Looks like another of the newer names in Scottish football will soon cease to exist. Not that Livingston FC will be mourned by too many. Like Gretna, they were perceived as Johnny-Come-Latelys who upset the established order by living outwith their means.
But what's more worthy of contempt? A Gretna or Livi who took risks and dared to aspire to success against the odds, or an Albion Rovers or East Stirling, enjoying impunity from relegation and content to bump around the farthest depths of the league structure in perpetuity? There are plenty of better-supported and more ambitious teams in the Highland League, East of Scotland league and the Juniors. Let's open a trapdoor like they have at the bottom of England's Division 2 - it'd be one small step to reinvigorating Scottish football.
