Match report
After winning the first leg 4-0, the second leg of this quarter final League Cup tie was almost academic.

Hamilton in fact missed a good couple of early chances, but on 27 minutes United got the goal to settle them down. Graeme Payne took a pass from Davie Dodds, cut inside and when everyone expected him to pass it he suddenly unleashed a 25 yard left foot shot whicl sailed into the net. United kept up the momentum, going two up nine minutes later when Davie Dodds outjumped everyone to score with a powerful header.
With the pressure on Accies defence as constant as the teaming rain, United went even further ahead ten minutes into the second half when Paul Sturrock put the finishing touches to a clever one-two with Payne. John Reilly got the goal he had worked so hard for with ten minutes remaining before Billy Kirkwood scored the most spectacular goal of the night, crashing a 25-yarder past Moffat five minutes from time to complete a 9-0 aggregate victory.
