Robbie Neilson has told his Hearts stars they must defeat Hamilton in every single department to secure their spot in the Scottish Cup last eight.
The Jambos boss is well aware his side are favourites to beat the Scottish Championship strugglers but his team need to do the work on the park to make it happen. Darvel caused arguably the biggest shock in the history of the tournament in the previous round by knocking out Aberdeen and while it wouldn't be an upset of the same magnitude, it would still be one and it is something the Gorgie boss wants to avoid.
Hearts have reached three of the last four finals and narrowly lost out each time with the hopes to go that one step better and claim the famous old trophy. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Neilson said: “We need to work as hard as Hamilton; out-run them, out-jump them, out-fight them then let our quality come through.
