Cumbernauld Colts boss David Proctor was frustrated his side came away from his old stomping ground empty-handed as East Kilbride ran out winners on his hometown homecoming.
The 38-year-old spent four years at East Kilbride as a player and coach and came agonisingly close to taking something from his old side on his first match at K-Park as a gaffer.
It looked like it might be Cumbernauld's day when Colts keeper Ryan Adamson made a top save to deny Neil McLaughlin from the penalty spot just after the hour mark.
