Livingston boss David Martindale has moved to ease his defensive crisis by handing Danny Wilson a short-term deal. The 32-year-old, who has been a free agent since leaving Queen’s Park, has penned a deal until January.

The former Scotland defender, who has had spells at Rangers and Liverpool, will come in and provide cover with Ben Jackson and Shaun Donnellan currently out.

Martindale said: “Danny had been in training with us, with a view to getting himself back to America so a short-term deal at this stage suited both parties. “He has been brilliant in and around the club and I am looking forward to him now being able to join up with the group properly as a Livingston player.

After the update on Ben Jackson’s injury from parent club Brighton & Hove Albion being worse than we had anticipated, coupled with Shaun Donnellan only recently having his surgery, I felt we were a little bit short in our defensive numbers.
