Livingston new boy Mo Sangare sat out Monday’s friendly against Queen’s Park after pitching up at the WRONG stadium.
The Liberia international had been down to start the 1-0 win at Lesser Hampden but made an embarrassing blunder after believing the match was taking place at the Tony Macaroni Arena. The 24-year-old, who joined on a two-year deal from Accrington Stanley last month, still managed to make it to Glasgow before kick-off but was left to watch from the sidelines.
Livingston boss David Martindale said: “The players were meant to turn up at 6.15pm at Hampden, he turned up here at 6.15. He is just new up the road and it’s going to be a steep learning curve. He is a talented footballer, a super kid, very laid-back, which gives you some kind of explanation as to why. I spoke to him about attention to detail. He was due to start, he got there half an hour late, an hour before the game.
“He never started, never got on the park and played with the B team on Tuesday night. A clean slate for him and we move on. It’s not the first time, it happens most years. It was Dylan Bahamboula last year and funnily enough he was the one phoning Mo, saying, ‘Where are you?’.
“I normally take the bus but we were in training the next day and a lot of our players are west coast. I wasn’t going to ask the guys to drive through to the Dakota hotel to drive to Hampden.
“They could go straight home after the game as opposed to having drop-off points on the bus. I can see why it went wrong but he needs to pay more attention.”
