Spartans progressed to the second round of the Lowland League Cup with a 3-0 win over East Kilbride at K-Park.

Blair Carswell saved McNeil’s spot kick on the stroke of half time after the two tangled as the East Kilbride player raced in on goal.

Spartans passage to Round 2 was complete when David Greenhill rounded off proceedings late on.

Adam Corbett made his senior debut when the Under 20s captain came on as a late replacement for Townsley.

Spartans: Carswell, Herd, Stevenson, Townsley (Corbett), Tolmie, Brown, Beesley, Maxwell (Turnbull), Allum (Dawson), Dishington, Greenhill.  Subs: Dawson, Corbett, Turnbull, Hay, Gilpin (GK)
