New midweek date for Hearts' Scottish Cup tie against Brora Rangers or Camelon

Hearts await the winners of the Camelon-Brora Rangers Scottish Cup tie.

A provisional date of Tuesday, January 19, has been set by the Scottish Football Association and all three clubs have been made aware. Camelon host Brora this evening in a rearranged first-round match, with Hearts visiting the winners in the next round.

Tonight will be the seventh attempt at playing the Camelon-Brora tie due to inclement weather since it was abandoned on Boxing Day. The game has been moved to Westfield Park, home of Dunipace, after Camelon’s home pitch was frozen.

Milder temperatures over the last 48 hours should ensure it finally gets played to a finish this evening. Camelon are looking to cause an upset as an East of Scotland League side against the Highland League champions.

Whoever prevails will welcome Hearts next Tuesday for the right to progress to a home match in the third round against Stranraer on the weekend of Saturday, January 30.
