Scottish Championship: Livingston part company with manager John McGlynn

Livingston have parted company with manager John McGlynn by mutual consent.
The club is bottom of the Scottish Championship, and was deduced five points last month for breaching SPFL rules, relating to non-payment of tax.
Livingston did not win a league match from mid-September until December 6, when they thumped Raith Rovers 5-1. But they lost 1-0 last weekend to Falkirk, and that proved to be McGlynn’s last game in charge.
A statement by the Scottish Championship club read: “The club wish to go on record in stating their appreciation for the work John has carried out under extremely difficult circumstances this season. Ultimately though, football is a results-based business.”
McGlynn said: “I would like to thank all the players, back-room staff, administration staff, directors, chairman and fans for their support, hard work, dedication, and professionalism during my time at the club.
“I was very grateful to get the job back in Sept 2013 and have done everything in my power to do the best job I possibly could. It is with great regret that we have agreed mutually, to part company but I acknowledge that it is a results business and unfortunately no matter how hard I worked, we could not get the results we all desired.
“I feel it is now time to let someone else come in with plenty of games remaining in the season to turn the club’s fortunes around.
“I would like to wish the club every success in the future. I believe they will stay in the league and have a great chance of lifting the Petrofac Cup.”
