Levein on survival chances, Livingston & injuries

St Johnstone manager Craig Levein has been talking to the media before his side's Scottish Premiership trip to Livingston on Saturday.

Here are the key points from his press conference:

• Stressed the club's Premiership fate is very much in their own hands as they fight for survival, and insists he would have taken this scenario a few months ago.

• Levein says he will take each game on its own merit but accepts wins are needed.

• Doesn’t know what to expect from Livingston but is preparing to face the “best version" of David Martindale's side.

• Planning for next season is on hold until end of campaign - "until we know what our budget is and what league we are playing in, there is nothing I can do".

• Wigan loanee Luke Robinson is out for the rest of the season with a cartilage tear, while Tony Gallagher is a doubt.

• Levein is keeping an eye on the play-offs, just in case they end up facing one of the Championship sides.
