East Kilbride boss Chris Aitken praised hat-trick hero Cammy Elliot then revealed the Kilby striker wasn’t chuffed to get substituted during a thumping 5-2 win over Gala Fairydean Rovers.
Aitken was pleased to see his ‘patchwork’ side sweep Gala aside, with the match switched to Netherdale at short-notice due to a snow-covered K-Park.
The venue change (EK now host Gala in the reverse fixture on March 19) meant a number of Kilby players were unavailable, but it didn’t seem to affect them as Elliot hit a treble, while Neil McLaughlin and Joao Victoria also netted.
