Bonnyrigg Rose score last-gasp extra-time winner to reach King Cup final
Top goalscorer Keith Lough headed in his 30th goal of the campaign in the final minute of extra-time – with the hosts claiming for offside – to send his side through. Bonnyrigg will return to Linlithgow’s ground this Saturday to face Tranent in the final.
The 30 minutes of extra-time contained all the drama as the hosts lost both captain Ruari MacLennan and Kevin McKinlay to red cards after they each picked up second bookings with the tie heading towards a penalty shoot-out – only for Lough to score at the death.
