    In 2016 @seemescotland helped fund a film project and I was selected. It’s played festivals but for #TimeToTalk Day we're releasing it publicly for the first time. This is me. This is my story. 📞Rape Crisis Scotland 08088 01 03 02 📞Samaritans 116 123

    17 years to the day since my rapist walked free from court. Since, I've waived anonymity to write about it in two national newspapers. Made a film about it. Finished my degree. Got another degree. Got married. Became a dad. Bought a house. I'm 10 years into my dream career. I won

    Livingston have won four straight games against Hibs in the space of eight months. Hibs have had a different manager in each of those games.

    The previous Livingston manager had a Kilmarnock tattoo on his leg. Did anyone ever question whether Gary Holt tried less against Kilmarnock? No. Cos that would be a stupid thing to think.

    Honestly, I'd be in favour of another 6 month lockdown if it meant Arbroath got promoted to the Scottish Premiership.

    There's a police station next to Hampden. Last time I saw that building I was 19, alcohol and cocaine addict, uni drop out on my way to see if I could spot my rapist in an ID parade. Today, I was a 34 year old, married father of one doing my dream job. It's just sunk in.

    Passed my driving test today. Mental health was so bad for so long that it took me 13 years to get to the point where I thought I wouldn't be a danger to myself and start learning. Honestly never thought I'd get to this point. But there ye go. Good times.

    Time to get a proper pyramid in place underneath League Two. None of this win your league then two rounds of play-offs to get promoted nonsense. It's really not even a shock anymore when tier 6 teams defeat SPFL sides in the cup.

    Liam Kelly, Craig Halkett, Shaun Byrne and Scott Pittman all started in Livingston's 2-1 defeat to Albion Rovers in League One two seasons ago in front of 702 fans, and today's 0-0 draw away to Celtic in the Premiership in front of 58,850 fans.

    I know you shouldn't judge a player on one game, but I'm going to anyway. Robby McCrorie is the dug's baws. He was outstanding tonight.
