Livingston Football Club announces the departure of first team manager Gareth Evans following a managers' meeting today, where we voiced our concern over the stewardship of the club under Gareth. This despite the results being generally acceptable.

John Collins, having appointed Gareth to the post despite certain reservations, has regrettably decided to tender his resignation following our decision to relieve Gareth of his duties.

First team affairs ahead of this Saturday�s home fixture against Airdrie United will be handled by current Head of Youth Development, Richie Burke whilst the Board consider matters going forward.

No further comment in relation to this development will be made at this time.
