The 2018–19 season was Livingston's first season of play back in the top tier of Scottish football since 2006, having been promoted via the Premiership play-off from the Scottish Championship, at the end of the previous season. Livingston also competed in the League and Scottish Cup.
Summary Management Having led the club to consecutive promotions manager David Hopkin departed the club during the close season on 31 May 2018, having declined the offer of a new contract. First team coach David Martindale took charge of team affairs in the interim. On 30 June 2018, former Rangers and Scotland striker Kenny Miller was appointed as player-manager on a two-year contract. Livingston marked his first managerial appointment.
On 20 August 2018, after just seven games Miller parted company with Livingston. The club wished Miller to take up a full time managers role, rather than the dual role he was currently undertaking and he wished to continue his career as a footballer. Assistant manager David Martindale took over team affairs in the interim, with Gary Holt being appointed as Head Coach three days later.
