Andrew Shinnie and Frankie Musonda were close pals during their time at Luton but will be facing each other this afternoon as Livingston host Ayr United
Livingston midfielder Andrew Shinnie and Ayr United defender Frankie Musonda were team-mates at Luton Town not too long ago. Now, after watching the Hatters' dramatic rise to the Premier League, the good pals are set to face-off for a place in the Viaplay Cup quarter-final.
Friendship will be put aside for the afternoon, though, as the veteran hopes he has the bragging rights come full-time, commenting: "I have a good friend Frankie who is at Ayr and I used to play with Jamie Murphy. I was at Luton with Frankie when he was a young lad and he’s done well since coming up to Scotland.
"I loved it at Luton and I got on really well with Frankie there. It’s an unbelievable story what’s happening there, I watched them on Match of the Day last weekend. “I was quite pally with him and I messaged him the other day saying, ‘captain of a Premier League team’. It’s an inspiring story. At Livi we say that we’re underdogs but sometimes it can work well for you.”
