East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz has revealed he told Hamilton Accies star Andy Ryan he should be ‘quaking in his boots’ after they were paired with the Championship side in the third round of the Scottish Cup.
Ryan played under Rutkiewicz when he was manager at Stirling Albion and now the duo will be reunited next month when they clash at New Douglas Park in an intriguing South Lanarkshire derby.
Added to the sub-plot is the fact ex-Accies kids Ronan Hughes and Kyle Munro are now plying their trade at EK, so it sets up a fascinating encounter.
