Elgin City manager Allan Hale speaks about his delight with Scottish Gas Scottish Cup shoot-out win over Clyde and Kilmarnock loan goalkeeper Aidan Glavin’s penalty-saving heroics





Elgin City manager Allan Hale says his team deserves their place in the third round of the Scottish Cup.

Hale went through an emotional rollercoaster as City won a 24-kick penalty shootout against Clyde on Saturday.

In his post-match interview (above) the Borough Briggs boss praised defender Jack Murray for his 88th minute equaliser, but reserved most of his plaudits for Kilmarnock loan keeper Aidan Glavin.

The 19-year-old produced a crucial penalty save in extra time, then kept out five Clyde spot kicks in a shoot-out won 8-7 by the home side.

City will meet League 1 Kelty Hearts in round three, the third meeting between the sides in cup competitions this season.
