Halkett has probably played his last match for Livingston – Holt

Livingston manager Gary Holt admits Craig Halkett has probably played his last game for the club. The defender will join Hearts in the summer and sat out Saturdays 1-0 defeat to Dundee with a groin injury.The Almondvale side round off their Ladbrokes Premiership campaign against Motherwell and Holt says he wont risk Halkett for a meaningless game.He said: I think Craig probably has played his last game for the club. He has signed a pre-contract with Hearts and I am not going to jeopardise that for him for the sake of one match.We have nothing to play for and he has a long career ahead of him. Im making that decision but Craig has been honest.He said in the last day or so that he wasnt right and this is a guy would play with a broken leg. Craig took responsibility and said hes really sore in the groin area. Rest is the best cure and this is a good time with the summer break coming up.Dundee manager Jim McIntyre will meet with the clubs managing director John Nelms on Monday for talks on his and Dundees future following relegation to the Championship.They managed to end a sequence of 10 successive defeats with victory on Saturday and McIntyre was pleased to see his players finally getting their rewards after a difficult spell.He said: All we could do here was be professional and try and restore a wee bit of pride by winning the game and weve done that.We created some decent opportunities on a pitch which was sticky and didnt help the game to flow. All in all, Im really pleased that we managed to win the game.The one accusation I cant make is a lack of application. Weve always had that its our lack of quality thats let us down at key moments in games and well hold our hands up for that.I was really delighted for the players because its been a difficult week and its a horrible feeling (being relegated), not one I want to experience again. Im just glad we stopped the rot.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
