Scottish Cup picks: Hearts v Falkirk, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren, Aberdeen’s Peter Levein.

Of the three matches on Saturday, Falkirk’s visit to Hearts (20:00 GMT) is the most exciting visit.

Hearts are flying high at the top of the Premier League, six points clear of their nearest rivals after a narrow midweek win over St Mirren.

Derek McInnes’ side made an early exit from this season’s Premier Sports Cup and will be keen to go far in the Scottish Cup, even more so with new signings in the door this month.

As for Falkirk, they beat Celtic on Wednesday night, and a 1-0 defeat should not dampen the impressive season so far for John McGlynn’s side.

Hearts have won both league meetings between Hearts and Falkirk this season and Burns have not scored a single goal in the match this season.

Falkirk won the last meeting between the two clubs, 2-0 at home in the League Cup in August 2024, and also won on their visit to Tynecastle – 3-2 when both were in the Championship in January 2015.

However, for them to be victorious again, they will have to end Hearts’ 13-match unbeaten run at home this season.
