“Jointly, we will look to field a team in the Professional Pro Youth Scottish Cup to give players the chance to showcase their talents on the professional stage.

LK Galaxy’s Stu Brown added: "As a relatively new club, we are excited to form this partnership with an established local club like Camelon Juniors who have over 100 years of history in Scottish football. We will continue to provide a platform for our players to develop and display their skills at Little Kerse and by establishing the partnership with Camelon Juniors, it completes a full pathway from grassroots through to senior football for our players."
