Forfar booked themselves a money-spinning tie against Rangers in the next round of the Homecoming Scottish Cup with a crushing 6-1 victory over Forres Mechanics.
Five goals from the Irn-Bru Third Division side ended the contest before half-time and they wrapped things up after the break as they completely outclassed the Highland League outfit.
Graeme Gibson started rout after only two minutes and an own goal from Forres' Bruce Milne two minutes later left the visitors with a mountain to climb.
They looked to have thrown themselves a lifeline when Ryan Green pulled one back in the 23rd minute but, within 60 seconds, Stephen Tulloch restored the two-goal advantage.
Ross Campbell made it 4-1 with a close-range effort just after the half-hour mark and Kevin Gordon got on the scoresheet two minutes before the interval.
Gordon grabbed his second of the game and Forfar's sixth in the 54th minute with a stunning volley from outside the box.
Forres' night of woe was complete when goalkeeper Stewart Knight was stretchered off after a nasty fall.
