Hearts set to face East Kilbride as Derek McInnes brings Jambos to K-Park for friendly.
The freshly promoted League Two team will face a tough test from the Premiership side.
Kilby manager Mick Kennedy has confirmed to Lanarkshire Live Sport that the battle with the capital club is virtually complete, but it will not be open to the public. He stated: “The Hearts’ first team will attend, but it will be a behind-closed-doors game. We are just waiting to see which of the two dates will be used.
East Kilbride players celebrate their promotion to League Two. We now have adequate respect in the leagues for the quality of our club. We’ve always posed a significant challenge while playing against a team that is ranked higher than us. “With where Hearts will be in their pre-season at that stage, it will most likely be a difficult enough game for them to prepare for more difficult friendlies. It is suitable for both clubs. “With Derek going in there, he will be building his own group and looking to fine tune, but it is something we are all loooking forward to.”Regarding the Dunfermline game, Kennedy stated, “Neil will be looking to challenge for the Championship and get into the Premiership as soon as possible.” It’ll be exciting to have Neil and his team here. “It’s a good test for us before the League Cup section gets going.”
