The village of Darvel reacts the giant killing of Aberdeen FC in the Scottish Cup.
The victory by the Ayrshire town's local football team in the Scottish Cup is being hailed as the biggest shock in the tournament's history.
No other top-flight side has previously lost to a team five divisions down the pecking order, but the managing director of 'Brownings The Bakers' says the West of Scotland League has all the ingredients to be an even greater hotbed of latent talent.
Darvel won their Premier League last season but missed out on promotion to the Lowland League - which acts as a feeder to the Scottish Professional Football League - after losing to East of Scotland champions Tranent.
Asked if this was the Scottish Cup's biggest shock, Gall told BBC Scotland: "The West of Scotland Football League I reckon is one of the best leagues in Scotland. Auchinleck Talbot is the most famous club in the league, but we've also got Clydebank, Pollok, Irvine Meadow.
"We have the pyramid system now. Well done to the Scottish FA for agreeing to do this, but it now needs looked at. I think last night shows the strength of teams. We can be a force in Scottish football, but we need this pyramid system to work better for us and enable us to get up the leagues."
