Kilmarnock 4 Dundee United 1 as Ayrshire side cruise into Reserve Cup final

Kilmarnock cruised into the Reserve Cup final with a comfortable win at home to Dundee United.

A host of first team stars littered the starting XI, and the decision to field a strong side paid off as they were 4-0 up in just 30 minutes.

Goals from Brad Lyons, Bobby Wales, Chris Stokes and Fraser Murray ensured safe passage into the final, with details yet to be confirmed.

Alan Domeracki pulled one back for the Arabs in the 79th minute but it was too little, too late.

The victory sets up a final with Dunfermline Athletic who defeated Queen of the South 3-0 this afternoon.

Jordan Jones found Lyons with a cross in the third minute as the Northern Irish midfielder fired home at the second attempt.

Wales then doubled his side's lead after just eight minutes as he latched on to a pass from Blair Alston before firing home from inside the area.

After 17 minutes it was three as Stokes leapt highest to power home a header leaving Ruairidh Adams with no chance.

Murray scored a sweet overhead kick on the half hour mark as he made it 4-0 as the Ayrshire side were cruising at half-time.

Domeracki pulled one back with just over 10 minutes to go before Keir Bertie was sent off for a second yellow card reducing the Arabs to 10 men.
