All eyes will be on Somerset Park on Friday night as in-form Hibs look to avoid a Scottish Cup upset at the hands of Championship promotion contenders Ayr United.
Eyebrows were raised as soon as the fifth round draw was made and it seemed clear the tie would be selected for live television broadcast. The presence of former Hibs and Celtic midfielder Scott Brown in the home dugout was only ever going to add to the intrigue surrounding what will be one of the ties of the round.
Meetings between Hibs and Ayr have been scarce in recent years and you have to go back to a League Cup tie at Easter Road in August 2017 for the last time the two sides met in any competition. But what became of the Hibs players that claimed a 5-0 win on home soil and where at they now?
