Aaron Connolly climbed off the bench in the 2-2 draw on Saturday but says he won't be making regular appearances
East Kilbride Thistle boss Aaron Connolly dusted down his boots and climbed off the bench to help his depleted side to a 2-2 draw with St Peter’s on Saturday.The 33-year-old saw his squad decimated by injuries, illness and holidays and was forced to throw himself on in the second half of Saturday’s West of Scotland Fourth Division clash at the Showpark.
Connolly admitted his side’s display meant they were barely deserving of their point but, given the circumstances, he was happy to take something from it. “To be fair, we showed resolve and steeliness to get ourselves a point out of it. I put us 2-1 up with 15 minutes to go but then we conceded an equaliser. On the balance of play, St Peter’s were worthy of that point and probably more.Asked if he could play regularly, he added: “The question has been asked a few times but my playing days are over. My full focus is on trying to develop the players we have and continue to push the club forward.
That is something Connolly feels has come at the perfect time for his struggling squad. He said: “The break is going to work out well for us. We play Rossvale and then we are without a game on Saturday.
