runners-up the following season but were denied promotion to the Premier Division due to a streamlining of the size of the division.
The club suffered from the restructuring of the Scottish Football League in the 1994–95 season. Having finished mid-table in Division One, they were relegated to Division Two because the league was scrapping its format of two 12-club and one 14-club divisions in favour of four divisions of 10 clubs. Meadowbank suffered a second successive relegation in 1994–95, finishing second from bottom in Division Two. After this, Chairman Bill Hunter claimed Meadowbank had run into severe financial difficulties and were facing closure as a result (a claim hotly disputed by most supporters). As a result, and in the face of significant opposition from many Meadowbank fans who objected to the dropping of the club name and the team moving from Edinburgh, in 1995 Meadowbank Thistle

While Livingston seemed doomed, a meeting with the Scottish Football League on July 30 secured their future, as they agreed to allow prospective new owners Gordon McDougall and Neil Rankine run the club for the following season.
