A van with Ajax branding drove on to the K-Park pitch after the game on Saturday carrying 27 crates of beer and a message from Ajax marketing director Edwin van der Sar.
"On behalf of Ajax, I congratulate East Kilbride FC with this amazing achievement of 27 consecutive wins and beating Ajax's record. Have a beer on us. In fact, have 27. Cheers guys," the former Ajax, Juventus and Manchester United goalkeeper said in a video message.
Because East Kilbride play in Scotland's fifth-tier, Ajax's record, set when the team were led by former Netherlands great Johan Cruyff, still stands for successive wins in the top flight.
