Goalkeeper Jack Hamilton signs new Livingston contract following promotion
The 31-year-old, who was Livi's back-up keeper for their last two seasons in the top flight, returned to West Lothian in January on a short-term deal until the summer after spending the first half of last season with Ross County.
Despite being restricted to an unused substitute role behind number one Jerome Prior as David Martindale's side secured promotion from the Championship via the play-offs, former Hearts, Dundee and Morton keeper Hamilton has been given the opportunity to remain with the Lions.
'We are delighted to announce that goalkeeper Jack Hamilton will be back in West Lothian for life in the top flight after agreeing a new deal,' read a short statement from Livi.

Rangers make last-minute change to Champions League squad just hours before Brugge game as top team star drops OUT
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS have made an 11th-hour change to their Champions League squad. The Light Blues host Club Brugge at Ibrox tonight in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie. Qualification for the league phase of the competition is at stake over the two legs, with the consolation prize a place in the Europa League. Following the signing of Brentford left-back Jayden Meghoma on loan, Gers have REMOVED Nedim Bajrami from their squad list and replaced him with the new arrival. Bajrami, 26, joined last summer from Sassuolo and played 44 times for Gers across all competitions, scoring five goals. He was a regular starter for the Light Blues in the Europa League but tended to be used more as a substitute in domestic action. Rangers paid a fee of around £3.4million for the Albanian international but he hasn't quite hit the heights on a regular basis in for the club. Meghoma arrives in Glasgow having worked under boss Russell Martin at Southampton before he was lured to the Brentford Community Stadium. The 19-year-old spent the back half of last season on loan at Preston North End in the Championship and played 14 times in total for the Lilywhites. Meghoma came through the youth ranks at Tottenham Hotspur before signing for Southampton at 16. Gers will soon confirm the departure of Jefte and with Ridvan Yilmaz also on the road out a new left-back was a major need, hence the approach for Meghoma. Rangers are also reportedly interested in a move for a former target, Roma left-back Anass Salah-Edine.

Celtic star puts contract talks on back burner as Kwon makes headlines after debut vs PSG
The Hoops are also locked in talks with a Championship club over a possible cooperation agreement Kasper Schmeichel insists he isn't thinking about his Celtic future as he puts contract talks on the back burner. The veteran keeper turns 39 in November and has set his sights on starring for Denmark at next summer's World Cup. Schmeichel – who replaced Joe Hart between the sticks at Parkhead last summer – hasn't thought about retirement just yet. 'No, that's just not how we operate right now,' he told STV. 'There's a massive game and all focus is on that. 'I can't imagine that's important to them or to me, at the moment. 'I've got a contract and it is what it is at the moment. We'll take that at some point.' Meanwhile, Celts are planning for the future, with young shotstopper Marcus Gill close to agreeing on a new contract. Elsewhere, former midfielder Kwon has caught the eye in France after an impressive debut against Champions League winners PSG. The South Korean was flogged to Nantes during the summer, having failed to make a single competitive appearance for Celtic since arriving from Busan I-Park in 2023. Kwon - who had mixed loan stints at St Mirren and Hibs - made his Nantes debut on Sunday as the new French top-flight season got underway. The 24-year-old didn't look out of place as he came up against PSG superstars Vitinha, Fabio Ruiz and countryman Lee Kang-in in the middle of the park. Kwon put in the hard yards before being subbed for ex-Arsenal ace Francis Coquelin in the final 10 minutes as PSG edged out 1-0 winners. And the official Ligue 1 social media accounts marked Kwon's promising start on X, sharing a picture and writing: "Kwon and Lee, South Korean talents shining in Ligue 1." Finally, Shaun Maloney is leading talks with Inverness Caley Thistle over a possible cooperation agreement with Celtic. Caley Thistle interim chief executive Charlie Christie revealed he met with the Parkhead club's professional player pathway manager. He told the Inverness Courier: 'We have been offered it by two or three clubs. Shaun Maloney drove up from Glasgow and said to me that they had done the data on the way Caley Thistle play. 'He said that we are only one of two clubs in League One that they would put players to and that is compliment to Scott Kellacher. Celtic is one we are looking at.' Celtic already have an agreement with Championship side Ayr United, which allows youngsters between 16-21 to move between the parent and cooperation teams throughout the season to increase playing time.

