David Martindale's side missed out on the top six last time out
Manager David Martindale missed Livingston's Scottish Premiership win at Aberdeen on Saturday after spending a night in hospital.
The 47-year-old was taken in on Friday with severe abdominal pain, which has been diagnosed as kidney stones. The club say he is recovering well.
Assistant Marvin Bartley was in charge for the 2-1 win at Pittodrie in the club's first bottom-six fixture, albeit the former midfielder was confined to the stand as he himself is serving a touchline ban.
Livingston missed out on a top-six finish following a late Motherwell equaliser last time out as Aberdeen fell short after a home loss to Ross County.
