The 2018–19 season was Livingston's first season of play back in the top tier of Scottish football since 2006,[1] having been promoted via the Premiership play-off[2] from the Scottish Championship, at the end of the previous season.[3] Livingston also competed in the League and Scottish Cup.
Summary[edit]
Management[edit]
Having led the club to consecutive promotions manager David Hopkin departed the club during the close season on 31 May 2018, having declined the offer of a new contract.[4] First team coach David Martindale took charge of team affairs in the interim.[5] On 30 June 2018, former Rangers and Scotland striker Kenny Miller was appointed as player-manager on a two-year contract.[6] Livingston marked his first managerial appointment.[7]
On 20 August 2018, after just seven games Miller parted company with Livingston.[8] The club wished Miller to take up a full time managers role, rather than the dual role he was currently undertaking and he wished to continue his career as a footballer.[9] Assistant manager David Martindale[10] took over team affairs in the interim,[11] with Gary Holt being appointed as Head Coach three days later.[12]
