It took a last minute goal from Peter Watson to secure a place in the next round for Annan, and Elgin City score three times in the second half to edge out league leaders Albion Rovers 3-0 at Borough Briggs.
Elsewhere there where no real upsets or surprises, with the First Division sides all going through. Dundee beat Cowdenbeath, with Leigh Griffiths, Gary Harkins and Mickael Antoine-Curier getting on the scoresheet. Partick Thistle trash Forfar Athletic 6-1 to secure their place in the Quarter Finals and there where wins for Caley, Ross County and Queen of the South.
Annan Athletic 1-0 East Stirling Cowdenbeath 0-3 Dundee Dunfermline 1-2 Queen of South Elgin 3-0 Albion Forfar 1-6 Partick Thistle Inverness CT 3-0 Stranraer Ross County 2-1 Morton Stirling 3-1 Stenhousemuir

Happy to see my Caley moving on to the quarters, even if we did have to step over poor Stranraer. Good luck to SFC – they’ve had a tough couple of years.
As a north-east Scot, it’s great to see Elgin City getting a win there. They where garbage last year, here’s hoping they’ll improve this year.
It’s been very quiet around Stranraer, does anyone know what the status is there?
Seb – no, I haven’t heard peep in a while. There was some minor fundraising going on in Inverness this week but I have no idea what the status of the club is.
