​East of Scotland Football League first division outfit Dunipace beat Rangers 2-0 at home in their fourth-round tie at the weekend.

Goals from Conor Kelly on 37 minutes and Tristan McArthur on 85 were enough to see off their Scottish Lowland Football League visitors, reduced to ten men by a 33rd-minute red card for Alex Harris for a foul on Dylan Tennant
