Grierson commented: “It’s not in any way sour grapes from me – hat’s off to Darvel for doing it, getting these guys in and having that quality.
He certainly wouldn’t have appreciated the joyful Darvel supporters singing “You’re getting sacked in the morning” to Aberdeen’s hapless manager, Jim Goodwin.
He said: “We have a village about the same size as Darvel so the intent is to get to a similar level of success.
His effort crashed off the Darvel crossbar via a deflection and he headed the return ball straight at the keeper.
The bruising nature of defeats against Darvel, Hearts and Hibernian in particular led to the departure of previous boss Jim Goodwin.
The former Alloa and St Mirren manager must address that costly trait as well as his side’s obvious failings at the back – starting against Darvel in the cup – if he is to avoid the fate of his predecessor Stephen Glass and survive his first full season.
Their previous two league matches have seen the Buffs ship 11 goals - in 6-3 and 5-2 losses to Darvel and Cumnock, respectively.
There is no shortage of top talent within the Darvel side as Jamie Glasgow, previously of Auchinleck Talbot, teed up Leon Murphy, who dropped his shoulder and sent a rasping shot into the top left corner from the edge of the box.
Until now, that was the biggest shock in Scottish football and I just wanted to express my gratitude to Darvel for exceeding that result and replacing it in the history-books.”
