Revived Aberdeen beat Kilmarnock to reach semis

Aberdeen put their league woes behind them and delivered the best performance of Neil Warnock's tenure by dispatching Kilmarnock to claim the first spot in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

But Warnock's much-improved side - 14 points worse off than Kilmarnock - came out swinging and caught the Ayrshire visitors cold when Jamie McGrath bundled in a rebound after the lively Junior Hoilett had a shot saved. Kilmarnock, without a Scottish Cup semi-final appearance since 1997, gave their large away following hope at the end of a gripping first half after Kyle Vassell watched Danny Armstrong smash in his dinked cross.
