Livingston boss David Martindale 'gutted' after Lions fall to late defeat against Aberdeen

Livingston boss David Martindale admitted he was 'gutted' to come away empty-handed after suffering late defeat to Aberdeen yesterday.

A fumble from goalkeeper Max Stryjek four minutes into injury-time saw the Dons pick up all three points. Bruce Anderson had given the Lions a first-half lead with a neat header before Teddy Jenks levelled things up two minutes after the interval when he found the corner from 20 yards.

The gaffer, though, says he saw plenty of positives in the performance and that it was a defeat the whole squad will take on the chin.

He commented: "I’m gutted for the boys, gutted for big Max.

“Obviously he made a mistake, it was kind of a bog-standard save. I'm Gutted for the big man and for the group but as we always say here, it’s not about the me, it’s about the we. We can’t just just make it about the we when we win games and when we lose the game it is the collective too."

He added: "I felt we put more than enough into the game to take something from it. I thought we had the better chances.

“If we came away with three points, most would have not said too much about it, and if we came away with a draw most would have said it was a fair reflection but for Aberdeen to get the three points is really, really disappointing.”
