Cup upset is a delight for Coupar

-

Coupar Angus were in celebrator­y mode on Saturday evening after defeating North Region Super League side Montrose Roselea 3-1.

The Fox hall Park men’ s Scottish Junior Cup adventure was continued thanks to goals from Ross Wilson, Alex Gibb and Tom Casey.

Manager Logan McConachie said: “We were over the moon with the result as the guys put a huge per for mance in and adapted to the famous Montrose wind well.

“There was a big belief before the game that we would go through, as we altered the shape and plan specifical­ly for this game.

“We’ re just happy to be through and to notch-up a wee bit of history for the club.

“There was a lot of talk of another away day after the game as we seem to get a positive result when we travel by bus!”

Coupar’s scheduled weekend match with Dundee Violet has been postponed owing to a Scottish Cup replay involving the side from the City of Discovery.

The side from Foxhall Park are hoping to arrange a friendly fixture in order to fill the void.
