Cole’s early strike as Cuikie stretch Partick

Blair Henderson, opened the scoring after 21 minutes, heading home a Danny Handling cross. He then made it 2-0 three minutes later, firing past Annan keeper Chris Smith from a tight angle.

Jonny Court looked to have put the home side in an unassailable position when he made in 3-0 shortly after with a fine individual effort, but an early second-half strike from Nathan Flanagan gave Annan a glimmer of hope.

Alex Harris looked to have killed off the visitors chances when he slotted the ball home to make it 4-1 almost immediately.

However, a penalty from Tommy Muir, awarded after Edinburgh goalkeeper Aidan Macadams had fouled Flanagan, restored their hopes, and Flanagan’s 80th-minute close-range strike ensured a jittery finale for the Ainslie Park men. inverurie 0 Broxburn ath 1

Broxburn’s Scottish Cup run continues thanks to a tactically perfect afternoon in Inverurie.

They kept things tight at the back and probed on the counter-attack in what was a goalless first half.

On 68 minutes Alex Miller’s effort across the face of goal was miraculously cleared off the line by Ryan Broadhurst. With eight minutes left Connor Wallace made a great low save to deny Callum Dingwall and on the breakaway Miller beat Andy Reid with a superb dipping shot fit to win any cup tie.

At the break, Alloa trailed to Rory Macewan’s low finish on 25 minutes from a Kane Hester through ball.

On-loan Kilmarnock keeper Jamie Macdonald also had to make fine saves from Elgin’s Brian Cameron and Shane Sutherland either side of the goal to prevent Alloa from going further behind.

However, the visitors were dominant after the break and Scott Taggart smashed in an equaliser.

That 48th-minute strike was the catalyst for the Alloa revival and, within nine minutes, they were ahead through Kevin Cawley’s 20-yarder. On 63 minutes, O’hara prodded home No. 3.

After good work from John Baird, Rovers took an early lead through Kieron Bowie’s header.

Thereafter, Peterhead largely dominated proceedings, but Jim Mcinally’s visitors could not find a way past Ross Munro in the Rovers goal.

Rory Mcallister nearly levelled for the Blue Toon in the 32nd minute, as his effort was cleared desperately off the line.

Mcallister was involved in an altercation with Rovers’ Daniel Armstrong on half-time, leading to a melee but no yellow cards were issued by the referee.

With every Peterhead player forward for a stoppage-time corner, including goalkeeper Greg Fleming, the Blue Toon’s cup hopes were killed off when Paddy Boyle headed their last chance wide.
