Livingston boss David Martindale has heaped praise on Nicky Devlin’s leadership skills and admits he felt sorry for the skipper during the Lions’ poor start to the season.
Full-back Devlin took over from Marvin Bartley in the summer after the former Hibs man became the club’s assistant manager and Martindale says it was evident from his first training session at the club that he was a leader.
Livi opened their season picking up just four points from their first eight games and the manager believes that hit Devlin hard but says he’s proved worthy of the armband as they look to strengthen their charge for a top-six berth when they visit Dundee tomorrow.
