May strike seals win for Livingston
Two second-half goals helped Livingston earn a victory at Alloa in their first pre-season challenge. Robbie Muirhead netted from the penalty spot, firing the ball straight down the middle of the goal, to open the scoring at the Indodril Stadium, but Irish-born forward, Connor Sammon, scored for the home side to level seconds from the break after slack defending. Livingston went ahead for a second time when Reece McAlear collected a ball and he scored from 12 yards and Stevie May then scored a spectacular goal, nicking possession near half-way and then sending the ball into the rigging with the goalkeeper struggling to get back for a 3-1 win. Two of David Martindale's summer acquisitions, Connor McLennan and Mo Sylla were given game time and Danny Wilson, who re-signed during the week, was also on duty. The Lions now head for Holland and their training camp when they are scheduled to play two games, the first against Greek, side Aris FC, on Thursday and against Belgian opposition in K V Kortrijk on Saturday. Meanwhile, Label 5 Scotch whisky continue as a men's first-team shirt sponsor for the next campaign. The name of the Bathgate-based business will appear below the player number until the end of the season however they may continue the partnership beyond this term. FLASHBACK: Stevie May scored at Alloa for Livingston on Saturday but he also played for St Johnstone and here he is playing against Hearts. Like this: Like Related

Martindale welcomes 'newest version' of artificial surface
David Martindale says criticism of Livingston's artificial surface has been "unwarranted" but is looking forward to welcoming opponents to a new improved one in the coming West Lothian club's pitch is being upgraded this summer and the Livingston manager points out that it is the "newest version of our surface and Falkirk's", which has received some praise."I know everybody talks about it not being a good surface, but that probably comes from watching and not playing on it," he said of Livingston's has lost captain utility man Jamie Brandon to Kilmarnock but brought in four new players - winger Graham Carey from St Johnstone, defender Shane Blaney from Motherwell, plus forwards Connor McLennan and Zak Rudden from Ayr United and Queen's Park striker Stevie May has signed permanently after last season's loan from St Johnstone."I thought it was important to get as much Premiership experience in as we can," Martindale told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound. "They are all boys who have played in the Premiership and I'm giving some of them the opportunity to continue to do that but also giving some of them the chance to get back to the Premiership."Martindale admits his side will be slightly "undercooked" when the season starts with the League Cup group sections because they will be "a week to 10 days" later in starting pre-season because of playing in the Premiership Play-off final. "I've been involved in some big games with Livingston previously, but that tops the lot for me," he said of the victory over Ross County."In the manner of going behind, how we won the game, it was just a great way to end the season. I think it was a really good game of football for the neutral, but I think it was really good for Scottish football in terms of the play-offs - it is one of the formats that work."

Stevie May becomes FOURTH ex-St Johnstone player signing up for Livingston's Premiership campaign
Livingston's St Johnstone-themed summer recruitment strategy is gathering pace, with the newly-promoted team signing Stevie May on a permanent contract. The Perth great was a regular on loan in the Championship, with his role changing to impact sub towards the end of the campaign. David Martindale saw enough in May, who scored 10 goals in 46 appearances, to persuade him to offer a permanent switch to West Lothian after he was released by Saints last month. That deal means that there will be at least four ex-Saints at Almondvale. Ryan McGowan was one of Livingston's promotion stars, with Graham Carey and Connor McLennan both signing this week. May's legendary status at McDiarmid Park is assured. He inspired Saints to their first Scottish Cup triumph in 2014. Then, in his second spell at the club he was part of the 2021 double-winning squad.
