Daryl Meikle knew Lanark United had a chance of sneaking promotion at the end of last season, but bowed out anyway, feeling he had taken them as far as he could.
Meikle took a step back with home town team Lesmahagow in the West of Scotland Second Division, and says the ambitious club presents a refreshing new challenge.
They're targeting the title this term, even though eight will be promoted to the First Division due to Lowland League reconstruction in 2026/27.
