'''Dugald Livingstone''' (25 February 1898 – 15 January 1981)<ref name="complete record" /> was a Scottish [[association football|football]] player and manager.

He played fullback for [[Parkhead F.C.|Parkhead]], [[Ashfield F.C.|Ashfield]], [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], [[Dumbarton F.C.|Dumbarton]] (loan), [[Everton F.C.|Everton]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.evertonfpf.org/players/dugald-livingstone/ |title=Dugald Livingstone |publisher=evertonfpf.org |date=6 July 2011}}</ref> [[Plymouth Argyle]], [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]] and [[Tranmere Rovers F.C.|Tranmere Rovers]] during his playing career before going into management.<ref>Michael Joyce, ''Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939'', Nottingham, 2004, p. 159</ref>

Livingstone managed Dutch side [[Sparta Rotterdam]] between 1949 and 1950.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010950264:mpeg21:a0058|title=Sparta heeft een nieuwe trainer|publisher=[[Het Vrije Volk]]|language=nl|date=2 December 1949|access-date=5 February 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010950304:mpeg21:a0124|title=Livingstone verlaat Sparta weer|publisher=[[Het Vrije Volk]]|language=nl|date=26 May 1950|access-date=5 February 2021}}</ref> During his managerial career, Livingstone took charge of the [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]] from 1951 to 1953, before managing [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scottishkanaries.eu/Storys/Connections/Dugald%20Livingstone.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-04-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322225849/http://www.scottishkanaries.eu/Storys/Connections/Dugald%20Livingstone.htm |archive-date=22 March 2012 }}</ref> guiding them to the [[1954 FIFA World Cup]] and notably was in charge for the thrilling 4–4 draw with [[England national football team|England]] in the group stages.<ref name=toon1892/>

After success with Belgium he moved on to manage [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in 1954. Some supporters and staff were at first concerned that his tactics were in total contrast to those of his predecessor [[George Martin (Scottish footballer)|George Martin]], but these doubts were laid to rest when he guided the team to [[FA Cup]] victory in 1955. The Newcastle board had the final say in which players would be playing during his spell at the club and they notably played [[Jackie Milburn]] for this final, against Livingstone's wishes. Incidentally, Milburn scored in the match.<ref name=toon1892>{{cite web |url=http://www.toon1892.co.uk/detail_manager.php?id=7 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009052438/http://www.toon1892.co.uk/detail_manager.php?id=7 |archive-date=9 October 2011 |title=Doug Livingstone|work=Manager details|publisher= toon1892 |access-date=17 November 2013}}</ref>

It was largely believed that Livingstone was unhappy with the amount of influence the board had on first team issues (although he never stated this).<ref name=toon1892/> He left Newcastle in 1956 and went on to manage [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] between 1956 and 1958<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/history/managers/dugald-livingstone|title=Dugald Livingstone}}</ref> and then [[Chesterfield F.C.|Chesterfield]] until 1962.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cfchistory.com/managers-livingstone|title=Sky is Blue – the Chesterfield FC history resource|access-date=17 November 2013|archive-date=21 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150121003357/http://www.cfchistory.com/managers-livingstone|url-status=dead}}</ref>
