United thumped Lesmahagow 3-0 at home last Wednesday night to top the League Cup’s Group 16 and book a home second round tie against Championship side Shotts next Monday, August 12, KO 6.45pm.United kit man Craig Martin told the Carluke and Lanark Gazette: “We drew 1-1 at Shotts in a pre-season friendly when ex-Shotts player Shug Kerr scored for us.“So we have no fears about playing them again.”And, thanks to Sean Lindsay’s penalty goal, Lanark followed up that cup tie win with a 1-0 home success over league favourites Ardrossan Winto Rovers in the McBookie.com League One curtain raiser on Saturday.“It was a great start,” Craig said. “Ardrossan were favourites to win the league as they’d spent the most money.“They are a strong team, an old fashioned junior side who will take a lot of points off of teams.”
