About our Livingston FC news
Latest news on Livingston F.C., providing comprehensive coverage of The Lions, Livi, Scottish Premiership, transfers, results, and developments at Almondvale.
Livingston Football Club, known as The Lions or Livi, is a professional football club based in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland. Founded in 1943 as Ferranti Thistle, the club currently competes in the Scottish Premiership after securing promotion via the Championship play-offs. Under chairman Calvin Ford and manager David Martindale, Livingston play their home matches at the 9,713-capacity Almondvale Stadium.
The 2024-25 season marked a triumphant return to Scotland's top flight for Livingston, who finished second in the Championship before winning the promotion play-offs against Partick Thistle. The Lions also lifted the Scottish Challenge Cup, defeating Queen's Park in the final. Manager David Martindale, who has guided the club since December 2020, continues to build a competitive squad capable of Premiership survival and progress.
Livingston enjoys strong community support throughout West Lothian, with the Livi for Life Supporters Trust playing a vital role in club affairs. The club's academy system remains a cornerstone of their philosophy, developing local talent whilst maintaining strong connections with the community. Local partnerships and youth programmes ensure Livingston remains deeply embedded in West Lothian life.
The club's remarkable journey from administration in 2009 to Premiership football exemplifies Scottish football's unpredictability. After being demoted to the Third Division following financial difficulties, Livingston achieved consecutive promotions to reclaim top-flight status. Their greatest triumph remains the 2004 Scottish League Cup victory over Hibernian, achieved just weeks after entering administration.
