So there we have it. The dream is over for Darvel, finally losing in the Scottish Cup to an impressive Falkirk team who are 39 places above them in the Scottish football pyramid. Falkirk manager John McGlynn stayed calm amid the excitement and guided his team through to a home tie against Ayr United in the quarter-finals.

Well done to them, and congratulations too to The Vale for a memorable cup run. Seeing the joy on the fans' faces in that famous win over Aberdeen was very special.

Thanks for your company. We'll have match highlights and plenty of reaction on the website. Goodnight.

Darvel manager Michael Kennedy tells Sportscene: "The reality is you can't go down to 10 men against a team like Falkirk and we got hurt later on in the game, but I'm immensely proud of everything the players have achieved to this date.

"It's been a remarkable journey and we're grateful for that, but we now just need to focus on league duties."

Darvel midfielder Ian McShane: "I don't think we turned up tonight. We started slowly and let Falkirk get on top of us. It was two poor goals to lose. It just wasn't to be. Fair play to Falkirk - I thought they were very good tonight. The run has been amazing for everybody. It shows we can compete in higher leagues. That's where we want to be."

Falkirk midfielder Stephen McGinn: "We wanted to be clinical and I think we caught them with a 1-2. The boys up top – Callumn Morrison and Kai Kennedy- have so much quality and if we can get them the ball as much as possible then…well, I don’t like playing against them in training so I’m not sure the Darvel boys will be looking forward to playing us again."

Falkirk manager John McGlynn: "I thought we played really well throughout the 90 minutes. At 2-0 at half-time I wanted to build on that. When they made it 2-1 it was game on. Credit to the players for responding to that. It was a big challenge today coming here. Congratulations to Mick and his team - they have been different class. We wish them all the best for their season."

Here's a reminder of the quarter-final draw now that the final last-16 tie is over:

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Kilmarnock

Heart of Midlothian v Celtic

Rangers v Raith Rovers

Falkirk v Ayr United

Ties to be played on weekend of Saturday 11 March

Falkirk midfielder Callumn Morrison: "It was a hard game. We knew it was a hard place to come so we're happy to get into the next round. We were looking for a quick goal. Credit to all the boys. The red card helped us. We managed to get three goals [after it]. We were looking for a home tie. It's a great chance to get to Hampden."

For a brief time, when Darvel pulled one back to make it 2-1, it looked like we might see a thrilling finale, but credit to Falkirk. They were very professional in their approach to this match and were ruthless in attack, especially when Chris McGowan was sent off by Willie Collum. They will now host Ayr United in the last eight.

Substitute Rumarn Burrell heads wide for Falkirk. It's almost one-way traffic now.

A tremendous finish! Look at Liam Henderson going to win that ball again, great play and then it's all about Aidan Nesbitt. You can see him sizing it up - does he have the quality to find that far corner? He sure does. Great finish - Truesdale, no chance.

Falkirk have so much energy thanks to the goals and their recent triple substitution. Craig McGuffie is seeing plenty of the ball since he came on.

A great run and a tremendous header... so much pace on it and just begging to be attacked. A brilliant header, for me it's all in the cross, the pace in the cross...It's the dagger for Darvel but you have to say, Falkirk have been threatening to go for that third goal.

Darvel are down to 10 men as Chris McGowan is sent off for a second booking.

Falkirk have created good opportunities and they need to continue in that fashion, but we don't know what kind of lift that goal will give Darvel.

Andy Stirling's cross causes panic with a ball into the box and Falkirk concede a corner. When the delivery comes in, PJ Morrison makes an instinctive save to keep his team in front. That happened so quickly! He has gone some way to making up for his error at Darvel's goal.
