Scottish Championship: ‘Another Falkirk slip-up a possibility’, says Livingston boss Martindale

Martindale says he will be ready for all permutations come Friday evening.

Opponents Thistle know a win would secure the final promotion play-off spot, while a point is likely to be enough even if fifth-placed Raith Rovers win at Queen’s Park.

“I think there’s going to be a lot going on in the game,” Martindale said. “You’re going to have the Livingston fans keeping you up to date in the Falkirk game, and we’re going to be looking at that also.

“I’ll go into the game with a plan for the game, to win the game, but there’s also going to be an in-game strategy, depending on what’s happening elsewhere.

“You’re then going to have the Partick Thistle fans, no doubt, telling the Partick players and the Partick staff the Raith Rovers result.

“There’s a lot of different variables that can happen throughout the game, but that’s testament to the Scottish Championship.”
