Annan Athletic pulled off the biggest result in the club's 74-year history as they downed top-flight Hamilton with a 4-1 win at Galabank.

The League Two outfit - who only joined the Scottish leagues in 2008 - claimed their first-ever win over Premiership opposition as they moved into the last 16 of the William Hill Scottish Cup.

Matty Flynn and Josh Todd netted early in each half before Rabin Omar's double killed off Martin Canning's team after Greg Docherty had briefly given them hope.

Accies travelled south packing just one win in their 13 previous games but the humiliation dished out by Jim Chapman's men will now raise serious questions about Canning's future as player/boss.

The New Douglas Park side were stunned after just six minutes when Jesus Garcia Tena's miskick left his side exposed.

Omar pounced on the loose ball as he prodded it through for Flynn, who took a touch before beating Michael McGovern.

That nightmare start almost got worse seconds later, with only McGovern's smart reactions keeping out Peter Weatherson's volley.

Hamilton should have been at home on the plastic Galabank pitch but too often they rushed things when a calmer head was needed.

They did come close with an Ali Crawford free-kick while Michael Devlin headed over from a corner. But the defender got lucky after his slip up let Josh Todd race away, with the Annan striker tugging his shot wide.

But there was no let off two minutes into the second half as Todd ran onto Weatherson pass before stroking a composed finish past McGovern.

Hamilton needed a response but Eammon Brophy's horrible miss on the hour as he pulled a shot wide from six yards out was not it.

The young striker did make amends five minutes later though as he chested the ball down for midfielder Docherty to fire home a lifeline.

But Hamilton's hope was snuffed out within 60 seconds as Annan raced upfield from kick-off, with Omar slotting home at the second attempt from Todd's cut-back.

Todd had run the visitors ragged but he somehow failed to net from a yard out when slammed against the post after McGovern spilled Weatherson's free-kick at his feet.

But the home element of the 817 Galabank crowd were in raptures once more as Omar dinked home the fourth after a Ryan Finnie set-piece was deflected his way as he put the seal on a famous win.
