Scottish Cup review: Motherwell crashed out of the Active Nation Scottish Cup as they fell to a 2-0 fourth-round defeat at Inverness.
Nauris Bulvitis netted against the run of play for the Division One side after 42 minutes, and substitute Doug Imrie added a second just after the hour mark, picking himself off the ground to angle a shot past John Ruddy.
The reward for Inverness is a trip to
Kilmarnock
in the next round.
Jimmy Calderwood got the break he was hoping for to claim his first victory as Kilmarnock manager when Manuel Pascali inadvertently sent
Falkirk
out.
Substitute Gavin Skelton's powerful strike cannoned off the crossbar and bounced back in off the Italian in the 82nd minute to hand Killie a 1-0 fourth-round victory.
St Johnstone
brushed aside
Forfar
3-0, showing no signs of rustiness against their Division Three opponents despite not having played for nearly four weeks.
Kenny Deuchar opened the scoring after 23 minutes, with Liam Craig netting either side of half-time to put the result beyond doubt.
Elsewhere, Division Three
Albion Rovers
held Division Two
Stirling
to a goalless draw, but there were no more shocks to add to Motherwell's exit.
Ayr
beat
Brechin
1-0,
Montrose

Edinburgh City
and
Ross County
hammered
Inverurie Loco Works
4-0.
