The Kilby boss takes his side back into the competition with last season's early exit serving as a warning to his players

East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy has warned his team not to be on the end of another early Scottish Cup exit, as they look to make amends for last season’s 7-0 shocker at Tranent.

Kilby also go into the game off of a painful league defeat to Lanarkshire rivals Caledonian Braves on Saturday, and Kennedy is demanding that his side don’t come a cropper again. “We just need to concentrate on getting past Gretna. We went to Tranent in the second round last season and lost heavily so it is important we are fully focused.

“With the group of players we have got, we should be hoping to get a few rounds into it, but we need to be respectful to Gretna and get past them first.
