Watch Davie Martindale continue his Tav love-in

Despite watching the team that pays his wages losing out to a penalty and red card Davie Martindale seemed upbeat as he discussed Saturday’s 3-0 defeat.

The Livi boss has developed cult status among many in the media, especially BBC Scotland and is never shy about praising opponents from Ibrox.

After losing 2-1 to Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side on the first day of the season Martindale was high-fiving with James Tavernier and Scott Arfield on the pitch after the match.

During his media conference the Livi boss referred to ‘Tav doing what Tav does’ followed by a reference to his pal wee Scotty.

A couple of weeks later Martindale appeared on an Ibrox fans podcast explaining some of his background and how much he’d really love to get a win over the Ibrox Tribute Act.
