East Kilbride boss Chris Aitken says his side have proven they can match SPFL teams after a heart-breaking Scottish Cup fourth round exit via penalty kicks.
Kilby striker Joao Victoria’s double at Peterhead was cancelled out by efforts from ex-EK star Russell McLean and Andrew McCarthy.
Aitken’s Lowland League squad took their League One hosts all the way, but they could not prevail and miss out on a home tie in the last 16 against Premiership side Dundee after a 5-3 shootout defeat.
