Livingston manager David Martindale has backed Marvin Bartley to be a success at Queen of the South and insists he is surprised his former number two has not started at a higher level.
Bartley left his post as assistant to Martindale at the Lions on Sunday to become the new boss at the League One side, who recently parted company with WIllie Gibson in the dugout.
The former Hibs, Burnley and Bournemouth midfielder Bartley initially moved to Livingston in a playing capacity in summer 2019 before making the transition to coaching.
