Livingston FC's Bartley Faces Must-Win Hearts Clash

0:00Marvin Bartley is settling into his role as manager of Livingston FC, even though their dead last in the William Hill Premiership, 12 points. Behind second-bottom Kill Marnock, with no wins since he replaced David Martin Dale. He's out of contract at season's end, just like much of the coaching staff, and they're all hunting for some job security amid the struggles. Plus, 16 players face the same uncertainty, which the club has to sort out soon. The immediate spotlight falls on Sunday's home clash against league leaders Hartz at the home of the set-fair arena, a tough matchup after Hartz, edged them 2-1 back in August on a late goal. Bartley called out the basics after their 2-0 loss at Kill Marnock on March 21, saying every game's a must-win now, and they need Sharper. Quality in the final third to turn things around, everyone's available for the 2pm kickoff except Connor McLennan, and long-term injury case Aiden Denholm might even return from Hartz on loan, giving them a real shot to build momentum.
