East Kilbride Thistle boss Aaron Connolly admits the next week is “as big as it comes” as they look to pull off a great relegation escape on the 40th anniversary of the club’s Junior Cup win.

But now the Jags are staring at one of their darkest days as they bid to avoid the drop to the lowest tier of the West of Scotland League.
