Hibs saw off Cove Rangers and Arbroath in the fourth and fifth rounds of this year's competition with ‘Well needing extra time to get past Morton before a more comfortable, normal-time victory over Aberdeen.

The two teams have met three times on league duty this season with Hibs winning 3-2 at Fir Park on the opening day of the season followed by a 1-1 draw at Easter Road and goalless stalemate in North Lanarkshire.
