Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale's potential glamour tie with Celtic won't be taking place at the club's home ground, according to their manager.

The local side have to get past East Kilbride next week if they're to get the chance to slay the Glasgow giants.

If they do that though, it likely won't be at Saughton Enclosure.

Manager Raymond Carr said: "I've not really sat down and had a conversation with anyone regarding that tie "I think the club istelf will make moves to have the game changed to (be played at) a better ground."

He's urged his players not to be distracted by the potential Celtic clash: "All concentration's going into the job at hand - playing East Kilbride.

"(We) can't think about playing Celtic - we've really got to concentrate on this round, and that's where i'm putting all my focus at this moment in time."

Lothian Thistle Hutchiston Vale take on East Kilbride on Wednesday 20th January.
