East Kilbride FC have been steadily on the rise for a number of years, having just broken into the pyramid to play in League Two next season.
Mick Kennedy and Si Ferry’s men defeated Bonnyrigg Rose in the playoff final to make it into the SPFL for the first time in the young outfit’s short history.
Ahead of the huge campaign the transfer business is already well underway.
Ex-Kelty Hearts and Partick Thistle midfielder James Lyon, East Fife‘s Jack Healy, and star of Edinburgh City and Love Island Ouzy See have signed up.

They also snapped up 6ft 4in Slovakian centre half Erik Sula who was most recently at Stirling Albion.
But the latest signing is very different and EKFC had some thinking they’d pulled off a massive coup to sign ex-Ibrox star John Lundstram!
They posted a clip on social media of the Englishman’s goal which completed a stunning European comeback against German side RB Leipzig back in May 2022.
The 3-2 victory on aggregate saw them through to the final of the competition in which they were defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties.
The video – shared with the classic signing teaser caption of eyes and pen emojis – had supporters saying ‘no chance surely’ and ‘I don’t understand’.
But it was all made clear soon after as the club confirmed that commentator Callum Patterson is returning to K-Park.
His voice can be heard in the Rangers clip describing the moment: “Keeper’s made a mess of this, oh and it’s going to go in, it’s Lundstram!
“And Rangers have got a third goal, they’re back in front in the tie!
“John Lundstram slides his knees into the corner, into the fans!”
EKFC said in their post they’re ‘thrilled’ to welcome him back to commentary duties for match highlights, bringing a ‘wealth of experience’ with him.
One replied that it was the ‘strangest announcement I’ve seen’, while another commented: “Teaser video for a commentator, Scottish football never change.”
