Linlithgow Rose shock Forfar to reach fifth round

A Kevin Kelbie goal five minutes from the end of extra-time sent junior side Linlithgow Rose through to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

After a goalless 90 minutes, visiting substitute Michael Jones set up Kelbie to eventually break the deadlock.

Michael Dunlop hit the post for League One Forfar in the second minute, while Scott Martin's 89th-minute strike cracked against bar.

Strikers Colin Strickland and Kelbie also hit the woodwork for Linlithgow.

It was a third meeting between the two sides after last week's fourth-round replay was abandoned because of a floodlight failure, after a 3-3 draw in the original tie.

Forfar seemed to be on top during the additional 30 minutes as Martin, Iain Campbell and Omar Kader were all denied, while Martin saw a penalty appeal waved away.

But with penalties looming, Kelbie struck low and firm to beat goalkeeper Darren Hill and send the East Superleague side from West Lothian through to an away tie at Premiership side Ross County on 6 February.
