Dons face Hearts in Scottish Cup

Last updated : 08 December 2015 By Stand Free Ed

Aberdeen have drawn Hearts in the stand-out tie of the fourth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup.

The duo, who currently lie third and second in the Premiership table, clash at Tynecastle on the second weekend of January.

It is the second time in a row that the Dons can curse their luck in cup draws, after being paired with Hibs away in the League Cup earlier in the season – the most difficult opponent the Reds could've faced in the seeded draw.

However, if you can't get excited about a trip to Hearts in January for the first round proper of the Scottish Cup then fitba's probably not the sport for you!

UPDATE: The match has been moved to 5:30pm on Saturday 9 January for broadcast on live television, which should ensure a great atmosphere at what should be a packed Tynecastle.
