Forfar 0, Linlithgow 1: Rose make Scottish Cup history

Linlithgow Rose became the first Junior side to ever make the last 16 of the Scottish Cup after they defeated Forfar Athletic 1-0 at Station Park in their fourth-round replay.

The East Super League side, who drew 3-3 with their League One counterparts in the original tie before last week’s replay was abandoned due to floodlight failure, will now face Ross County in the fifth round.
