Livingston crowned Reserve League Two champions

Livingston have been named SPFL Reserve League Two champions for the 2019/20 season.

With the campaign brought to an end for the organisation's senior teams, the SPFL Board took the decision to formally conclude the reserve leagues with final standing being determined on a points per game basis.

That means that the Lions (2.1667) pipped Ayr United (2.0909) to the title. Livi had been sitting on 26 points from 12 games, with the Somerset Park side on 23 points from 11 matches.

Hamilton Accies were declared Reserve League champions.

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “Firstly I would like to pass on my most sincere congratulations to our champions, Hamilton Academical and Livingston.

"While it is obviously not how they would have wanted to win the league their efforts across the season should not be left unrecognised.

“Our reserve leagues have provided a platform for young and emerging Scottish talent to gain experience of competitive football, often at a crucial stage in their development and I’d like to thank all clubs for their participation.

"It is, of course, entirely regrettable that the league could not be concluded in full but, given current circumstances, it was the view of the SPFL Board that giving clubs clarity was the most important consideration at this stage.

“Once plans are in place for senior competitions, we will consult with clubs to ascertain whether there is an appetite for the SPFL to run reserve competitions in Season 2020/21.”
