Livingston have confirmed that discussions are ongoing for former Rangers hero Scott Arfield to remain at the club in a player-coaching role next season.
The midfielder initially joined Livi in January on a deal until the end of the campaign. But when Marvin Bartley resigned as head coach earlier this month, Arfield took interim charge until the end of the season.
Arfield led the team for three matches: they lost 3-0 to Dundee, drew 0-0 with Dundee United, and were beaten 4-1 by Kilmarnock.
On Monday morning, Livingston provided an update on the 37-year-old's future.
"The club would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Scott Arfield for stepping in to take charge of the team for the final three matches of the season," a statement read.
"Scott assumed responsibility ahead of our match against Dundee at extremely short notice, taking on the role with less than 24 hours’ preparation. Despite the challenging circumstances, he approached the task with professionalism, commitment and a real desire to support the club during a crucial period.
