Craig Conway bagged a second half brace as Dundee United claimed the Scottish Cup final with a 3-0 win over Ross County.

County upset the likes of Hibs and Celtic in previous rounds, but the Hampden Park showpiece proved a bridge too far as United claimed their first Scottish Cup since 1994.

The first 45 minutes was something of an anti-climax with a couple of half-chances for Peter Houston's side the closest either side came to netting the opening goal.

Garry Kenneth headed Conway's free-kick over while Alex Keddie got back well to block Danny Swanson's shot after he burst through the midfield.

United began the second half on the front foot and shortly after Swanson headed wide they broke the deadlock when Goodwillie lofted a shot from distance home after Michael McGovern could only half clear Morgaro Gomis' long ball.

County attempted to respond, but after Martin Scott's measured shot could only find Dusan Pernis the game was up when United made the game safe.

Goodwillie headed the ball on for the dangerous Conway and he skipped past Keddie's challenge before steadying himself and slotting home past McGovern.

Conway made it a day to remember with five minutes remaining when he completed his brace with a neat finish with just four minutes left to clinch the trophy.
