ALL HALE RONAN AS COUNTY LEVEL UP

RONAN HALE'S 95th penalty got Ross County out of jail in the first leg of this Premiership play-off.

Livingston will be wondering how they failed to take a lead to take into Monday's return in Dingwall.

They dominated the majority of the game last night and took a deserved first half through Danny Wilson's goal.

They dominated the second half but failed to make their dominance pay and were left counting the cost when VAR intervened to give the Highlanders a late leveller.

John Beaton was sent to the screen and he awarded a penalty for Danny Wilson's shirt pull on Jordan White.

It saw tension raised and a Livingston fan got involved with the County dugout after the goal.

County No. 2 Carl Tremarco had to be pulled away as a home fan allegedly spat at him.

Don Cowie had to pull his assistant away and after the match said the Livi fan had "spat" on his colleague.

He also made his point to Livi counterpart, Davie Martindale, at the final whistle.

The two teams will now need to go head-to-head for 90 minutes to see who plays in the Premiership next season.
