The Livingston midfielder looks back on his club career and looks to break his appearance record

Scott Pittman has been everything that defines Livingston's success over the past few seasons.

Quiet, humble, hardworking, and selfless. It is these traits that have carried both him and the club from League One to the Premiership in his two seasons.

And it is these traits that have kept him at the top of his Scottish football for his five seasons.

Livy's top flight with Motherwell Farr for his match Saturday When he takes to the Park pitch, he's played more games in a Lions jersey than anyone else. That's right.

We couldn't have picked a better player to take on that honor.

The local youngster is set to make his 310th appearance for the club over the weekend. This will be a "proud" moment, he says, but it's also a moment he never considered leaving football to go to a championship.

The club are looking to tie him to a new contract that will lead him to an awards season. I was obviously at the club for a while and was able to play most of the week.

Last season I was plagued with a few injuries, but I was lucky enough to stay healthy for a long time and play that many games.I feel like I improve my game every year. .

A constant presence in his career is his current Livi This is David Martindale, the boss.

The 48-year-old played alongside Pittman at Broxburn his athletics, which was then managed by Scott's father Steve.

Martindale left to coach at Livingston in the summer of 2014, and Scott was replaced by Boaness, who moved to United.

Six months later they teamed up again with Martindale, who was 23 at the time.

worked with his father and Stretch (Livy's goalkeeper coach Gary Maley) Trust me, he would have signed Livingston without pay just to get away from them.

} "This guy has run at least 11,000 runs in a game and has played 309 times so far. It's amazing when you really think about how many miles a little guy has run in a Livingstone jersey." 59}

"It's always been a big part of his game, but it's not the only one.

"His way of life is a credit to the profession. He has a stable family and isn't the typical footballer who wants to be photographed on social media with fast cars and flashy shoes.

``I don't think many people fully understand how important that aspect of football is. I will give.”

He added: I remember him training, but he was still running 30 minutes after the session ended.

"He always wanted to do more. It was the desire to return to full-time football, but that's what he had at the club.

" It was unfortunate that he was released from Hamilton when he was young, but their loss is Livingston's gain."

It wasn't all smooth sailing at Tony Macaroni Arena. , he suffered relegation to League One in his first full season.

However, both Martindale and Pittman agree that it turned into a blessing in disguise. It was a big step up from juniors to the championship and he spent 18 months leading up to relegation, but I don't think either Scott or Livingston would be in the Premiership without a return to League One.

"He didn't go straight from Boaness to the Premiership. It took us about 150 matches to get to the stage.”

Pittman added: We were the best team in Ligue 1 and had a solid foundation to carry that continuity into the championship and then into the premiership.

``Three years from League One to the first season in the Premiership were important to spend with many of the same players.''

The club's most successful players In hindsight, it seems strange for one of us to admit that he has doubts about whether he will succeed. Whether his transition from junior football to full-time championship his club was a step too far.

But he took the opportunity with both hands and has never looked back since, describing Livi as "the perfect club".

He commented: Of course, going straight from that level to full-time was a huge step up.

"I jumped at this opportunity because it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. And I loved every moment of it.

"I was able to go through different stages. Maybe, but it's the perfect club for me, I've never had a reason to leave because I'm local and I enjoy being here.
