East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz believes it would be common sense for matches to be brought forward this winter to tackle the cost of living crisis, after the Scottish Football Association announced clubs in the Scottish Cup will be welcome to move fixtures.

Last week the game’s governing body wrote to all participating clubs announcing they would be permitted to move games from the traditional 3pm kick-off to reduce energy and heating costs.

And it is understood all levels of senior football would also be open to the move as bills are set to take a massive spike when darker nights and colder weather draws in.

Rutkiewicz hopes that is the case and insists he would be fully behind it, as he feels it is in the best interest of the game in general.
