East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz admits his side must now rely on others in their quest for Lowland League glory after a costly defeat to leaders Spartans on Saturday.And with title chasing Rangers B and Celtic B unable to be promoted, Rutkiewicz admits the Old Firm sides could do them a favour in the bid for a shot at SPFL football next season.The K-Park side went into the Spartans clash having slipped up at home to Broomhill last midweek in a 1-1 draw, leaving no room for error when the pacesetters came calling.But a stunning free-kick from ex-EK man Cammy Russell in the first half inflicted a 1-0 defeat and put a real dent in Kilby’s title hopes, leaving them in sixth spot and sixth points behind Spartans.Gutted Rutkiewicz, whose side also trail Celtic B, Tranent, Rangers B and Stirling Uni, admitted: “It has been a tough week.
It’s still very sore, very raw.“We didn’t play badly on Saturday but I still don’t think we did enough to win the game.“A bit of magic won the game and both goalkeepers didn’t have a lot to do.
It was a nervy game and both teams knew there was a lot at stake.“Teams are ahead of us, it is out of our hands, so we’ve just got to go and try to win every game and see where it takes us.“We are now relying on others.
That’s just the maths. It’s not a defeatist attitude.“We also want Celtic and Rangers [who can’t compete for promotion] to keep on winning now, I suppose.
