Formed in the throes of the Second World War in 1943, Livingston Football Club is a fae creature in the lean but storied forest of Scottish football. Nurturing their bonsai of talent in the so-called Set Fare Arena, it's a quaint fortress nestled on Scottish soil, much like an unassuming village pub or a forgotten stone circle.
Bearing the mantle of Livingston FC are 27 gentlemen, duelists of the pitch, marshalled hither and yon in their chosen strategy of ball and goal. Averaging 27 years of age, each warrior is in their prime, a perfect blend of youth's insouciance and experience's wariness, every one a unique and unrepeatable concoction of genetics, effort, and sheer bloody-mindedness.
Currently, the 2021 season sees Livingston displaying their mettle in a triptych of challenges. The Premiership, a demanding coliseum of the greatest talents in Scottish football, holds them in its 12th position. The League Cup, another stage for their chase of coveted silverware, witnesses their quest to progress beyond the Second Round. Last but not least, the Scottish Cup, that grand old dame of national football competitions, bookmarked a spot for them in the Fourth Round. All in all, a season fraught with potential to carve their name into the annals of football lore.
