Livingston are relegated from the Scottish Premiership following a 4-1 loss to Motherwell.
Livingston have been relegated from the Scottish Premiership following a 4-1 loss to Motherwell this afternoon.
David Martindale‘s side made the trip to Fir Park knowing that a loss, coupled with Ross County avoiding defeat at home to Hibernian, would open up an unassailable gap to the relegation playoff spot.
Livingston were comfortably beaten in the end, losing for a 22nd time this season, while Ross County picked up a crucial 2-1 win to climb up to 10th and leave St Johnstone now in the relegation playoff place.
Motherwell opened the scoring midway through the first half courtesy of a penalty from Thelonius Bair, before Sam Nicholson doubled their advantage on the stroke of half time.
Bair added a second in the 68th minute to effectively secure the win that ensures Motherwell’s top-flight status for another season, and Dan Casey poured more misery on the visitors with a fourth six minutes later.
Jon Nouble struck the meerest of consolations for Livingston moments later, but by that stage their best hopes of surviving at least another matchday lay with Hibernian at Dingwall.
