Trailing 2-1 from the first leg of their quarter-final the single goal deficit proved no great burden for a confident looking home side.

Once the barrier was breached in 18 minutes, United swarmed all over the Bankies. Joe Ward was on the end of a Paul Sturrock cross after 18 minuted to tie the score and a little over five minutes later United went into the lead for the first time when Paul Sturrock ran on to an lain Phillip pass to hammer a shot low past Gallacher. Now in full command. United's attacks were incessant for the rest of the half but brought no further goals.

However, a minute after the re-start, United clinched the tie with a third goal. Eamonn Bannon slung over a cross from the left and Joe Ward scored with a brilliant diving header. Paul Hegarty headed the fourth from a Graeme Payne corner in the 69th minute and the Bankies pulled one back when Tommy McGorm, though looking well offside, ran through to score a late consolation goal to make the aggregate score 6-3 in United's favour.
