Livingston defender more pleased with clean sheet than Scottish Cup spot-kick winner
24.01.2022 - 14:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Ayo Obileye fired Livingston into the last-16 of the Scottish Cup as the defender netted the game’s only goal against Ross County.
His 16th minute spot-kick was the difference between the two sides, but the centre-back says he was more pleased with a clean sheet than his match-winning strike.
The former Queen of the South man has formed a brilliant partnership in the heart of Livi’s defence alongside Jack Fitzwater with the Lions having conceded just four goals in their last seven games.
That, Obileye says, means more to him than banging the goals in at the other end of the park.
He commented: “It’s not about goals for me, it’s about the clean sheet.
“We defended outstandingly. We want to keep building on that and I thought the boys played excellently.
“We knew County are a big physical side and they will put long balls into the box. We knew they’d put us under pressure and the boys did brilliantly under that.
“We work hard in training, off the pitch and in the gym to do these things, to be stronger and better prepared. We want to work hard for each other, for Max in goals, and the less goals we concede, the more games we will win.”
Obileye stepped up to mark after Bruce Anderson had been clumsily bundled over by Declan Drysdale. Few doubted the ball was going to hit the back of the net - and with good reason - as he’s never missed from the spot during his career.
The 27-year-old said: “I have scored every one. It’s maybe ten now. But it’s about the clean sheets, really. I am a defender and I am not bothered about scoring.
“I scored a few at Queens, and a few at the team before that, and the team before that. It’s something I am comfortable with.”
The weekend also offered the Livi faithful their first glimpse of Joel Nouble

‘Kandahar’: Capstone’s Christian Mercuri Talks Shooting Gerard Butler Actioner In Saudi Arabia, Plus Behind The Scenes Photos
Shooting wrapped last month on the long-awaited Gerard Butler project Kandahar and here are some exclusive behind the scenes photos from the film, which is notably one of the first major U.S. titles to shoot its entirety in Saudi Arabia. The film, which is produced by John Wick outfit Thunder Road Films and Capstone, reunites Butler with his Greenland and Angel Has Fallen director Ric Roman Waugh. While this certainly isn’t the first action thriller the bankable Scottish actor has starred in, Kandahar is one of the first big-budget Hollywood titles to shoot in the country’s northwest AlUla region, which is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra.
