The ‘Spartan Army’ are dreaming of an Edinburgh derby in the quarter final of the Scottish Cup but first they have to see off Berwick Rangers on February 17th.
After the draw at Hampden Park this afternoon Spartans Manager Dougie Samuel told the club website: “It’s a fantastic draw on so many levels, it’s a chance for the Spartans family to come out in force at Easter Road if we can win the replay. Of course, everyone associated with Berwick will also be dreaming too. Next week has the makings of being a great game. We know it will be extremely tough and that Berwick will be most people’s favourites, as the league side they are expected to win. We can go there with nothing to lose and so much to gain”.
The quarter finals will be played on 7th and 8th March.
Full Quarter Final Draw:
Inverness Caledonian Thistle vs Raith Rovers
Queen of the South vs Falkirk
Hibernian vs Spartans or Berwick Rangers
Dundee United vs Celtic
