MORTON forward Kudus Oyenuga admits he needed team-mate Andrew Murdoch to fill him in on their William Hill Scottish Cup opponents Beith Juniors — because he’s never heard of them.

Oyenuga and Murdoch were at Cappielow last night as the Greenock club hosted the third round draw in recognition of Morton’s community wing recently receiving the prestigious Best Professional Club in the Community at the recent 2016 SFA Grassroots Awards.

Jim Duffy and Warren Hawke — who was part of the draw, pulling out the home clubs — were also in attendance. Speaking to the Tele afterwards, Oyenuga said: “I’ve never ever heard of [Beith] in my life. 

“But Andy was telling me a bit about them and that their pitch is on a bit of a slant. If we go there with the right attitude we should do well.

“That’s the beauty of the cup, we’ve done well in the cups and we’ll go there being professional and hopefully we can go and do a good job.”

The 23-year-old was quick to point out that there’s a lot of football to be played between now and Ton’s trip to Bellsdale Park, and says his side are fully focused on league action for now.

But the former Dundee United man believes Ton’s brilliant run in the Betfred Cup is the type of success they will be looking to reproduce in the Scottish Cup.

He said: “We’ll take it one game at a time and see how we go. We’ve got Ayr on Saturday and we’ll focus on them.

“When it comes to Beith, we’ll focus on them.

“Obviously we’d love to go on a cup run, everyone would.

“But the most important thing is getting the three points in the league on Saturday and continuing the good form we’ve been in.

“You can’t take anything for granted, we’ve got to go there with the right attitude. You know the gaffer, he will make sure we do and won’t leave one stone unturned or go there thinking we’ve won already.

“We’ll take the game and do what we have to do.”

Ton were beaten on Saturday by Premiership outfit Aberdeen in their first semi-final in 35 years and Oyenuga says his side can be delighted with the progress they’ve made. 

He said: “We were disappointed to lose in the manner that we lost, with the first goal, but it’s one of those games where we’ve done really well and everyone can be proud of the performance they put in.

“Aberdeen had beaten the last two clubs they played before us 4-0 and they’ve come to us and we’ve given them a good, good game.

“At different periods of the game we could probably even have done better.

“We’re proud of the achievement — it’s the first cup semi-final Morton have been in for over 30 years and all the plaudits go to the gaffer and Hagi [Craig McPherson] for getting us that far in the competition.”
