Almondvale Stadium had its electricity cut off last month

Livingston's pre-season friendly on Saturday against Falkirk will have to be played behind closed doors.

West Lothian Police declined a safety certificate for Almondvale Stadium following a meeting on Friday.

Supporters have been advised not to attend as they will be not be granted entry to the ground.

Livingston have until next week to contest legal action taken by West Lothian Council in a bid to reclaim outstanding rent for the stadium.

The club had been using their own generator for electricity after having their mains supply cut off because of an unpaid bill.

Livingston are continuing to plan for next season despite the possibility of being forced into administration should the council continue its court action.

"Every effort is being made to ensure that the stadium will be open for our fixture with English Coca-Cola Championship side Plymouth Argyle, scheduled for Monday 20 July, for fans to get a glimpse of John Murphy's squad for the 2009-10 campaign," said a club statement.
