Livingston fail in relegation appeal

Livingston have failed to overturn their relegation to the Irn-Bru Third Division following a hearing at Hampden.

The West Lothian club lost an appeal against their relegation from the First Division by 16 votes to 10 at a special general meeting this afternoon.

Livi, who were punished following a court’s decision to appoint an interim manager to take control of their finances, must now decide whether to take their case to the Scottish Football Association.
