Andy Ryan admits it would be a "disaster" if Hamilton Accies don't progress in the Scottish Cup after they were paired with Lowland League East Kilbride in the third round draw.
But the Accies striker is looking forward to taking on his former Stirling Albion boss Kevin Rutkiewicz - now the EK boss - when the sides meet at New Douglas Park next month, which will see fellow Accies stars Ronan Hughes and Kyle Munro return to the club following their summer switches to K-Park.
Striker Ryan knows Accies will go into the tie as huge favourites, playing three tiers above their rivals, and is all too aware of how wrong it can go at this stage of the competition, following last season's shock third round exit to West of Scotland League outfit Auchinleck Talbot.
