Scottish Cup: Airdrieonians 3-1 Brechin City

Taylor Morgan's brace against Brechin City helped Airdrieonians into the Scottish Cup fourth round.

The forward, on loan from Swedish side Ostersund, collected a pass from Jamie Bain and fired a shot beyond Brechin goalkeeper Graeme Smith.

Andy Jackson headed home Willie Dyer's cross from close range to draw the sides level.

Morgan doubled his tally after Smith had dropped the ball and Bryan Prunty sealed City's win with a free-kick.
