Ex-military man Gary Holt up for veterans award

Livingston manager Gary Holt has been nominated for a Scottish Veterans Award.

Holt served in the Catering Corps for nearly six years and was attached to 28 AMPH engineer regiment before he got his start in the game with Celtic in 1992.

The awards are run in support of The ABF Soldiers Charity Scotland and Holt is up for the ‘Contribution to the Scottish Sport’ category.

He said: “I was surprised, shocked and humbled because I don’t think you ever see yourself as somebody that is just going about their job day to day, who is then nominated for these awards. It is always nice, and it is humbling to see what people think of you and to get nominated first and foremost.

“Then to make the shortlist is quite a big shock to me. I think people that know me, know how I am, and I am very much about the collective rather than the individual and it’s not something I am used to.”
