Auchinleck defender Craig McCracken on going from undertaker to lawyer and Talbot Scottish Cup hero

Auchinleck beat Banks o'Dee in the first round of the Scottish Cup. Craig McCracken was working as an undertaker before he started law studies at Glasgow University. He is in commercial contracts with an assessment two days before facing Hearts. He was congratulated by his lecturer at the start of a tutorial. Ayr won the league last season.

Talbot are playing in the Scottish Cup fifth round on Sunday. They were 14-1 outsiders against Ayr. Craig McCracken is a lawyer and he is enjoying his football career. He is not aware of the historic achievements of his team. He believes that in 10 to 20 years time he will look back on the achievements and realise that Talbot's achievement was a great achievement. The team travelled 300 miles less than all 15 other sides combined. There were 3,000 people at the Aarons game. Hotel food was good. Dominos pizzas were brought to Cove after the game, which was the first time at Talbots that they had experienced.
