Livingston manager David Martindale has confessed he needs to trim his squad this month to balance his books.
The Lions boss has revealed the Almondvale club has to find an extra £200,000 to help pay for the introduction of VAR and for repayments towards the loan received from the Scottish Government during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Martindale has confessed Saturday’s Scottish Cup progress past Stenhousemuir and their current fourth place in the Premiership will help plug the financial gap, as would qualification for European football next term.
