Docherty ruled out of Livi head coach search

Former Dundee boss Tony Docherty has informed Livingston he no longer wants to be under consideration for the position of head coach at the West Lothian club.

Docherty had spoken to Livingston after the position became vacant when Marvin Bartley left the club with three games left of last season.

The club were relegated from the Scottish Premiership after finishing in bottom spot in the table after gaining promotion 12 months ago through the play-offs when they defeated Ross County.

Docherty is understood to be looking at other coaching opportunities and recently has been working with the Scottish FA at coaching seminars.

Scott Arfield took charge of the club for the last three matches of the season but is not under consideration for the job although there remains a possibility of a player/coach role with Livingston.
