This will be the first season in which Livingston and Falkirk meet in the top fight since 2005-06 – the Bairns won three of the four league meetings that term (D1).This is the first time two newly-promoted sides have faced each other in the Scottish Premiership since Dundee and Hearts in 2021-22. The away side has won three of the past four matches between two newly-promoted clubs in the competition (D1), including Livingston suffering a 3-1 defeat to St Mirren in April have failed to win their opening home game in each of their past seven Scottish top-fight seasons (D3 L4) since beating Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-0 to open up the 2004-05 and Livingston both drew 2-2 on matchday one.

What the pundits made of United's 'outstanding' draw with Rapid
Former United midfielder Scott Allan on BBC SportsceneOutstanding away performance from Dundee United. They all deserve full credit, that took a whole team Goodwin will be absolutely delighted. Take this game back to Tannadice and it's all to play for. Zac Sapsford was outstanding all night, he deserved that goal and after it the team took huge United defender Sean Dillon on BBC SportsceneI'm delighted for them, they defended really and everyone deserves a huge amount of credit. Craig Sibbald down the middle of the park was brilliant, an unsung hero. He was doing thing you don't normally see or people don't often pick up on, but he was just so calm in how he did Stirton was given half an hour not just the last few minutes. He was trusted with that and he was excellent when he came on. Having substitutes improving your team is excellent for the manager and the team got more confident and grew as the game went on. Rapid Vienna were really dangerous down the wings but to come back from behind twice and make tackles and blocks, Bert Esselink in particular, was incredible. There were so many individuals who went above and journalist Moira Gordon on BBC Scottish Football PodcastBeing the team with the momentum at the end of the match always you're coming back feeling that you've been abroad, you've done the hard job of fighting back twice, you get a belief from that. In United's earlier games, people looked and maybe thought they were slow starting. There was a lot of players still to gel but I think there is more team fluidity there now. The fact they were able to do that in a really tough tie and be able to come back more than alive, they'll fancy their chances back home. They've shown they've got the fight for it and they want it.
