East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz has warned his players against complacency after the Lowland League leaders moved clear at the top of the table.

Kilby are two points ahead of Rangers B – who can’t be crowned champions as per the rules of their inclusion in the fifth tier – and six points in front of third place Caledonian Braves after eight games.

Rutkiewicz watched EK come from behind to earn a last-gasp 3-2 victory at Spartans on Saturday to pick up their seventh win of the season, but with the visit of East Stirling tonight and Edinburgh Uni on Saturday to come, he says they can’t take the foot off the gas against some of the so-called smaller teams.

He said: “It’s a big week for us and I think we’d all agree that, on paper, we’ve done the hard bit of this week going to Spartans and winning at a very difficult venue against a very good team. “So our next two homes games are so big because we can’t get complacent. “We need to treat these teams like we are playing a Rangers B, Celtic B or a Spartans.
