Scottish Cup Review

Eight teams reached the quarter-finals

Eight cinch SPFL teams progressed to the Scottish Cup Quarter-Finals after an entertaining weekend of fifth round ties.

Greenock Morton, of the cinch Championship, knocked out top-flight Motherwell after a thrilling 2-1 victory at a rowdy Cappielow on Friday night.

Saturday saw five matches with Livingston producing a strong comeback from 2-0 down to edge out Partick Thistle 3-2 after extra time thanks to a last-gasp winner from Tete Yengi.

Bojan Miovski was at the double for Aberdeen as Neil Warnock’s first home match in charge of the Reds ended in a 2-0 triumph over a spirited Bonnyrigg Rose. Kilmarnock beat Cove Rangers by the same scoreline at Rugby Park with Marley Watkins and substitute Danny Armstrong on target for Killie.

Jamie Carragher made the trip to the Highlands to watch his son James in action for Inverness CT against Hibernian but it was the visitors who reached the next round with a 3-1 victory to take home to Edinburgh.

Rangers defeated Ayr United 2-0 at Ibrox in Saturday’s late match thanks to a deflected strike from Borna Barisic and a second-half goal from Fabio Silva.

Sunday saw holders Celtic continue their defence as Japanese pair Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda found the net to see off St. Mirren.

Heart of Midlothian were the final side to make it through as a double from Lawrence Shankland added to goals from Kenneth Vargas and Calem Nieuwenhof as the Jam Tarts defeated Airdrieonians 4-1 in Lanarkshire.
