Club Secretary Derek White said: “I’m absolutely delighted that David, Danielle & Colin have accepted these roles. They all stood out during the recruitment process for a variety of reasons and they all bring a different skillset to the table which made them the perfect candidates for the roles.

“This is another important step forward for the club in the off-field department and hopefully gives Livingston fans the platform to ensure their voices are heard across the club.”

David MacLennan (SLO) said: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity of taking on the role of Supporter Liaison Officer at Livingston Football Club and I believe that my previous experience will lend itself well in the role. 

“I am excited to be representing both the club and the Livi fans and look forward to the interaction with the supporters and being their impartial voice at the club.”

Danielle Bennett (SLO) said: “I’m delighted to be appointed in this role and I know I have some big shoes to fill but with such a great team behind the scenes, I’m confident the outcome will be nothing but a successful one.”

Colin Williamson (DAO) said: “The reason I applied for the volunteer post of Disability Access Officer at Livingston Football Club is because I want to make a positive difference for supporters with a disability by acting as an effective voice through my role as DAO. I hope to do this by increasing awareness and acceptance of disabilities and I hope to enhance the experience of all our fans who have a disability. I myself know from experience of living with hidden disabilities how challenging the barriers both seen and unseen can be and I want to break those down in as positive a way as I can.”
