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.

Meikle (pictured, right) said: “I'm from Lesmahagow. I felt as if I had taken Lanark as far as I could and I felt that a fresh start would be best for me, for Lanark, and for really all the parties.
