THE OPPOSITION

East Kilbride were promoted to SPFL League Two for the start of this coming season thanks to a two-legged playoff win against Bonnyrigg Rose at the end of the last campaign.

Manager Mick Kennedy has been putting his squad through its paces across the past couple of weeks and they have played friendlies against the likes of Dunfermline (1-0 win) and Greenock Morton (2-2 draw).
