Bob backs Livi There is no love lost between the clubs, but that did not stop Dundee chairman Bob Brannan expressing support for relegated Livingston today (writes Tom Duthie). Since 2005 — when the Dark Blues were relegated, but felt Livi should have gone down because of the Hassan Kachloul affair — fans of the two clubs have not seen eye to eye. However, Brannan revealed today Dundee have contacted the SFL to express their dismay at Livi being relegated to the Third Division for falling into administration.
“People know there is no great love between Livingston and Dundee, but that does not mean we can sit by quietly and watch when a fellow- member club has been wronged,” said the Dens Park chairman.
“I have written to David Longmuir (league chief executive) to express our disappointment at what we feel is an inappropriate punishment. There are some very difficult economic times ahead and, if every club that goes into administration is relegated to the Third Division, we could have a very big bottom division by the end of the year.”
