Morton visit Livingston for a friendly ninety minutes of association football. Morton have not played Livingston competitively since 2018 when Livi made the jump to the Premiership.

Livingston joined the SFL in 1974 as Meadowbank Thistle, just in time to compete in the final two-division season. In the three-division era they played 8 years in tier II and 11 in tier III. Since 1994 they've spent 10 seasons in the Premiership (including 2022-23), 11 in tier II, 6 in tier III and 2 in tier IV. Altogether Livi and Morton have been in the same division 16 times.

Morton's Kyle Jacobs, Cameron Blues, Alan Lithgow and Carlo Pignatiello have all played for Livi. Livi's Jamie Brandon played for Morton last season.

Livi have been training in Pinatar, Spain.
