David Martindale admits he will be full of pride when he watches his former Broxburn team-mate Scott Pittman become Livingston’s record appearance holder away to Motherwell on Saturday.
The 30-year-old is due to make his 310th appearance for the Lions at Fir Park, which would take him above Keaghan Jacobs at the top of the charts.
Pittman first moved to Livingston from Junior side Bo’ness in 2015 after Martindale – who is now the manager of Livi – recommended his former Junior colleague to then Lions boss Mark Burchill. “I’m extremely proud of wee Pitts,” said Martindale. “I’m a good friend of his family and I know they’re very proud of him.
I tried on a number of occasions to get him into clubs when we were playing together at Broxburn. “I was centre-mid and wee Pitts was an attacking mid at that point.
