Barrowman on song for Morton

Andrew Barrowman's double helped Morton into the fourth round of the Scottish Cup after beating Airdrie United 2-0 in the third-round replay. Scott Fraser nearly put the home side into an early lead, but Derek Gaston showed safe hands to hold the shot. Morton's Jamie McCluskey squandered a good chance by firing over the bar shortly before Barrowman opened the scoring at the Excelsior Stadium, after good play from Jon Scullion saw the Ton forward slot home inside the box. Barrowman's second, and fifth of the campaign, came 13 minutes from time as he latched onto Jordan Allan's ball to fire low past Andy McNeil. Keigan Parker and Fraser wasted chances for the home side late on, as Morton held on for the clean sheet as well as the win.
