Former East Kilbride Thistle boss Alan Paterson will be laid to rest this week after his tragic death last month at the age of just 44.
The much-loved ex-Showpark player, was a popular figure around the town through his day job as a postal worker for Royal Mail and was respected across the local football community for his spells at the Jags, Lowland League East Kilbride FC and amateur outfit East Kilbride YM, where his brother Ian is currently assistant manger of the Greater Glasgow Premier League team.
