Player-boss Aaron Connolly helped East Kilbride Thistle end a run of six games without a win after his Jags twice came from behind to sink Dalry Thistle.
The striker netted for the hosts before Adam Edgar hit a double and James Scott netted in a 4-2 victory at the Showpark. Connolly’s side came from 1-0 and 2-1 down to triumph in the West of Scotland Third Division clash and they moved up one spot in the table to 10th, thanks to just their second win of 2023.
