2023–24 Livingston F.C. season
season of football team
The 2023–24 season was Livingston's sixth consecutive season in the Scottish Premiership, the top flight of Scottish football. Livingston also competed in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.
Season summary
On 1 June it was announced that chairman Robert Wilson would retire from his position. The following week the club promoted Chief Executive John Ward to the position of Chairman, with Dave Black becoming the new Chief Executive, having previously been Business Development Manager and Head of Commercial & Media Operations - Black had in fact once been a ball boy for the club.
On 24 September 2023, Livingston announced a takeover of the club with new ownership led by businessman John McIlvogue and his company Baycup Ltd. McIlvogue would be taking up the role of chief commercial officer. The move was cast into doubt weeks later as former directors launched a legal challenge to the sale of the club. Manager David Martindale reported that the dispute was still ongoing at the end of the season, and his future was likely to be determined by the outcome of an upcoming court case. As of 4 June 2024, the case remains unresolved - no changes have been made in respect of the ownership or directors of the club resultant from the 'takeover'. There have however been changes to the board of the club's majority owner, Opcco6 Ltd, in January 2024 with the removal as director of the club's chairman John Ward.

Why this record matters
The phrase “season of football team” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119475370. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2024.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
