Livingston boss David Martindale confessed he’d be ‘bitterly disappointed’ if the Lions were unable to make the top six.
They missed out in agonising fashion last season when they conceded an injury-time equaliser in the final game to Motherwell having been well-placed for weeks, so there can be no complacency or assumptions this time round, either.
However, with just four games remaining before the split, Livi occupy sixth spot – currently one point ahead of Saturday’s opponents St Mirren. They have already surpassed last season’s pre-split point tally, something the boss says is proof of the progress being made at the club.
