Craig Halkett believes Hearts can draw on the experiences of a contingent of Scottish Cup-winning heroes already at the club as they bid to topple city rivals Hibernian in Saturday's Hampden semi-final.
Manager Robbie Neilson and 39-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon were both part of the Jambos side that defeated Hibs in the semi on their way to winning the trophy back in 2006, while club ambassador and diehard supporter Gary Locke was club captain when the Tynecastle side triumphed in 1998.
Halkett believes having such iconic figures steeped in Hearts' history can help when it comes to grasping the magnitude of this weekend's match.
