Ross County 2 Airdrie United 3 (AET)
Paul Di Giacomo fired a double as Airdrie sent Ross County out of the Co-operative Insurance Cup after a five-goal thriller at Victoria Park.
The former Kilmarnock striker broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when he swept home off the inside of the post from Steven MacDougall's cut back.
County equalised through Dyron Daal and Ritchie Hart then gave them the lead.
But substitute Stuart Noble equalised with four minutes to go and Di Giacomo scored the winner in the 112th minute.
