Largs Thistle face Rob Roy in the Emirates Scottish Cup last 16.

The match will be played at Barrfields on Saturday February 13. The club have received another home draw in the Ayrshire Weekly Press Cup 1st round against Auchinleck Talbot, in a date still to be decided.

Bonnyrigg Rose 1 Largs Thistle 3

Largs Thistle turned in one of their best performances of the season to overcome East Premier champs Bonnyrigg on their own turf in the Emirates Scottish Cup fourth round.

Bonnyrigg took the lead in ten minutes as Graham McColl ran through unchallenged and cracked home a 20 yard effort which was aided by a Dow deflection/

On the hour mark, Largs got the equaliser that their rich play deserved as Walton threaded a good ball down the right to James Marks who galloped on and chased up a seemingly lost opportunity to win the ball. He drew out the keeper, before hitting the roof of the net with a classy diagonal strike.

Thistle took the lead on 65 minutes as Deas, who is one of the hottest properties in the Junior game, shuffled past a defender and curled over a superb ball right on to McClure's head and he made no mistake from five yards.

Largs made it 3-1 on 81 minutes as Bonnyrigg had a late effort on the Thistle goal and Connick launched a quick ball through. Marks rounded off the move with an excellent close range strike.

There was an abundance of skilful football on view with a good crowd travelling up from Largs as the Barrfields side continue to march on in the country's Premier tournament and should fear nobody in the next round if they can keep up this standard.

Largs: Connick, Davidson, Jamieson, Walton, McCabe,M.Dow, Deas, Marks, McClure, Lappin, Robertson. Subs: Kyle, Gault, JP Dow, Monaghan, Mullin, Greenwood (GK).
