Loan bhoy on the end of probably the biggest ever Scottish Cup shock

Liam Scales found himself on the end of one of the biggest Scottish Cup upsets ever when Aberdeen lost 1-0 at Darvel in the fourth round.

It was a well contested 90 minutes with little to separate the sides despite Darvel playing two divisions below SPFL League Two.

With just one win since the World Cup break it is unlikely that Jim Goodwin will survive the result with chairman Dave Cormack looking on in despair at the tiny Ayrshire ground

Scales was paired with skipper Anthony Stewart in the centre of the Aberdeen defence that failed to clear their lines as Jordan Kilpatrick turned to slide in the only goal of the game from 10 yards out after 20 minutes played.

Darvel were fit and organised throughout, there was no hint of desperation in their play as they coped with some increased Dons pressure midway through the second half.

Aberdeen are away to Hibs at the weekend with the spotlight on Pittodrie as another season falls apart, the Dons visit Celtic on February 18.
