Everything you need to know about Hearts’ League Cup clash
Hearts will face Scottish Championship high-flyers Stenhousemuir away in the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup this week, with a place at Hampden on the line.
The Jambos defeated fellow second tier side Inverness Caledonian Thistle 6-2 last month to secure their name in the hat. Victory at Stenny would see them through to the semi finals in November at Hampden Park - a venue they were deprived of last season due to two early cup exits. New Jambos boss Wouter Vrancken has masterminded six wins and two draws in their last eight.
Also on an impressive run are their opponents, who currently sit top of the Championship table, with former Hibs man Marvin Bartley at the helm. The Warriors have won nine of their first 10 opening fixtures that includes an extra time upset against top flight Motherwell in the last 16. The last time they faced Hearts was in the competition’s group stage in July 2019, when defender Craig Halkett was the unlikely Jambos goalscoring hero, as he bagged a late Tynecastle brace to overturn Mark McGuigan’s opener.
