David Martindale heaped praise on his side after they bounced back from a run of poor results to keep their top six bid alive thanks to a 2-0 win over St Johnstone.
A fine first-half display - which was much more like the Lions at their best - produced well-taken goals from Joel Nouble and Stephen Kelly as the Lions were roared on by a bumper crowd thanks to the club handing out over 4000 tickets to the local community.
The result means it all goes down to the wire next weekend with Livi needing to win away from home against Dundee United while also requiring St Mirren to lose at home to Kilmarnock or Hibs to drop points at McDiarmid Park.
But the gaffer insists the club deserve huge credit even if they fall short.
He said: “It’s testament to everybody at the club that Livingston Football Club are fighting to get into the top six on match day 33.
“For me that is success for the football club. Most years we’re the favourites for relegation and that’s us broken the record for staying in the Premiership.
“I think I can safely say that now, Livingston have never before in their history remained in the Premiership for a sixth season and this group of players and staff have managed to do that. Bar the first season, most years we’re fighting for the top six.”
He added: “We can only control our own situation and that’s how we’ll look at it going to Tannadice.
“There’s nothing that says we’ve a divine right to pick up three points there.”
