LIVI striker Armand One comes face to face with former employers Partick Thistle tomorrow afternoon in the Irn-Bru Scottish First Division clash at Almondvale Stadium.
But the towering Frenchman isn't setting his sights on proving himself to the Partick support, insisting that he needs to prove his ability to himself and the Livingston fans after an error strewn performance in last weekend's 4-1 defeat away to Dundee.
One was guilty of passing up several chances, in particular one opportunity directly in front of goal which should have found the net, with Dundee 'keeper Robert Douglas stranded.
"The last two games for me haven't been good at all." says One, "In particular the Dundee game last weekend is very much still on my mind.
"It shouldn't affect me, but off the pitch I am still thinking about the chances I missed. I am constantly thinking about how I could have done things differently. But I can't let that affect me going into tomorrow's game.
"I know if I manage to score one goal, it will completely go from my mind. As soon as I do that, I will only be thinking about scoring the next one.
"Obviously, I am excited to be coming up against Partick as I enjoyed my time there, but I am not putting any extra pressure on myself to score against them in particular.
"I have nothing to prove against Partick Thistle but I feel I have to prove myself to the Livingston supporters. I want to score against Partick to help Livingston win, that's all."
Kick-off at Almondvale Stadium is at 3pm tomorrow, with Partick coming looking for their second win at the 'Vale of the season.
The visitors won 2-0 here earlier in the season in the ALBA Challenge Cup, but the Lions gained revenge for that defeat with a 3-1 win after a blistering two goal start.
Captain Chris Innes is suspended for the fixture after breaching the disciplinary points threshold, whilst midfielder Murray Davidson is rated doubtful after picking up an injury in last weekend's defeat to Dundee.
