Ross County 4-0 Whitehill Welfare

Dene Shields was the star of the show for Ross County with two goals and an assist in a Scottish Cup win over Whitehill Welfare at Victoria Park.

Shields pounced on a quickly-taken free-kick by Mark McCulloch to fire high into the net before Whitehill's Scott Gormley squandered a chance.

Martin Scott scrambled the ball into the net after Shields' delivery was knocked on by Paul Lawson.

Shields scored from close range then Sean Higgins tucked away a cross.
