Darvel have created history with a shock win over Aberdeen to progress to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

A goal from Jordan Kirkpatrick at Recreation Park was enough to dump Jim Goodwin's side out of the competition.

The Pittodrie boss now faces a fight to save his job after one of the most embarrassing defeats in the club's history.

Darvel play their football in the West of Scotland League Premier Division - the sixth tier of Scottish football.

It further piles the misery on the Dons who have now won just one of their last nine matches.

The Vale will now host League One Falkirk in the next round of the Scottish Cup,
