Livingston midfielder reflects on career at club as he's set to break appearance record

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scott Pittman is everything that defines Livingston’s success over recent seasons.Quiet, unassuming, hard working, selfless.

It’s those traits that carried both he and the club from League One to the Premiership in the space of two seasons.And it’s those traits that have kept him in the top flight of Scottish football for five seasons.When he takes to the pitch at Fir Park on Saturday for Livi’s top flight clash with Motherwell, he’ll have played more games in a Lions jersey than anyone else.You couldn’t have hand-picked a more fitting player to have that honour.The local lad is set to make his 310th appearance for the club at the weekend and it’s something he says will be a ‘proud’ moment but also one he could never have thought possible having left Junior football for the Championship in 2015.There’s no sign of him slowing down any time soon, either, with the club set to tie him down to a new contract that will take him into a testimonial season.Speaking to the West Lothian Courier, he said: “It’s a milestone I’m pleased and proud to have reached.

I’ve obviously been at the club a while now and been able to play most weeks.“Last season I had a couple of injuries that set me back but I’ve been lucky to stay fit for so long and get that number of games under my belt.

I feel like I’ve been improving my game every year.”A near constant presence in his career has been current Livi boss David Martindale.The 48-year-old played alongside Pittman at Broxburn Athletic, managed at that time by Scott’s dad Steve.Martindale left to take a coaching role at Livingston in the summer of 2014 and Scott moved to Bo’ness United.Six months later they were teaming up again with Martindale crucial in the recruitment of the then 23-year-old.T
