How to watch Hearts vs Falkirk: kick-off time, tickets, TV channel and live stream for Scottish Cup showdown
Everything you need to know about how to watch The Jambos' fourth round Scottish Cup clash.
After their heroics with 10 men on Wednesday night, next up for Hearts is John McGlynn’s Falkirk in the Scottish Cup.
Derek McInnes’ side have won their last two matches, despite playing the majority of them a man down. Last night’s 2-0 win over St Mirren, despite Beni Baningime’s sending off after 15 minutes, was a performance that proves they’re title contenders. However, this weekend it’s a break from league duties as the Scottish Cup enters the fourth round.
In an all-Premiership tie, Hearts will face in-form Falkirk, who narrowly lost out to Celtic in their last match despite missing a plethora of chance. The defeat was McGlynn’s first of the year, having beaten Aberdeen and St Mirren already this month. Here’s everything you need to know about Hearts’ match against Falkirk in Gorgie this weekend.

How have Hearts fared against Falkirk in their previous matches this season?
Hearts have played Falkirk twice already this season and emerged victorious both times, without conceding a goal. In their last meeting, Claudio Braga and Stephen Kingsley were on target in a blustery Falkirk Stadium while Alexandros Kyziridis, Lawrence Shankland and Craig Halkett spurred them onto victory at Tynecastle in September. Falkirk haven’t beaten Hearts at Tynecastle for nigh on a decade. The last time The Bairns left Gorgie with three points was in the Scottish Championship, when Craig Sibbald scored the winner in a five goal thriller.
What has Derek McInnes said ahead of Hearts vs Falkirk?
Hearts’ midfielder enforcer Cammy Devlin limped off at the death against St Mirren, in what was a worrying sight for the Tynecastle faithful. McInnes is now likely to rest him for the Cup clash. After the match he said: “I don't think it looks good at the minute but we'll see how he is, he’s clearly a tough one. He wanted to walk off or limp off. He didn't want to a stretcher. We'll see how it is in the morning.
“Fifty points at this stage is remarkable. I like the fact that we are in the same company as Rangers and Celtic. We're actually competing there. This time last year we were a bottom-six club, scrambling to try and get top six, so there have been huge improvements from everybody.
