Livingston manager Mark Burchill admits the club’s bid to sign Australian youngster Jacob Esposito has been held up by red tape.
The versatile right back has already agreed a deal until the end of the season but the Lions have not been able to register the player with the Scottish FA after FIFA ruled that he cannot join until the January transfer window opens.

So it appears that Esposito has signed but just can't play until January. Means he'll miss Alloa, Dumbarton, St Mirren & Falkirk but should be available for selection for Queen of the South and Morton both at home in the league then the cup on 2nd and 9th January.
Cover for the right back area wouldn't go a miss. Morgyn Neill has made it his own at the minute but if suspensions and injuries start kicking in, we've little cover. Time will tell but at least he'll have plenty of time to gel with the squad in training before getting into the games.
