Scottish Cup Heroes

STRANRAER'S Scottish Cup heroes re-wrote the history books on Saturday when they reached the quarter-final of the cup for the first time in their 133-year existence.

Now they are gunning for Premier League Motherwell and a place in the semi-final.

Billy McLaren's players overcame a tough test at Greenock Morton with a 2-0 victory to take the club into the Scottish Cup quarter-final draw. And having been paired with Scottish Premier League strugglers Motherwell in next month's crunch-tie at Stair Park, the manager believes his side can still go a stage further.
