The Pars crashed out of the cup when their footballing frailties were again exposed, this time under the full glare of national television. Once more they scored first but again they couldn’t hang on to the lead, with yet another calamity handing their opponents the equaliser. With both sides missing opportunities to win the tie in normal time, extra-time saw Inverness score twice to guarantee themselves a money-spinning home tie against Celtic in the next round.

Time is beginning to run out as the Pars are now adrift at the bottom of the SPL after losing a game that could have gone either way. Despite taking an early lead through Andy Kirk, it was one apiece at half-time following Griffiths’ equaliser. Substitute O’Connor scored with 15 minutes to play and Griffiths scored what proved to be the winner immediately after Buchanan had given the Pars hope with an equaliser.

Only the hardest of hearts could fail to feel some sympathy for Chris Smith after his late fresh air shot added to his collection of recent high profile blunders and gifted Hayes a 95th minute equaliser. Of course if the Pars had made use of their numerical advantage held for over an hour after Gillet was red-carded for denying Kirk a clear goal-scoring opportunity, then it wouldn’t have mattered. However, when your luck is out, it is out and Smith will hope to redeem himself in the replay.

So the Pars lost again – but then plenty of better Pars sides have suffered heavier defeats to poorer Celtic teams over the years so let’s not get too downbeat. It was 3-0 in the end – a superb Stokes strike sent the Celts on their way after 18 minutes, with Wanyama scoring the killer second just before half-time. Another Smith error when he let a swerving Mulgrew free-kick dip over him finished the scoring, as the Pars passed up a couple of half decent chances.
