Livingston 'will bounce back,' says Shinnie

Andrew Shinnie admits Livingston 'haven't been good enough', but assures they 'will bounce back' after the international break.

The Lions have lost their last five Scottish Premiership games - including Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Rangers - and find themselves at the foot of the table.

But the experienced Shinnie believes the group at the West Lothian club has what it takes to carve an upturn in fortunes.

"That's a block of games finished, another international break, after which we'll go into another block of games where we really need to pick up points," the 34-year-old told the club's social channels, external.

"It's games we can but we are going to have to perform better than we have been doing because it hasn't really been good enough.

"Games are coming thick and fast, which is what you want as a player. We're going through a little run at the minute, but as long as I've been here we always go through spells in the season where we struggle to get results - I think a lot of teams do.

"Hopefully this is ours, quite early in the season. There is no doubt we will get better, it's a good group in there. We will work really hard, we will bounce back.

"That was a tough game to end this block. We tried our best to be in a good shape and make it difficult for them but obviously we've ultimately lost the game 2-0.

"We're going into a break where we don't want to be where we are but we've got to deal with that. We'll be working really hard during the break and the rest of the season and we will come through it."
