Cup win brings joy for Makel

Livingston midfielder Lee Makel revealed how winning the CIS Insurance Cup final helped ease the pain of the worst weekend of his life.

Makel was on the verge of pulling out of the tie against Hibernian at Hampden Park following a turbulent 48 hours that saw him run down a homeless person before being given the news that his fiancée’s father had died suddenly the night before the game.
