Shotts boss John McKeown insists Scottish Junior Cup progress was the target, but was left needing a 7-6 penalty shoot-out win after a 2-2 draw against 10-man Beith.
McKeown felt his side should have been well ahead in the third round tie, with Chris Kelly levelling for the hosts before Paul McGeough put them ahead, only for Beith to nab an 87th-minute equaliser.
However, they’re through to a fourth-round tie at home to Arthurlie in December, and McKeown says that’s all that matters.
