Fourth-Tier Spartans Pull Off Stunning Upset Against Ross County.

A brilliant header from Blair Henderson earned fourth-tier The Spartans a stunning win over Ross County, securing their spot in the last eight of the Premier Sports Cup.

Talismanic striker Blair Henderson turned Jamie Dishington’s cross into a goal just 20 seconds into the second half, giving The Spartans their first win against a top-flight team.

Ross County struggled to make an impact at Ainslie Park, failing to test new Spartans goalkeeper Jacques Heraghty and missing several chances before the goal.

The Spartans will be the first fourth-tier team to reach the League Cup quarter-finals since Rangers in the 2012-13 season.
