Well done the (Scottish) Vale!

Just watched Darvel's (known to their fans as the Vale) stunning Scottish Cup victory over Aberdeen on the iPlayer.

An outstanding performance!

Darvel produced arguably the biggest upset in 149 years of Scottish Cup history as the sixth-tier outfit defeated top-flight Aberdeen.

Jordan Kirkpatrick's first-half shot on the spin at Recreation Park deflected past Joe Lewis to put Darvel on course for a last-16 home tie with Falkirk.

Chris Truesdale made three great close-range saves from Aberdeen forwards Ryan Duncan and Luis Lopes.

But, remarkably, the West of Scotland Premier Division leaders held on.

The embarrassing exit - Aberdeen's seventh defeat in nine games - piles further pressure on Pittodrie manager Jim Goodwin.

• Reaction & as it happened

Aberdeen forward Duncan - starting in place of top scorer Bojan Miovski - was involved in four attacks in the first seven minutes, letting Darvel defender Chris McGowan know he would be in for a busy evening.

Lopes received Duncan's cross on the penalty spot but his effort on the turn was blocked, then the 19-year-old attacker hit a shot into the side-netting, won a corner with Aberdeen's next attack and curled an effort wide.

Darvel soon settled, though, thanks to Craig Truesdale changing the momentum. He registered The Vale's first shot on target, a low drive gathered comfortably by Lewis and soon after hit a 25-yard piledriver slightly off target.

Truesdale's next contribution was telling. He weighted a lovely cross to the back post that Hayden Coulson headed only partially clear. Willie Robertson quickly played in Kirkpatrick who spun and cracked a low shot into the net to send the home fans in the 3,500 crowd wild.
