    More from Hearts head coach Ian Cathro

    "We have a couple of guys away with their international squad, we've got some new players in the team today and that's a positive thing.

    "Every time we sign someone, there are more options and it is a sign we're becoming stronger. 

    "We've seen that Raith Rovers have quality and we anticipate a challenging game."

    Of course, Rovers boss Gary Locke has a strong Hearts connection, having played for, coached and managed the Edinburgh team. Assistant Darren Jackson also played for Hearts, while Rudi Skacel, Jason Thomson, and Kevin McHattie are all former Jambos. Ryan Stevenson is there too, but the man of many tattoos is cup-tied today.

    Skacel is sure to get a warm reception from visiting fans today since he won the Scottish Cup with Hearts in 2006 and 2012.

    "This is a big challenge for me because of my past, but we are all professionals and I will do 100% on Sunday," Skacel told BBC Scotland earlier this week.

    "We have nothing to lose, the pressure is on Hearts. So we have to enjoy it, it's a game where we can take back our confidence."

    Hearts head coach Ian Cathro talking to BBC Sportsound

    "This is a challenging place to come, we want a strong start. There are good players in both teams and there's a bit of a backdrop to it [with strong Hearts connections in the home ranks].

    "I want to win. I want to win every game. Every day of my life I want to win."

    There was only one real upset yesterday, with Championship strugglers St Mirren turning in an impressive display to turn over Dundee at Dens Park.

    East Fife winning at Livingston was a bit of a surprise too, but on a smaller scale.

  9. Up for the cuppublished at 12:12 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2017

    If you're feeling a bit flat after Andy Murray's shock exit in Australia, maybe a couple of Scottish Cup ties will help raise spirits. Hearts at Raith Rovers and Celtic against Albion Rovers look like predictable wins for the big boys but then again so did the world number one versus the number 50, who had never before been beyond the second round of a Grand Slam, in Melbourne...
