Livingston: Marvin Bartley exits as manager after relegation

Advertisements

Marvin Bartley has resigned as head coach of Livingston following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership.

The 39-year-old former Hibernian and Livingston midfielder took charge in January, stepping up from the assistant’s role once David Martindale moved into a sporting director position.

Coach Neil Hastings has left along with Bartley as veteran midfielder Scott Arfield heads up an interim management team for the three remaining top flight matches.

Martindale, who has been at the club since 2014, had been at the helm for close to six years and led them back to the Premiership at the first time of asking via the play-offs following relegation two seasons ago.

However, this season Livingston went on a 33-game run without a victory – their 31 in the league being a record in the Scottish top flight.

Bartley did lead his side to a 2-0 win away to St Mirren two weeks ago, but despite Friday’s 2-2 draw with Aberdeen, their fate was sealed when second-bottom Kilmarnock beat Dundee United the following day.

The former Queen of the South manager moves on with a record of one win, six draws and four defeats.
