Last Monday's emphatic Edinburgh derby win meant a return of ten points from twelve for Paulo Sergio's team over the festive period.

The Jambos managed the impressive points haul conceding just a solitary goal - and they even scored it themselves!

Auchinleck have failed to win their last two matches - drawing 0-0 with Petershill and going down 3-2 at home to Arthurlie on Hogmanay. Their last victory was a 6-0 thrashing of Penicuik Athletic in the Emirates Scottish Cup.

Ryan McGowan netted his first senior goal for the club, nodding the JTs in front in the New Year derby at Easter Road. Rudi Skacel also smashed in his fifth league goal of the season and leads the scoring charts at Tynecastle.

Hearts will be hoping to improve on their recent Scottish Cup record. The Jambos have been knocked out at the first hurdle for two consecutive years at the hands of Aberdeen and St. Johnstone respectively. Their last Scottish Cup win at this stage in the competition came at Easter Road, winning 2-0 in 2009.

This is the first time the Gorgie club have drawn non SPL opposition at this stage since 2007 when the Jambos were paired with Stranraer.

Today on HeartsTV - live commentary of the game with Phil Turnbull, Jimmy Sandison and Ryan McGowan from 2.45pm.
