Stenhousemuir sealed a spot in Monday night’s Scottish Cup fourth round draw after a five-star win against West of Scotland outfit Irvine Meadow XI.

Gary Naysmith’s side won 5-0 in North Ayrshire on Saturday afternoon to set up the possibility of a money-spinning tie in the next round – with the William Hill League One club potentially being able to draw the likes of Premiership giants Celtic and Rangers.

Euan O’Reilly netted a hat-trick for the Warriors with further goals from Matthew Aitken and Aaron Steele sealing progression against the lowest ranked team left in the competition.
