On Wednesday in Scotland, in Livingstone, the only match of the Scottish championship took place between the underdog team "Livingston" and teams from Edinburgh.
The match ended with a successful result of 2-1 in favor of the "Hearts" club, in which almost 20 percent of the shares are owned by Lithuanian businessman Vladimir Romanovas.
In these matches, a Lithuanian goalkeeper made his debut, appearing on the field for 67 minutes. The team's head coach John Robertson was satisfied with the game of the Lithuanian wearing number 23. Mikoliūnas was praised by the Scottish press after the match. Another new "Hearts" player - Hjalmar Thorarinsson from Iceland - also appeared on the field alongside the Lithuanian.
"After missing a goal, we decided to send two young boys onto the field and see if they could liven up the game, and they certainly did. The young Hjalmar and Saulius tried hard, and then Paul scored a great goal, while Lee secured the victory," said "Hearts" coach J.Robertson.
All goals in the match were scored at the end of the game: in the 74th minute, after a precise shot from Derek Lilley, the "Livingston" team took the lead, but in the 85th minute, after a precise shot from Paul Hartley, the "Hearts" team equalized, and just a minute later Lee Miller from "Bristol City" scored the winning goal for the Edinburgh team.

The "Hearts" team is currently in fifth place, just one point behind the eleventh-placed "Aberdeen".
It was previously expected that four Lithuanians would play in the Scottish club, but it is reported that Gediminas Vičius and Andrius Gedgaudas did not agree on a contract with "Hearts", so only Marius Kižys remains in the team with Mikoliūnas.
