weeneily 1,460 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Back page of my weekly East Kilbride News tonight. I checked it wasn't the annual April fool story. East Kilbride FC are in talks to bring former Rangers star Nacho Novo to K-Park. In what would be a sensational piece of business by the Lowland League side, Kilby boss Martin Lauchlan is aiming to make the diminutive Spaniard the biggest signing in the club's short history. The News understands initial talks have taken place between the 37-year-old striker and club bosses, with more talks planned for tomorrow when it is believed Novo will meet with Lauchlan for the first time. Novo, who spent six years at Ibrox between 2004-10 and won three league titles, has just returned from a spell in America with Carolina Railhawks. Lauchlan has previous for signing a high-profile former Old Firm star. In February both he and assistant Carlo Girasoli struck a deal to bring ex-Celtic ace Bobby Petta to Junior side Rossvale. Tiny Kilby, who played Celtic in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup earlier this year, have a home capacity of around 600 and signing a player of Novo's stature would certainly put bums on seats at K-Park next season. A source close to the club said: "There is definite interest and East Kilbride FC are working hard to bring Nacho to K-Park. "It's a deal that could very well happen. "This would be the biggest signing in Lowland League history if they can pull it off." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo84 182 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Smart move by EK, would help drive up crowd numbers now that they have planning permission for a new 4000 seat stadium. He'd run riot in the lowland league, even Robbie and Davie Winters manage to look like superstars playing for Pollok Juniors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirk bear 1,020 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Heard at ibrox this morning that Nacho is doing the Cooper suite at home games next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big blue Fin 3,724 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Good luck to him he was a great player for us and always put in a decent shift. Might even be worth going to see EK just to support Nacho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
