East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz expects their Scottish Cup clash with Deveronvale to be played like a derby match - because their hosts don't care much for sides from the Central Belt.
The former Aberdeen defender says he is speaking from experience having spent seven years with the Pittodrie side and faced Deveronvale a couple of times during his stint up north in the Aberdeenshire Cup.
And the 42-year-old, who made more than 50 appearances for the Dons, believes Deveronvale will be pumped up to claim a cup scalp over Kilby in the first round tie at Princes Royal Park on Saturday.
