TWO former Celts are still in the running to become the next Livingston manager after the Livi board cut their shortlist down to less than a handful of people.

The newly promoted side are looking for the best candidate for the job – with that in mind both John Hartson and Jim Duffy are still in with a shout of becoming the next Livi boss.

We understand Livingston have spoken to both about the vacant position and are close to making their final decision.

There is no doubt that Jim Duffy comes with spates of experience but will Livi go with the wildcard option in John Hartson who has had a short stint at the club as a coach previously.
