The Specky Forum Organiser 69,633 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 FORMER celtic star John Hartson has emerged as a shock candidate to take over from David Hopkin at Livingston, according to reports. Hopkin secured back-to-back promotions at the Tony Macaroni Arena and is in demand with a number of League One sides in England hoping to bring him on board. And now Hartson – who joined Livi last year as a striker coach – could take his first step in management, according to the Daily Record. The former Hoops ace currently works as a pundit with BT Sport and the BBC but could follow Steven Gerrard into life as a boss. Ex-Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson is also in contention for the job after impressing as a youth coach at Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rangersross 6,724 Posted June 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2018 Was very pleased we brought him into our coaching setup but, if he’s got a chance to move into senior management in the top flight, very good luck to him. Even if he doesn’t go to Livingston, he’s clearly a guy who’s really passionate and knowledgeable about football so I’m sure he’ll get a chance like this soon.

Cedrick 8,048 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If Gerrard hasn’t yet finalised his back room staff I hope he gets a chance to talk football with Thommo before hand and gets him into the first team set up , he’d be an excellent first team coach bombaybadboy08 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to nip this in the bud, move him up the ladder at Rangers if it will stop him leaving - my opinion would be a massive lose Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it would be great putting five or six past his team for a few times before he either gets sacked or relegated. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,932 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Where did Hopkin go? Richard Gough was manager there if I remember correctly. Gerrard has brought in his own little team from Liverpool so I don't know if that would affect KT who is only part time while he runs his own soccer school.
