Roddy takes high road to Livi

RODDY COLLINS has been appointed as the general manager of Livingston FC, after Irish businessman Anthony McMullen secured a 50% stake in the club.

Collins, one of Irish football’s most colourful characters, has managed Bohemians, Carlisle United and Shamrock Rovers, but in his new role at the Scottish club is expected to operate as a Director of Football.

However, his appointment probably spells the end for current boss Mark Proctor, after Livingston finished a disappointing fourth from bottom in the Scottish First Division this season.
