Scottish Cup: Stranraer 3-1 Buckie Thistle

League One Stranraer comfortably beat Highland League side Buckie Thistle to reach the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

Luciano Nequecaur headed the hosts ahead from Paul Cairney's corner and Mark McGuigan fired their second from Ryan Thomson's long ball.

Paul Napier's free-kick reduced Buckie's deficit.

But Thomson's solo effort put the tie beyond doubt before Chris Angus was sent off for the visitors late on.
