Livingston manager David Martindale says he hopes to get a new contract agreed with striker Scott Robinson - but admits he'll have to wait until the club's financial situation for next term is clearer.
The 28-year-old was named Premiership Player of the Month for January, while Martindale himself scooped the manager's award for a second straight month, and the gaffer says he's keen to keep hold of the former Hearts and East Fife man.
He commented: "It’s difficult financially just now because when are fans going to return? Originally when the pandemic happened I was thinking probably around January.
“Then you’re looking at the start of next season, then you’re thinking maybe September.
“It’s difficult, especially with Robbo, as it’s obvious we’re going to have to give him an improved contract.
“To do that I need to know my budget but the board needs to know where the money is coming from. You’re in a Catch-22 position like everyone else.
"We’ve spoken about sitting down at the end of the year and if we can keep him at the club we’ll keep him at the club. I know he wants to be at the club.
He added: “Robbo is a great lad and we’ll try and sort it out as soon as possible when the board give me an indication.
“Maybe if we get top-six it’s something we can look at as finances are set in stone a wee bit more.
"In saying that we finished fifth last year and lost £250,000 due to Covid. It’s difficult trying to give improved contracts when nobody knows where the money is coming from."
