Livingston haven't given up on survival - May

Livingston forward Stevie May insists the team have not accepted relegation is certain but knows they have to start winning games to survive. Manager Marvin Bartley has overseen an upturn in performances since succeeding David Martindale as manager and have drawn five of their last six games, and May believes that shows encouraging signs but more is needed to make a great escape.

Livingston forward Stevie May has issued a defiant message from the dressing room: the fight for Scottish Premiership survival is far from over. Despite sitting bottom of the table with just six games remaining, May insists the squad has not thrown in the towel, acknowledging that a dramatic turnaround must start now with victories, not just improved performances.

The Lions face a daunting 11-point gap to safety, but there are flickers of hope. Since Marvin Bartley took the managerial reins, the team's resilience has improved, going unbeaten in five of their last six outings. However, as May points out, draws alone won't spark a great escape. "We’ve been quite close but not quite there," the veteran attacker admitted, highlighting the fine margins that have defined their season.

May pinpointed a frustrating trend for Livingston: an ability to compete with the league's top sides, undermined by conceding costly goals at critical moments. "It’s not as if we’ve been well beaten every game," he said, reflecting on a campaign where promising performances haven't translated into enough points. The challenge now is to convert that underlying grit into a decisive winning streak, starting with their upcoming clash against Dundee United.

While acknowledging the odds are long, the forward emphasized the unwavering belief within the camp. "We’re still believing in here," May stated. "It needs to be a winning run... we’ve got to give it everything we can." For Livingston, the final stretch is about pride, pressure, and proving that their recent unbeaten run can evolve into the catalyst for a survival miracle.
