Kieran Crawford got all four of the Borderers’ goals in their 4-3 second-round victory against their conference A hosts at the capital’s Paties Road Stadium, on 26 and 30 minutes, plus two in extra time.

On target for Edinburgh United were Steven Clark twice and Andrew Swinney.

Hawick now go on to meet another conference A outfit, Dunipace, away on Saturday, February 26, in round three of the cup.

In the meantime, they host Camelon Juniors this Saturday at 2.30pm in the East of Scotland League Cup’s sectional stage.
