Livingston hit fan who allegedly spat in Ross County No2's face with life ban as police get involved
Lions CEO Dave Black says he is 'disgusted and embarrassed' by the actions of one punter after playoff final first leg
Livingston will issue a lifetime ban to the so-called fan who spat at Ross County assistant manager Carl Tremarco.
The Staggies No. 2 was attacked in the away dugout as he celebrated his team's late equaliser in the first-leg of their Premiership play-off on Thursday night.
Livi chief executive Dave Black has confirmed the individual's details have been passed on to the police and he will also be banned from the Set Fare Arena.
Black tweeted: 'Utterly disgusted and embarrassed by the actions of the idiot in the home end at the end of the game.
'We've passed details over to the police to ensure it's dealt with there and of course, he'll be issued with a lifetime ban.
'We want no association with people like that.
'Spoken to some at County both at the ground and afterwards to offer our apologies.
'No one should come here and be treated like, or have that happen to them.
'Certainly not a representation of the club, but disgusted that it's happened from our end nonetheless.'

Gangland Mr Big Ross McGill under fire as thugs torch taxi owned by girlfriend's dad
George Newall's black taxi was firebombed outside the family home leaving it extensively damaged. The father of the girlfriend of the Scots gangster orchestrating the ongoing countrywide underworld feud has been targeted in a firebombing. George Newall's black taxi was firebombed outside the family home leaving it extensively damaged. His daughter, Olivia, is dating Ross 'Miami' McGill and has moved to Dubai where he lives. McGill is believed to be the central figure behind the gangland war which has torn through Scotland in recent months. The incident occurred last Wednesday on Glasgow's Kingswood Drive in the city's Kings Park district. One local said: 'We could not believe it. It is a very quiet area around here and then this happens. 'George is a lovely man. Hard-working. Honest and just trying to make a living. 'He does not need this hassle on his own doorstep.' No-one is understood to have been injured in the incident and police are continuing to investigate. Ms Newall is the cousin of a man called Lloyd Cross who last year was jailed for his part in a £100million cocaine-smuggling plot. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It was masterminded by Jamie 'the Iceman' Stevenson, once dubbed 'Scotland's most wanted man.' Cross was given a six-year sentence after pleading guilty to serious organised crime and drug offences. The 32-year-old is a close friend of McGill's having grown up less than a mile away from each other. Their friendship was also solidified through their involvement in the Rangers ultra group, the Union Bears. The attack on Newall's cab took place as reports of a truce in Scotland's gang war emerged. It was claimed that McGill had agreed to pull back on a series of bitter attacks launched against Edinburgh mob boss Mark Richardson and his close associate, Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, from the notorious Glasgow Daniel crime clan. McGill has been waging war on the pair since March after Richardson's cronies ripped him off in a £500k cocaine deal. A number of properties, cars and business linked to Richardson and Daniel have been torched and shot at in recent months while pals of the hoods have been attacked with machetes. Neither kingpin appears to have retaliated against McGill until news of Newall's taxi emerged, just days before two key Lyons lieutenants were brutally executed in Spain. Eddie Lyons jnr and Ross Monaghan were gunned down at a bar in Fuengirola on Saturday night. We previously reported that the Lyons, sworn enemies of the Daniel family, were understood to be feeding McGill information about the whereabouts of his key targets.

Rangers chief Kevin Thelwell says head coach appointment due in ‘coming days'
Thelwell has officially started his role but had already been working on finding a new man to lead the first team after Barry Ferguson's spell in interim charge ended at the close of the season. Outgoing Real Madrid assistant manager Davide Ancelotti remains the favourite with former Swansea and Southampton boss Russell Martin also heavily linked. Steven Gerrard reportedly dropped out of the race. Thelwell is looking to remove further uncertainty over the club's future after a takeover by an American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises was confirmed on Friday. The 51-year-old, who has left a similar role with Everton, said on the Rangers website: 'It's a great honour to be joining Rangers, particularly at such an exciting moment in the club's history. Kevin Thelwell has today begun his role as Sporting Director as the summer of change here at Rangers moves up a gear. Read More ⤵️ — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) June 2, 2025 'While there has been significant work going on in the background prior to my arrival, that naturally accelerates from today, and top of the priority list will be the appointment of a new Head Coach for our men's first-team. 'That search has been progressing well, and the club and I look forward to bringing that to a conclusion in the coming days.' Rangers confirmed that Thelwell had brought Dan Purdy with him from Everton to replace Nils Koppen as technical director. Koppen, who arrived from PSV Eindhoven in December 2023, initially as director of football recruitment, will work with Thelwell and Purdy to 'support a smooth handover'. Purdy spent 11 years at Everton working in scouting and analysis and most recently head of recruitment. Rangers stated Purdy would lead on recruitment and scouting across the men's, women's and academy programmes. Thelwell arrives after three years at Everton. He previously worked for the Football Association of Wales and was head of the youth academies of Preston, Derby and Wolves, the first two working under former Rangers midfielder Billy Davies. He moved to New York Red Bulls to become head of sport for two years before his switch to Everton. 'This is a new chapter for Rangers, and while we recognise success won't come easy, our goal is clear: we need to win,' he said. 'My focus is on delivering that, with discipline and ambition. We'll give everything to move this club forward as quickly and sustainably as we can.'
