Former Hibs, Celtic, Rangers and Scotland striker Kenny Miller was finally unveiled as Livingston’s new manager at the Tony Macaroni Arena yesterday.
Miller beat off strong competition to land the much sought after post following the club’s shock promotion to the top flight last season.
Miller said: “There’s an existing structure here that is definitely going to aid me and make the transition that bit smoother.
“There are going to be bumps along the road, there’s absolutely no doubt about it. Until you make the step, it’s a step into the unknown. I will learn in the job. In a month or two I’ll be more familiar with what is required and what the job entails.”
“This dressing room we’ve got has been huge. It’s a fantastic environment, they’ve worked really hard in the last few years to create that environment. They are a great group of boys who are all in there fighting for their club, each other and their coaches and managers. If you’ve got that, it can take you a long, long way.”
Director John Ward added “we’re happy we’ve finally landed Kenny. We’ve been speaking since Monday, and it’s not helped that his agent has been in Colombia with the dime difference causing some issues.
“But it’s a leap of faith for Kenny coming into management, and a leap of faith for the club too, but we’re thrilled to have him here now and he’ll be a big influence on the park as well as in the backroom.”
Chairman Robert Wilson said:“I’m totally delighted Kenny has come after a long week. We interviewed him at the start of the week as John said, but it was only yesterday it was all finalised. His arrival can only help the club to move forwards now.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
