Livingston boss David Martindale says the Lions would be open to the possibility of becoming a feeder club for an English Premiership outfit - and admits he doesn’t see his long-term future being at the club without investment to take them to the next level.
The Tony Macaroni Arena outfit have continued to punch well above their weight and are currently in their fifth consecutive top flight campaign despite continually having the smallest budget in the division.
That results in players regularly leaving West Lothian for more money elsewhere while a string of experienced players could be heading for the exit this summer with skipper Nicky Devlin and midfielders Jason Holt, Stephane Omeonga and Andrew Shinnie being out of contract.
