Stenhousemuir manager Marvin Bartley has not spoken to Livingston sporting director David Martindale since resigning from the West Lothian club at the end of last season.
The two sides face each other for the first time in the Scottish Championship on Friday evening in front of the BBC Scotland cameras.
Back in May, Bartley and ***** istant Neil Hastings said they "had no option but to resign" after being asked to reapply for their positions with Livi.
The former Hibernian, Livingston and Bournemouth midfielder took charge at Almondvale in January, stepping up from a backroom role once Martindale moved into a new position.
"No, I've not seen or spoken to Davie since leaving the football club," said Bartley.
