Livi still have 'a lot to prove' in Premiership - Wilson

Danny Wilson says Livingston have "got a lot to prove" at Scottish Premiership level, but they won't ditch the style that brought them back to the top tier. Livi have six points from their first eight league games after bouncing straight back up from a season in the Championship. "The manager's been quite vocal about saying he didn't want to change too much from last season," Wilson said after Livi picked up a point at Dundee United.

Danny Wilson says Livingston have "got a lot to prove" at Scottish Premiership level, but they won't ditch the style that brought them back to the top tier.

Livi have six points from their first eight league games after bouncing straight back up from a season in the Championship.

And defender Wilson assures David Martindale's side are not aiming to abandon the approach that delivered such success.

"The manager's been quite vocal about saying he didn't want to change too much from last season," Wilson said after Livi picked up a point at Dundee United.

"We had a good season last year and there was a definite shift in the way we wanted to play, so we're trying to continue with that.

"We have to factor in we're playing a higher level this year, against better players, better athletes, so we take all that into account.

"We'll make the adaptations we need to, but we'll try to play in the meantime."

The West Lothian club held on for a potentially pivotal point at United, bucking the recent trend of conceding late goals, and head into the international break with a spring in their step.

"I think you try not to think about it, but it is a fact we have conceded goals late on and it has cost us points," Wilson added, alluding to games against Rangers, Dundee and Hearts.

"We would probably have a slightly better points total if we'd been able to brush up on that.

"So it was important we didn't do that again and we managed to put a point on the board."

"We're a team that's still got a lot to prove at this level."
