Hearts have discovered their Scottish Cup quarter-final fate as they bid to go one better than last season.
Robbie Neilson's men battled it out with Championship strugglers Hamilton Accies under the lights on Friday night to kick-off the weekend of action that ends with Darvel's clash with Falkirk tonight. The Jambos dumped city rivals Hibs out in the last round before defeating John Rankin's men thanks to strikes from Stephen Humphrys and Cammy Devlin.
The Gorgie men lost in the showpiece last season against Rangers and have lost out in the final on numerous occasions in recent times. They are now in the last eight and just one game from a Hampden return in the semi-final while just two games stand between them and a chance at lifting the famous old trophy. European football is also up for grabs and it is Celtic who stand in the way of Hearts and reaching the last four. Ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday, 11 March.
