The 32-year-old has joined on a two-year deal after leaving Charlton.

Livingston manager David Martindale has hailed a transfer "coup" after capturing Andrew Shinnie on a two-year deal.

The former Scotland cap arrives from Charlton, where he scored three goals in 29 appearances last season.

The 32-year-old was previously with Birmingham and Luton after leaving Inverness in 2013, although he spent a season on loan with Hibernian alongside Livi assistant boss Marvin Bartley.

Martindale said: "I'm over the moon to bring someone of Andrew's quality to the club. I honestly think it's a real coup for the club and testament to Livingston FC as a whole that Andrew decided to sign here for the next two seasons.

"I see Andrew operating anywhere along the front four. He is technically gifted, looks after the ball well and understands the game.

"He brings a wealth of experience to the squad and I'm sure will prove an invaluable asset going forward, both on and off the park.

"You simply don't play the number of games at the level Andrew has without being a very good footballer.

"Andrew showed a desire to come to the club from our first phone call and the board has backed both Marvin and I's judgement. Marvin played with him at Hibs and has played a big part in persuading Andrew to sign with Livingston.

"I am excited to see Andrew in a Livingston shirt and know he will prove to be a great signing."

Shinnie could feature in Wednesday's Premier Sports Cup clash with Raith Rovers.

Sunday's key events


GOLF
· The men's golf reaches its conclusion, with plenty of players still in medal contention. Home favourite Hideki Matsuyama is one shot off Xander Schauffele's lead, while Great Britain's Paul Casey is another shot further back and Tommy Fleetwood is also in the mix (11.30pm-8am)

CYCLING - BMX
· Great Britain have already made history in the BMX events in Tokyo, something Charlotte Worthington and Declan Brooks will be looking to add to in the women's (2.10am) and men's (3.10am) freestyle finals

SWIMMING
· The final day of swimming action begins with the men's 50m freestyle final. Ben Proud could add to a medal-laden Games in the pool for Team GB so far, although he is up against USA's Caeleb Dressel, who is going for his fourth gold in Tokyo (2.30am)
· From sprint to endurance, Great Britain's second medal hope of the day comes through Daniel Jervis in the men's 1500m freestyle final (2.44am)
· Team GB will again be among the heavy favourites for gold in the last swimming event of the Games - the men's 4x100m medley relay final - having won the mixed event in a world record time on Saturday (3.36am)

BOXING
· Already guaranteed at least a bronze, Pat McCormack takes part in the men's welterweight semi-final against Ireland's Aidan Walsh with a spot in the gold medal final at stake (4.03am)
· Ben Whittaker is also in the semi-finals of the men's light heavyweight and will be looking to continue Team GB's success in the ring (4.51am)

TENNIS
· There will be a surprise on the top of the men's tennis podium after Novak Djokovic missed out on a medal altogether. Alexander Zverev takes on Karen Khachanov in the second match on Centre Court at the Ariake Tennis Park (7am-2pm)

SAILING
· Alison Young will be going for gold in the women's laser radial medal race (7.33am)

ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS
· Team GB's Max Whitlock will look to defend his 2016 Olympic title in the men's pommel horse final (10.41am)

ATHLETICS
· The men's high jump final includes GB's Tom Gale, although his chances of a medal look bleak (11.10am)
· So often the blue-riband event of the Olympics, the men's 100m final takes place as the world's fastest bid to be crowned Usain Bolt's successor. Three Brits have made it into the semi-finals (11.15am-11.32am), and the final looks wide open after an underwhelming display by favourite Trayvon Bromell on Saturday (1.50pm)

HOCKEY
· Great Britain face India in the men's quarter-final (1pm)
