David Martindale has turned to a Sevco podcast to explain why he pure tries his best against the Ibrox club so I do man.
After Saturday’s SPFL opener against Giovananni van Bronckhorst’s side the Livingston boss headed straight on the pitch to hug Scott Arfield for his equaliser before turning to console his own players.
The day was typical Martindale as he gushed away about his opponents none more so than in his post match interviews when he referred to ‘Wee Scotty’ (Arfield) and ‘Tav does what Tav does’.
It’s now eight defeats in a row for Livi against the Tribute Act but that didn’t prevent the former drug dealer from rushing onto an Ibrox fan podcast to share his feelings on the match.
In September 2018 the Daily Record reported:
A Premiership football boss was ordered to hand over £34,000 in a dirty money probe.
Livingston’s assistant manager David Martindale was banned from selling property he owned until he paid the cash.
Prosecutors targeted a £350,000 flat in Edinburgh’s Ravelston area after a proceeds of crime investigation into his assets.
In June 2016, they were granted a court order which banned Martindale from selling the flat until he paid them the cash.

Rangers beat us last year and we took points off Celtic. Do you seriously think I can go into my changing room and say: ‘Don’t try today lads, I was a Rangers supporter when I was younger’?
I’ve got six Celtic fans in there! Do you know what I mean? It doesn’t happen. I want to beat Rangers as much as I want to beat Celtic. Saturday, how anybody can… ‘Oh, his demeanour after the game…’
My pals all send me the stuff. I don’t want to see it, but it is quite funny sometimes. I don’t go on Twitter looking for it but it gets sent to me and I’m like ‘how tight was the game on Saturday?’.
You still get Celtic fans saying ‘he tries harder against Celtic’. Genuinely, and this is me being honest, probably too honest – I’m choking to take points off Rangers.
It was one of my bugbears since we beat Rangers (at home) 1-0 and had a draw, I don’t think we’ve done well against them, I don’t think we have.
And it’s not from the fact I go into the changing room and tell the boys not to try as hard today because it’s Rangers! I go out there every game no matter who it is, Rangers or Celtic, we want three points.
Martindale has been Livingston manager since November 2020, in September 2018 with Gary Holt as manager they beat the Ibrox club 1-0.
??”If that came out a 1-1 draw I don’t think anyone is questioning the result.”

“…when I was younger…”
Aye right ya baldy wee prick you’ve probably got a King Billy tattoo all over yer back that te show aff doon the ludge. A crook in all ways
As I have said before Martinjail was the one who got the job just think of the PEOPLE they had to refuse that were worse than him.
He looks and acts like an extra out of Chewin The Fat with that WEE JUNKIE Jimmy Krankie voice of his.
Why is this JUNKIE DRUG DEALER still in the job he is in.They are sitting there pissing themselves laughing on that PRODCAST.
The guy is a joke and should be nowhere near a football klub or team and that includes a prison team.
Good question Scud Missile! What does this say about those who employ him?
His inarticulate ramblings trying to cover up his lies are a dead giveaway.
Not only is Martindale a the Rangers fan, he looks like a the Rangers fan! You can wax lyrical about choking to take points from the Rangers, but I would certainly think what you say behind closed doors would be the polar opposite! Let’s ask Tav and wee Scotty what they think?
You can see where Edvard Munch got his inpiration for The Scream.
Methinks the smack dealer doth protest too much.
Another manager from an SPFL klub going on to the opposittion PRODCAST you could not make that up.
That’s the MENTALITY of this klown and the PEOPLE on the Livi board sit back alow it,I blame them as much as I do Pablo Escobar aka David Martinjail.
