre-back could strengthen a porous rearguard was dashed early on as Dundee scored two goals within five minutes.

After a scrappy start that was not helped by the blustery conditions, the Dark Blues went ahead in the 13th minute through Dhanda. Ethan Hamilton's low left-footed skidding shot from distance was pushed out by goalkeeper Jerome Prior on the stretch and on-loan Hearts playmaker Dhanda reacted the quickest inside the area to place the rebound high into the net. It got better for Dundee in the 18th minute as they added a second. Tony Yogane's deep cross from the left flank was volleyed into the net at the back post by the unmarked Congreve after Livingston defender Daniel Finlayson got caught under the delivery. It could have been worse for the home team after Billy Koumetio glanced a header inches wide of the far post from a Dhanda free-kick. Livingston brought on Connor Mc Lennan at the break for Joshua Brenet and manager Davie Martindale would have been pleased by their reaction as they tried to get a foothold in the game. Lewis Smith's turn and shot from the corner of the box was well saved by Mc Cracken and the Dundee goalkeeper was called on again moments later to parry a Cristian Montano drive from a tight angle. Martindale was not impressed by Mo Susoho's reaction to be substituted in the 61st minute. But the Livingston boss was feeling happier when his team reduced their arrears in the 64th minute through Bokila. The striker raced onto Montano's piercing pass and held off the challenge of Koumetio before sweeping a shot past Mc Cracken from just inside the area. Livingston forward Stevie May made his presence felt after replacing Susoho after having a shot beaten away by Mc Cracken before then firing just wide. But Mc Cracken was at fault as Livingston grabbed an equaliser when the goalkeeper allowed Yengi's tame back-post effort to squeeze through his legs. Livingston were reduced to 10 men in the final seconds when Mc Gowan was sent off for a last-man challenge on Emile Acquah. Super 6 are starting the season by guaranteeing a £1, 000, 000 winner!
