Watch: Frizzell heads in Airdrie lifeline

'Airdrie exposed out wide'

Shelley Kerr

Former Scotland head coach on BBC One Scotland

Hearts started the game really well, used the wide areas where there is always an overload.

Credit to Airdrie - they are still trying to play, but they are exposed out wide.

Jambo juggernaut rolls on

Barring possibly the greatest Scottish Cup comeback of all time from Airdrie, Hearts should thunder into the quarter-finals here.

But there is a sliver of hope for the home side thanks to that strike from Adam Frizzell. The Jambo juggernaut has slowed slightly after their early blitz. The next goal will be all-important.

Should Hearts seal the victory, a mouth-watering tie with upwardly mobile Greenock Morton lies in wait.

If the Friday night match between Dougie Imrie's side and Motherwell is anything to go by, the Cappielow contest will be essential viewing.

HALF-TIME Airdrieonians 1-3 Hearts

A very entertaining half of football, it must be said.

That Airdrie goal just about keeps them in this.

Cliche o'clock: Next goal is massive.

Two minutes added at the end of this half.

Kye Rowles gives the ball away and Nikolay Todorov tries an ambitious one that goes way off target.

Watch: Vargas bundles in Hearts' second

Vargas adds a second for rampant Hearts

Alan Forrest fizzes one and it catches Joshua Rae off guard.

He gets away with it though as he spills over the bar.

Watch: Shankland gives free-flowing Hearts lead

Liquid fitbaw.

Shankland gives Hearts the lead at Airdrie

Another stunning cross from Alex Cochrane.

Kenneth Vargas is up to meet it, but it hits him on the face rather than the forehead.

Chance, that.

Lawrence Shankland turns and leathers one from range.

Just about clears the stand.

He's not very good, is he?

'Lovely header'

Neil McCann

Former Hearts winger on BBC One Scotland

Adam Frizzell just drifts into the box and plants a lovely header past Craig Gordon into the far corner.

Airdrie have scored three or more goals four times season.

They'll need to do it again to stay alive in this tie.

One down, two to go...

GOAL! Airdrieonians 1-3 Hearts

Oh, hiya.

A fantastic glancing header from captain Adam Frizzell pulls one back for Airdrie.

BBC

GREAT SAVE!

The ball drops for Alan Forrest on the volley at the back post and he connects with it well.

It's low and bounces through the legs of a defender before Joshua Rae makes the save.

One, two, three

Airdrie are sticking to their principles are trying to play through the thirds, but Hearts just look a cut above.
