East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz has suffered a huge blow in their Lowland League title bid after learning loan stars Curtis Lyle and Luke Kenny won't be extending their stays at K-Park beyond January.
And that could soon turn into a triple blow for Kilby with defender Logan Dunachie already back at parent club Motherwell, with his chances of returning rated '50/50' by Rutkiewicz.
Goalkeeper Lyle has been released by Kilmarnock this week and it is understood he could now follow in the footsteps of former Kilby keeper Conor Brennan by making the switch from K-Park to Stenhousemuir in League Two. Warriors No.1 Brennan was injured at the weekend and the Ochilview side are keen to make Lyle his replacement, although other clubs are also interested in Lyle's services.
