No scoring in the first half, not for the want of trying, but two very late goals, one from the spot after a dubious handball attributed to Danny Devine put Cove into the draw for the 4th Round. Substitutes Glass with the penalty and McGrath with a strike into the bottom corner sent the Caley Jags tumbling out of the cup after it was looking good for soooo long.

League form goes out the window when it comes to the Scottish Cup, so hold on to your hollyhocks, it could be a bumpy ride. Scott Kellacher is without Jake Davidson (knee) and Dundee's loanee Charlie Reilly (hamstring).

Two wins on the trot for Billy and Kells and not only wins but a dash of panache at times as well. Unfortunate not to score more and fairly comfortable most of the game. Only downside was an injury to Jake Davidson as he was challenged on his own through ball by keeper Morrison.

It won't all be plain sailing, but those that witnessed the second half at Cove have said this was the best performance for a couple of years. A word of warning, Alloa come North unbeaten away from home on League1 business. For us, it's onwards and upwards as they say at the bottom end of the table.

It only took Cove ten minutes to get in front through top scorer Mitch Megginson. Megginson failed to convert a first half penalty with Dibaga saving and two minutes later it was all square when Adam MacKinnon drilled into the net. With 25 minutes left, Keith Bray popped up with a much needed and deserved winner.
This was a great result played out at Cove, sharpened at Inverness but made in the Isle of Lewis.
