East Kilbride FC have been reinstated to the South Challenge Cup after rivals Auchinleck Talbot were booted out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player.
Kilby fell to a 1-0 defeat in Ayrshire last week in a last 16 clash at Beechwood Park, but it transpired that defending champions Talbot fielded goalkeeper Joshua Bradley-Hurst when he had represented Clydebank against Pollok earlier in the competition.
Ironically, Kilby's Aiden McDonald also played in that clash for Clydebank alongside Bradley-Hurst and he was cup tied for the Talbot game.
