Kevin Rutkiewicz said the return of Neil McLaughlin was a joy to watch as East Kilbride came from behind to batter Lanark United with a devastating second half display.
The Kilby boss, whose side lost 1-0 to Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League last week, was staring at a South Challenge Cup second round exit at half-time on Saturday, with the visitors trailing by a single goal.
However, EK equalised 90 seconds after the re-start through Kyle Munro before a further strike from the ex-Hamilton Accies man, a Reece McGuire effort and a double from McLaughlin earned a 5-1 victory.
