Livingston FC's August concluded with a narrow defeat and a new image from a recent draw, as the club handles the early stages of the Scottish Championship season. The Lions currently sit 5th in the table with six points from five games, having scored and conceded four goals for a zero goal difference.
Livingston suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Arbroath on August 29. The only goal of the game came from a penalty converted by Gavin Reilly in the 48th minute. Livingston's Cameron Macpherson was booked just before half-time, and Arbroath's Scott Constable received a late yellow card in the 85th minute.
This result contributed to Livingston's recent form of LLWLW, leaving them seven points behind early leaders Stenhousemuir. The club's next challenge is an away fixture against Greenock Morton on September 11, a team currently sitting 9th in the table.

Celtic left-back Adam Montgomery has joined Livingston on loan for the 2026/27 season. The 24-year-old Scottish defender, who joined Celtic from Aberdeen in 2022, has won two Premiership titles and a League Cup with the Glasgow club.
Montgomery has made two Championship appearances for Livingston so far this season. His form has been described as steady and consistent, which the profile suggests is a solid foundation for a developing full-back. His most productive loan spell came at Queen's Park in the 2024/25 season, where he scored once in 12 league games.
Partick Thistle highlighted their August victories over Livingston and Greenock Morton when announcing their Player of the Month nominees. The club stated that Thistle's Aidan Fitzpatrick created the cross that deflected in for their second goal against Livingston, giving them a two-goal cushion before half-time.
Seb Drozd was also nominated after a Player of the Match display against Livingston, where he helped create both of Thistle's goals. Thistle's August included a draw with Inverness and a win over Queen's Park, with goalkeeper Liam McFarlane keeping three clean sheets in five games. Voting for the Seven Wealth-sponsored award closed on September 2.
As of September 6, Livingston hold 5th place in the Championship standings with six points. Their record shows two wins and three losses from their opening five fixtures, with no draws recorded. The team's goal difference remains perfectly balanced at zero, having found the net four times and conceded four.
This leaves Marvin Bartley's side looking to build consistency ahead of their trip to face Morton. Livingston's next match is scheduled for September 11, 2026.
