Rutherglen ace Craig Howie thought playing Celtic in the Scottish Cup would be a once in a lifetime opportunity - now he’s preparing for his third crack at the Hoops in six years.
The Alloa defender admits it’s a surreal feeling as he gears up for another huge clash, following his first outing in 2016 with Lowland League East Kilbride and a second go with League One Clyde in 2020.
When East Kilbride fell to a 2-0 defeat at Airdrie’s Excelsior Stadium in a last 16 tie, it was Ronny Deila at the helm and the 3-0 last 16 exit with the Bully Wee came when Neil Lennon was in charge.
