Longest time winning a game

To go on and lose it. 
Aberdeen scored in the first minute yesterday and were leading to the 95th. Before losing it to goals in the 96th and 97th. 
Any other Scottish league games where a team has been ahead for 94 minutes of a game and still lost?

i know you specify league games but id also be curious if similar has happened in cup games with extra time etc. Feel like there's definitely been at least a few games where someone wins in on, say, 119+ minutes.

e.g. team A scores in the first minute

team B equalises late on in normal time

team B scores late on in extra time

Have Aberdeen set a World Record? 🤔 I genuinely cannot believe many sides can have led for longer...

Not quite as good as Aberdeen, but Arbroath took the lead after 20 seconds against Celtic on 16th December 1972. Arbroath had a second chalked off for a hotly disputed marginal offside before Celtic equalised in 71 minutes and scored the winner in 86.

Celtic were allowed to get away with a ridiculous number of fouls as they hacked their way to victory. Once Tam Cargill had to go off injured, the writing was on the wall.
