East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz reckons referee Gordon Seago gave 10-man Kilby an added incentive to see out their Scottish Cup win over Deveronvale - as he revealed the bizarre reason Motherwell loanee Logan Dunachie saw red.
In an action-packed contest at Princes Royal Park in Aberdeenshire, East Kilbride ran out 4-2 winners to book their place in the second round and set up an all-Lowland League tie with Caledonian Braves next month.
But they had to do it the hard way after being reduced to 10 men when Dunachie picked up a second booking 20 minutes from time for telling the referee to ‘stop getting so close to his face.’
