Premiership clubs enter the Scottish Cup this weekend, creating several intriguing ties. The standout fixture is Hearts v Falkirk, an all-top-flight clash at Tynecastle. Hearts lead the Premiership by six points, while Falkirk pushed Celtic close midweek. This marks their third meeting this season, with Hearts winning both league games.

Benjamin Nygren is Celtic's player to watch after scoring the winner against Falkirk. The Swedish midfielder now has 12 goals this season, five more than last year's top scorer. He's likely to start again as Celtic face Auchinleck Talbot, aiming to continue his strong form.

Peter Leven faces a tough task as Aberdeen's interim manager, having lost his first two games. The Dons host Championship side Raith Rovers, hoping to end a seven-match winless streak. Raith, under new boss Dougie Imrie, won their last two knock-out meetings with Aberdeen.
