East Kilbride are set to try out their new pitch in a pre-season friendly against Championship newcomers Queen's Park in 10 days' time - provided that the surface is ready.
It's a provisional booking at K-Park on Saturday, July 16, against the Championship play-off winners, who beat Airdrie in the final last season, but Rutkiewicz reckons it will be a very good test for side ahead of their Lowland League opener against Tranent on July 23.
Rutkiewicz says Spiders boss Owen Coyle has promised to send a strong side to give them a good work-out.
