Free-scoring East Kilbride hit 100 goals for the season, but it took a half-time rollicking from boss Mick Kennedy to get them there in Saturday’s comeback win over Gretna.Kilby trailed their hosts 1-0 at the break after David Cox’s 15th minute opener, but the league leaders were given the hairdryer treatment during the interval and the players responded with four second half goals to reach a century of strikes in all competitions this term.Andy Stirling equalised in 50 minutes before Keir Samson bagged a brace and Aaron Arnott sealed the win 10 minutes from time, putting EK eight points clear going into their double-header with Albion Rovers this week.Kennedy said: “We were miles off it in the first half.

That was as poor as we’ve been all season.“It is remarkable that we can go from such a dominant dislay against Celtic B in the last game [a 2-0 win] and then put in a 45 minutes like that.

But credit to Gretna for their performance.“There were a few choice words at half-time about getting back to the gameplan we spoke about, and it turned into total domination.“The truth of the matter is it shouldn’t take me pointing things out and losing the plot a bit.“That’s not the type of manager I want to be, but we got the reaction we needed.”On the goals tally, he added: “We are quite expansive and attack-minded.

You hope the outcome of that will be goals and we have scored a lot of goals now.“But it doesn’t matter how many goals you score, it is about how many points you pick up.“We’ve done nothing yet and I keep reminding everybody about that, there is a long way to go.”Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onX via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
