Liam Scullion reckons a loan at East Kilbride will build him up to be a better player in future.
The 18-year-old joined the Lowland League side last month from Premiership side Hamilton Accies, and says he will benefit from playing with and against sturdier opponents than he otherwise would in the Development League.
Speaking at the launch of Lanarkshire Live Sport, the midfielder said: “Being on loan is good. It’s good to go into a different dressing room with men, to talk about different things from what we do, experience different things and just have different bits of banter, and stuff.
“I’m up against tougher and more physical players which is going to be a test for me, but it’s good. Playing is going to benefit me, but playing against men, who are more physical, harder players is going to benefit me more in the future."
Scullion’s hope for the rest of the season is to help Kilby climb the table, following a difficult season for the defending Lowland Champions, who currently sit seventh in the table.
He added: “My hope for the rest of this season is just to keep playing.
“For me personally I just want to play more games, get more time on the pitch, and just keep progressing.
“Mid-table isn’t really good for Kilby, but I think they can climb it.”
