@HeartsRant: “2nd April 2006. Heart of Midlothian 4-0 Hibernian in the Scottish Cup Semi-final at Hampden. Hartley running riot. We were all sure we’d never surpass that. Ever. And then along came that day in 2012. The same applies - it’ll never be surpassed, right? These games are special. It’s going to be nerve jangling. The build up will be tense. Every man and their dug will be talking about omens - good and bad. Pundits will analyse form guides and make bold predictions. Fans on both sides will run their mouths. This is what football is all about. Bring it on.

@Jamie_Jambo: “The thought of the nick of us trying to play a high press against them at Hampden is making me feel sick.”

Brian Wightman: “Doesn't matter where we play them we will stuff them as usual!”

@RossCooperMMA: “Getting relegated and still gonna smash the wee team! That’s what it’s about to support Hearts!”

@theitalianjambo: “#EdinburghDerby for a place in the Big Cup Final in the Easter weekend. Brilliant. This is gonna be HUGE! P.S. Not as huge as an Edinburgh Derby in the Final, but you can't have it all, eh?”

@GorgieRoar: “Still a month and 10 days until the Semi-Final and the nerves have already kicked in… Suppose Tuesdays Derby plays a part, the remainder of this season is the biggest in a long time for this football club. Time to see who really wants to stand up and be counted.”
