New director for Opcco6 - Paul Cullen. I imagine this is the new funding commitment. Edit: Bit of digging, he appears to be involved with Spring solutions that John Ward owns.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/djibril-diani-receives-work-permit-23780753 Diani deal finally over the line. I heard on a podcast last week that Martindale was planning to play him where he played Bartley for the final.

When sorry? Thought it was Longridge off the line.

Quality tackle from Jackson Longridge. He has been great in the last 2 games.

A draw was fair but it's very frustrating that Devlin has stitched us up on yet another goal. Sibbald man of the match. Very good throughout.

I think Holt and Sibbald have only played together in the centre once and that was when we beat Hamilton 2-0 (going on 4/5). Very good performance from them both which bodes well for the future.

It was against a Colts team that we went on to body 5-1. Everyone should be supporting that shitebaggery.

Ayia Napa Alan potentially in the squad for Saturday. Glorious.

Martindale saying that Stryjek has a bad back injury, hence why McCrorie has been playing. Hopefully we don't have to put Maley in goals against Rangers post-split...

Any word on procedural hearing with Ged Nixon? It was held between 9 and 9:30 this morning.

It's the derby, I can see why emotions are running high.

I listened to the Leishman interview last night. Brilliant guy who I would happily listen to all day.

We have stabilised considerably since Hopkin took charge but I imagine 20 managers will take some beating.

Rice saying we didn't deserve to win. What game was he watching? JET was really good today. Best performance from him in a Livi shirt. Was also impressed with Jackson Longridge who I thought looked really confident throughout. Devlin could be unbelievably good, it's frustrating that his final ball is so bad so often. Said it before but he should be training with Mullin to work on it.

Gallagher played almost all the games after signing a pre-contact with you. Martindale would have no issues with a player getting a better deal elsewhere.

^^^ tube.

Is the Motherwell rumour genuine? Hilarious, if so. Good player but I am pretty sure he will never reach the form he had for us again.

Good game imho. Said that last time and we went on to lose...

I have absolutely zero idea what McCrorie has done to be ahead of Stryjek. The defence always looks more nervous when McCrorie is in goals and he rarely makes saves beyond those you would expect of an average goalkeeper. Not hugely convinced by Stryjek either but it is abundantly clear that we are better as a team with him in goals.

I think our need for points is greater. Could you imagine a top 6 with both St. Mirren & St. Johnstone? Seriously though, win pls Livingston.

Can we please put Max back in goals again? There is absolutely zero point in playing McCrorie at this point in the season, when he is clearly no better. The third goal yesterday was absolutely brutal. I'm also baffled that Devlin has managed to last the entire season with such poor quality on the ball. Great attitude but so frustrating.

This. Both stories have clearly been leaked by Nixon to make his case look as positive as possible and put us in a bad light.

Worth an update on this. Martindale confirmed on LFCLive that we would be taking up the 1 year options on Devlin & Guthrie and that would be formalised shortly. With Reilly, Lithgow and Jacobs seemingly out for the season, we have a squad of 24. Martindale said previously that there may be some more players going out on loan when League 1 & 2 restarted but I wonder if the Reilly injury will change that. He also hinted at 'injuries' being picked up last night so possibly more than Reilly.

For less than 5 minutes, I believe.
