Marvin Bartley has laughed off suggestions Lyndon Dykes’ dodgy hairdo is a come-and-get-me plea to Rangers.
Instead, he is adamant the in-demand Livingston striker’s wife is to blame for the blue barnet.
Steven Gerrard is reportedly interested in bringing in Dykes but Bartley said: “Lyndon has has some absolutely shocking looks – blue hair isn’t even the worst.
“He’ll just randomly say to his wife, Victoria, ‘Cut my hair’ – and she is NOT a hairdresser. So he’ll come in the next day and it’s unreal.
“There was a point last season when I said to him, ‘I’m messaging Victoria because enough is enough!’ It was unacceptable. He’d gone through three haircuts in four days and the second one was horrific.
“I read about it being a ‘come and get me plea’ to Rangers but he’s just bored, like the rest of us, and is too much of a live-wire for his own good.”
Bartley believes Dykes’ next move needs to be the right one for the forward’s career progression.
He added: “It’s vital that when Lyndon does move on he goes to a team that suits his playing style.
“He’d thrive at a team that puts in plenty of crosses and are a little more direct. There are plenty of clubs who utilise that style and will be looking carefully at Lyndon, that’s for sure.
“There are also some clubs who might think, ‘Let’s see how he does in his second season at Livingston and if he is playing regularly for us, he’s in that shop window.”
