Greenock Morton have progressed to the 4th round of the Scottish Cup in dramatic fashion after defeating Peterhead 5-3 on penalties.

Billy Davies is in interim charge following Dougie Imrie’s departure to Raith Rovers midweek.

The Ton thought they had the job done until Kieran Shanks scored in stoppage time to make it 2-2, which forced extra time.

Tomi Adeloye bagged a brace for the Cappielow Park side but was sent off at the 73rd minute.

Despite the difficult circumstances, Davies’ men got through and that’s two games unbeaten for the former Derby County boss.

Davies was in charge earlier this season and drew 0-0 with Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline.

The Scotsman included two 16-year-olds on the bench, which shows the Greenock club’s ambition of giving youth players a chance.

Morton are currently seventh in the Scottish Championship and could be potentially drawn in a glamour tie against Rangers or Celtic in the 4th round of the iconic Scottish Cup.
