The weather may have gotten the better of the Scottish Cup games at Forfar, Brechin and Inverurie, but there was plenty of action in the other fixtures taking place. We round up the Scottish Cup action with the reports from the various club sites (where possible) and some nice piccies, thanks to the BBC.
Scottish Cup Fourth Round
- Ayr United continue their good run of results against Kilmarnock as they fight back to earn another replay (2-2)
- Celtic need Aiden McGeady to make up for Artur Boruc’s latest goalkeeping disaster to earn a hard-fought win against Dundee (2-1)
- Aberdeen’s win over Alloa was not without its problems, but into the fifth round they go thanks to Chris Maguire and a late Sone Aluko strike (1-2)
- Falkirk also go through as they beat Queen of the South (4-2)
- Three new signings help win the battle of the Thistles in Inverness‘ favour as they overcome Partick Thistle (3-0)
- There was no upset on the cards in Airdrie as the last of the non-league sides go out. Spartans lose out in poor conditions (2-1)
- Ross County manager Derek Adams blames refereeing blunders on their Cup exit to SPL side Hamilton. Complain as he might, it’s not going to change the result (0-1)
- Clyde lose out to Dunfermline (2-0)
- Peterhead head to Hampden! Not for the final, but for another replay with Queen’s Park (2-2)
- Stenhousemuir go out to a ‘bizarre’ winner by East Fife’s Bobby Linn (0-1)

- Another lovely Scottish winter’s day, but Aberdeen progress on Alloa’s artificial surface.
- Simon Lynch puts an end to Spartans dreams of a Cup upset.
- Pasquali scores for Killie against bogey-side Ayr United, but a replay beckons.
- Artur Boruc doing what he’s good at, i.e. making a mess of it and allowing the other team to score.
- Spartan fans arrive in Airdrie. The smiles would soon disappear as their side go out of the Cup
