Livingston defender Ryan McGowan feels that if Aberdeen beat Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday then they will virtually have third place wrapped up, even so early in the season.

The Dons have made a flawless start to their league campaign as they have won all six of their opening league matches and are sitting behind Celtic only due to goal difference.

Third-placed Rangers are five points behind and Aberdeen will play bottom-of-the-league Hearts at Pittodrie on Sunday.