Tuesday briefing: Leeds win, Bournemouth sign Scotland star
Meanwhile, Russell Martin insists Rangers have it in them to seal a place in the group stages of the Champions League despite a distinctly underwhelming start to their domestic campaign. Leeds off to winning start despite Everton complaints Lukas Nmecha converted a controversial late penalty on his debut as Leeds made a winning return to the Premier League by beating Everton 1-0 at Elland Road. Second-half substitute Nmecha held his nerve to fire home an 84th-minute winner from the spot and seal Leeds a deserved win after Everton captain James Tarkowski was adjudged to have handled. Everton strongly protested against the penalty decision, which came after Anton Stach's thumping shot struck Tarkowski on the arm, but referee Chris Kavanagh's decision was quickly upheld by VAR. Tarkowski described the decision as 'bizarre', while Everton boss David Moyes, who confronted Kavanagh at full-time, said on Sky Sports: 'The goal's completely wrong and really harsh. 'It took a deflection, and.. Tarky would have had to get his arm chopped off. It was a poor decision. VAR had a chance to get that decision right and fair, and I felt like it wasn't fair.' Romero agrees new deal with Tottenham Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has ended uncertainty over his future by signing a new long-term contract at the club. The 27-year-old Argentina centre-back, who had been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer, was named as Spurs' new skipper on Wednesday following the departure of Son Heung-min. Romero had entered the final two years of his previous deal, but has signed new terms running until 2029, the PA news agency understands. Romero, who starred in Tottenham's Europa League triumph in May, said: 'I'm very happy here in the club. For me this club is the best in the world. 'After winning the Europa League, it's like a special season now. We want to win. Maybe why not win again this season? Another trophy with the club is important for everyone.' Bournemouth land Liverpool star Bournemouth have completed the signing of winger Ben Doak from Premier League rivals Liverpool in a deal worth up to £25million. The 19-year-old Scotland international has agreed a five-year contract. Doak spent last season on loan at Championship club Middlesbrough, scoring three goals and registering seven assists in 24 appearances. Bournemouth are understood to have paid an initial £20m and could spend a further £5m in add-ons as they reinvest some of the funds received from a series of lucrative summer departures. Martin undaunted by Rangers hopes of joining elite Russell Martin insisted Rangers should not be fazed by the prospect of joining Europe's elite in this season's Champions League as he rallied his players for the first leg of their play-off tie against Club Brugge at Ibrox. Gers have had a difficult start to the campaign and it was suggested that – after proving out of their depth when they last qualified in 2022 – they are ill-equipped for the continent's premier competition and would be better suited to dropping into the Europa League instead. Martin dismissed any such notion and only sees positives associated with making it into the Champions League within three months of his appointment. 'I think the belief it would give the players would be massive,' he said. 'I think what it would do for the football club financially would be huge. 'So I think if we were able to do it, which I really believe we can, if we can do it and qualify for it, I think it would be brilliant.' Forest continue to splash the cash Nottingham Forest have taken their summer spending close to £100million in the space of three days with striker Arnaud Kalimuendo following Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee to the City Ground. Kalimuendo has signed a five-year deal after Forest concluded a deal with Rennes to sign the 23-year-old striker, who scored 18 goals for the Ligue 1 side last season, in a deal worth £25million. The deal comes after a weekend that had already seen Forest spend a club record £37.5m to sign Hutchinson from Ipswich and £30m to get midfielder McAtee from Manchester City. 'When I heard about the interest from Forest, I was honoured,' Kalimuendo said. 'This is a proud moment for me, joining a team who had a strong season last year and a club with great history.' What's on today? Rangers look to move closer to a lucrative place in this season's Champions League as they face Belgian side Club Brugge in the first leg of their qualifying round clash at Ibrox. A busy League One programme includes Stevenage's bid to extend the division's last remaining 100 per cent record to four games when they travel to Port Vale. In League Two, pace-setters Crewe and Chesterfield look to keep winning with away games at Fleetwood and Gillingham respectively.
