Provost Lorraine Cameron wants supporters to enjoy the club's success in full this week after Lowland League side Tranent were beaten 4-2 on penalties in the final at Broadwood Stadium following a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes.

Epic scenes ensued when Kyle Lafferty smashed home the decisive spot-kick with captain Derek Esplin becoming the first Burgh skipper to lift the trophy since 1968 when George Caughey achieved the feat.

And Provost Cameron had the "privilege" of meeting the Keanie Park icon in the lead-up to what turned out to be a very special afternoon.
