Livingston boss David Martindale insists a trip to Paisley would have been a daunting prospect even if the Buddies hadn’t defeated Celtic last time out.
Stephen Robinson’s men broke the Hoops’ year-long unbeaten league run prior to the international break after sealing a 2-0 home victory.
But Martindale believes that will be the last thing on the minds of the St Mirren players come their visit tomorrow.
He said: “Robbo and the boys will have enjoyed the Celtic result but he knows it is the same three points they get for beating Livingston.
“It’s maybe an unexpected three points but they maybe lost that bit of momentum if they played the following week. I am sure Robbo will tell them to forget the Celtic game and they will be focused on us.”
He added: “I watched it and 15 minutes in you could see how it was going and they were fantastic. From a league point of view it opens the league and if you are involved with Rangers they will be thinking they are right back in it.
“I like to look at the positives and it is good for the league as a whole and shows how good it is.
“It will be a tough test for us, but I don’t think the win over Celtic will have impacted this game at all.”
The Lions will have to get the better of former defender Declan Gallagher if they are to pick up the points in Paisley.
The 31-year-old has been in stellar form following an unsuccessful stint at Aberdeen and earned himself a Scotland recall.
Martindale was full of praise for the ex-Livi man, commenting: “Deccy has done well and I’m delighted for him.
“He knows Robbo from their time at Motherwell and I know him and his family really well.
“It was pleasing to see him getting back into the Scotland squad. He had a tough time at Aberdeen last season but he has a lot

Former staffers who worked on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team before they stepped down as senior royals in 2020 called themselves the "Sussex Survivors Club" because of the difficulties in dealing with them, according to an excerpt from a new book. The duchess was also called a "narcissistic sociopath" by her team behind her back, Sunday Times royal reporter Valentine Low writes in her book "In Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown" to be released next month, citing sources. In one specific instance, Low writes that Kensington Palace was in a "panic" after Meghan abruptly left a planned 15-minute meeting in at a marketplace in Fiji in 2018 for a project to help women that was run by the group UN Women. The palace initially said Meghan left after only eight minutes for security reasons, then claimed it was because of "crowd management issues," but it later emerged Meghan didn’t want to be associated with UN Women branding, according to Low.

The duchess was seen moments later in a car crying. Low writes that the palace had to assure Scotland Yard that Meghan had proper protection while on the trip through the South Pacific after reports came out about her being rushed from the marketplace. The author noted it wasn’t clear why Meghan wouldn’t want to be associated with UN Women and her lawyers have denied that claim. "This is completely false,"
