East Kilbride boss Chris Aitken says he wants to snap up Neil McLaughlin on a new deal as soon as possible to fend off any suitors who may have witnessed his superb showing in Saturday’s win over Bo’ness Athletic.
The midfielder fired a stunning strike into the top corner before netting from the penalty spot in a 4-1 win to book Kilby’s place in the South Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
That was McLaughlin’s fourth goal in three games and took him up to 18 goals for the season. Only striker Joao Victoria on 21 goals has netted more this term.
