THE top-team stars of Livingston FC brought festive cheer and armfuls of presents to the youngsters in the children’s ward of St John’s Hospital this week.

Some of the patients were treated to an afternoon of pictures and autographs and were able to ask their favourite players questions about life as a football star.

Supermarket firm Morrisons and Marks and Spencer kindly donated a host of gifts including selection boxes, colouring books and jigsaws which the players handed out to some of their youngest fans.

Everyone involved with the club would like to thank Morrisons and Marks and Spencer for their kind donation.

The visit of the Lions, which included club captain Liam Fox and manager Gary Bollan, brought big smiles to the faces of the children in the ward just four nights before Santa is due to visit.
