Ross County progressed to the next round of the Scottish Cup with a comfortable win over Highland League Deveronvale.

 

The team from Banff were well supported with over 300 fans travelling West to cheer on their team in the hope of a Cup upset.

 

It was the Staggies that took the lead after 28 minutes as Gary Miller converted Iain Vigurs' corner before Andy Barrowman doubled the lead from close range.

 

Fifteen minutes after the break it was County who found the back of the net again, Steven Craig giving the Staggies a three-goal cushion following good work from fellow striker Barrowman down the right.

 

After coming on as a sub Mike McKenzie scored a consolation penalty for the visitors before Barrowman gave County their fourth in the final minute.

 

The Staggies can now look forward to the draw for the next round which will take place on Monday 22nd, at 11.30 am and will be shown live on Sky Sports News.
