ELATED Livingston manager David Hopkin says that he will sit down with the club’s board over the summer to discuss his future after guiding his men to a stunning win over Partick Thistle in the Ladbrokes Premiership Play-off final.

Hopkin’s men secured their remarkable rise to the top flight by sealing back-to-back promotions with a 3-1 aggregate win.

Hopkin’s contract is up this summer, but he says that the celebrations were uppermost in his mind before thinking about where he will be working next season.

“My future always gets tied up in the summer,” Hopkin said. “There might be speculation and people are trying to get me to say stuff but there’s nothing on the table.

“I’ve spoken to the board and we’ll chat again, probably on Tuesday now. We’ll have a good night, the players deserve credit and I’ve always been open with the board.

“I’ve said always if anything comes along they’ve always been very good with me and both parties are honest enough. We’ll see where the talks take us.

“Interest is going to come when you get promoted, at least you’re doing your job right and are not being pushed out the door. When I took the job on I wanted to make sure I was here long term and I’ve now been here for more than 120 games and it has been mostly successful but it’s down to hard work by the playing staff and the players.

“I’m looking forward to tonight, a week off and then everything else will take care of itself once the dust settles.”

Defeated Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald, meanwhile, says that it is too soon to think about his own future after the Firhill club were relegated to the Championship.

In the aftermath of the game, an emotional Archibald conceded that there will be cuts across the club and huge changes to the playing staff, but whether there will be a change in the dugout remains to be seen.

“It is very raw, and I haven’t thought about my future,” Archibald said. “There will be changes but we have to make sure they are right for the club.

“There has been a lot of good work put in over the last five years and it is important we don’t wreck it. There will be changes and cuts all over, so it is important we are in a good place to come back up."
