Ged Nixon is a Scottish businessman who was previously a director of professional football club Livingston.
In July 2009, Nixon, Neil Rankine, Andy Gemmell and Gordon McDougall were part of the Livingston 5 Consortium that bought Livingston, who were facing a financial crisis under the ownership of Italian lawyer Angelo Massone. [1] While Livingston seemed doomed, a meeting with the Scottish Football League on 30 July 2009 secured their future, as an agreement was reached to allow Livingston 5 to run the club for the following season. The next day, Massone sold his shares to the Livingston 5 Constortium and left the club. [2] [3]
Nixon resigned from his role at Livingston in October 2013 and initiated legal action for repayment of a directors loan of over £300k. [4] [5] In March 2021, Livingston announced that they had agreed a settlement with Nixon. [6]
In 2014, Nixon was banned from being a company director for four years for failing to comply with statutory obligations to make payments due to HMRC. This followed the liquidation of his company Pres Dec Limited. [7]
