Livingston manager David Martindale is on the hunt for a full-back.

Martindale was hit with a spate of injuries in the position and, although Adam Montgomery has recovered from a muscle problem, he is unable to face parent club Celtic on Saturday.

“At one point last week I was sitting with four full-backs injured,” he said.

“Dan Finlayson had a knock, Adam Montgomery had a knock, Cammy Kerr had a knock and Cristian Montano had a knock.

“So at that point I re-evaluated what we would maybe need to make us a little bit stronger. So I’m actively looking in the full-back area.

“I’ve got boys coming back. Cammy will be back December-ish time, Dan’s just coming back from a knock, Adam Montgomery’s coming back from a knock, Cristian Montano’s still kind of recovering from a knock.

“I’ve got really, really good players in those positions, when they’re available. It’s getting them available that’s become the problem.”
