Livingston have dropped out of the Scottish top flight for the second time in three seasons. The West Lothian club occupy the bottom position in the Scottish Premiership table after a defeat at Fir Park, according to Sky Sports. Theo Bair scored two times for Motherwell, while Sam Nicholson and Dan Casey added further goals. Joel Nouble scored the solitary goal for the visitors, but the result left David Martindale's side 12 points adrift with only three matches remaining.
The club have spent six consecutive seasons in the Premiership since gaining promotion in 2018. However, a run of 20 matches without a victory earlier in the campaign hampered their survival efforts, per The Guardian. Livingston managed only five league wins throughout the 2023-24 season before their fate was sealed. The team will compete in the Scottish Championship next term, while Ross County and St Johnstone continue to battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot.
