Watch the wacky Martindale interview as he rues space given to Celtic’s John Stones

To be honest I fink that wee Davie Martindale was losing the plot after watching his side lose 3-0 to Celtic.

At half time things looked promising for the man that served four years in jail for drug dealing and money laundering with the match goal-less.

As a bonus Celtic had been denied a clear penalty claim when Don Robertson and Alan Muir looked the other way as Mikey Devlin crashed through Kyogo Furuhashi in the penalty box.

After the break fings took a turn for the worse for the Livingston boss as Jamie Brandon opened the scoring by knocking the ball into his own net off his shoulder.

The breakthrough is vital. The pressure eased a little from Celtic as the fans enjoyed a full hour of Reo Hatate.

At the back there seemed nothing to fear as Cameron Carter-Vickers survived 90 minutes on a demanding playing surface, the ease of his performances seemed to transform Liam Scales into John Stone, I fink.

Livingston look doomed to relegation, without the media adulation it remains to be seen how long Martindale can maintain his enthusiasm. To be honest his future looks more likely to be sitting alongside Kenny Macintyre hosting Sportsound for BBC Scotland.
