David Martindale admits he knows what Celtic and Rangers are batting at in terms of budgets and that he can't compete financially,.
The Livingston boss has watched the Lions continue to disrupt the historical top four in the Scottish Premiership with the Tony Macaroni Arena outfit some way behind third-place Hearts but keeping the likes of Aberdeen and Hibs at bay as they push for what would be a historic European spot. Martindale's men have a habit too of taking points from both sides of the Glasgow divide.
But in terms of financials the Lions boss insisted Livi would be top of the league last month on a 'points per pound' basis as he explained his reasoning behind the system and admits his men are batting with the lowest amount of cash in the whole division.
