Second-tier Inverness Caledonian Thistle booked a place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals as they came from behind to stun top-flight Kilmarnock.

The visitors burst out the traps thanks to a deft Kyle Vassell touch at a corner inside three minutes, but Billy McKay's penalty restored parity.

Skipper Sean Welsh drilled in the hosts' winner with a 25-yard strike ghosted through goalkeeper Sam Walker.

Kilmarnock join Livingston on Inverness' list of scalps this season.

Billy Dodds' side can now look ahead to a date at Hampden next month and will learn their last-four opponents on Monday night.
