East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy insists he is delighted to land the toughest tie possible in the third round of the Scottish Cup after being drawn at home to Championship leaders Falkirk next month.

Lowland League champions Kilby knocked an SPFL side out of competition for the third time this season on Saturday when they sent League Two Bonnyrigg Rose crashing out in a 3-1 win, adding to the scalps of Cove Rangers and Airdrie in the SPFL Trust Trophy.

Now their biggest test so far awaits on the weekend of November 30 after Sunday’s Scottish Cup draw at Hampden paired them with John McGlynn’s high-flying Bairns.

There is also an added edge to the tie for Kennedy, with Falkirk being the side who knocked his Darvel team out of the competition in 2023 when they had just stunned Aberdeen.
