Ex-Sunderland goalkeeper Max Stryjek will "probably" leave Livingston this summer, according to his manager.

"I do believe Max is probably not going to be here, because there is a good bit of interest, so I've got to do what's right for the squad and I think, from what I've seen of Ivan, he's more than capable of being the number one next season."

Owls skipper Barry Bannan is said to be the highest-paid player in League One. It took 75 minutes for the midfielder to produce a pass to justify his top-flight salary, but it was worth its weight in all that gold. Sunderland, by contrast, used the backing of their capacity crowd to attack their opponents during Friday's first leg.
