Alex Tamm is relishing the prospect of going up against his Estonia team-mate Michael Schjonning-Larsen if he makes his Livingston debut in Saturday’s relegation showdown with Kilmarnock.
The 24-year-old striker, capped 19 times, this week joined the Lions on loan from Slovenian top-flight side Olimpija Ljubljana until the end of the season.

“One of my friends from the national team joined Kilmarnock and so it’s really exciting,” Tamm said of Estonia defender Schjonning-Larsen, who joined Killie this month from Levadia Tallinn.
“There is also the old Motherwell striker, Henri Anier, who I’m also really close to. Before joining here, I spoke with him about everything and he said this league would really fit me well.
“That helped me get to the final decision. They were really encouraging words towards me and so in the end, it made it easier to make the decision.”
Tamm, who hopes his move to Livi will keep him in the Estonia squad, believes his “workrate” can help his new team in their quest to get off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

“I would describe myself as a player who gives a lot to the team and through that, I know that I will get my chances as a striker,” he said.
“I’m two feet on the ground always, really trying to help the team, and my aim here is to help the team achieve its goals and then I know that through that, I can help myself.
“I believe that I’m really dangerous in the box, I’m really aggressive. I put in a lot of metres every game, I have the capacity to run and help the team in as many ways as possible and I believe that I’m a good finisher.”
