East Kilbride completed their biggest target last weekend, securing promotion to League Two at the expense of Bonnyrigg Rose via the playoffs.
Winning the Lowland League, the South Challenge Cup and the Lowland League Cup, alongside promotion, it has been a successful loan stint with Kilby this season for the goalkeeper.

Dylan Wells
After signing a new deal at Motherwell in the summer of 2024, Wells joined Edinburgh City on a season-long loan deal.
Playing 17 games and starting 12, Wells helped the Citizens achieve a playoff spot, something that seemed impossible at the start of the campaign. Edinburgh finished third in League Two, and although beating East Fife 1-0 in the first leg of the semi-final, Dick Campbell’s side won over the two legs, ensuring City remain in League Two next season.
- Appearances: 17

- Assists: 0
Filip Stuparevic
Filip Stuparevic joined Championship side Morton and helped them finish sixth in the table. Although they finished a few points outside the playoffs, they were well clear of the bottom end of the table.
Stuparevic was on six goals when he picked up an ACL injury that brought an end to his loan spell at the club early in February. However, he still picked up Morton’s top goalscorer award and will be looking forward to getting back on the pitch later in 2025.
- Appearances: 18
- Goals: 6
- Assists: 1
Mark Ferrie
Mark Ferrie’s Bonnyrigg Rose endured a tricky season in League Two and were defeated by East Kilbride in the playoffs, meaning they now drop out of the SPFL.
Ferrie still managed 30 games for Rose, starting 16 matches.
- Appearances: 30
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 0
Luca Ross
Luca Ross started 20 games for Annan Athletic, however their season also ended on a sombre note. Finishing ninth in League One, they beat Elgin City in the semi-final of the relegation playoff but were beaten over two legs by East Fife and dropped down to League Two.
L. Ross played every minute of the four playoff matches, as well as starting 16 league matches during the 24/25 season. He signed a new deal with Motherwell earlier this year and will now look to kick on in pre-season.
