Safely into the next round // Motherwell 3-1 Alloa Athletic 

Motherwell faced League One side Alloa in their first Scottish Cup tie of 2024 at Fir Park.
As always when facing a team further down the divisions, the potential of a cup shock could have been on the cards but those nerves were cured after just 50 seconds when Blair Spittal's effort was deemed over the line and the goal was given.
Former Motherwell man Connor Sammon came back to haunt Fir Park when he levelled proceedings with Alloa's only attack of the first half.
However, the chances continued to flow and despite Blair Spittal missing from the penalty spot, he made up for it with a curling free kick that found the top corner after Georgie Gent has restored the Motherwell advantage.
Safely into the next round for the Steelmen, as Greenock Morton now lie in wait at Cappielow Park in the fifth round.
