2 other all SPL ties, potential for Motherwell, Arabs and St Johnstone to struggle, and a young exciting Dons side coming up against a Hearts team in disarray that can't score with a manager that doesn't want to be there.

 

THIS IS OUR YEAR!

It is our year until one of the players says we are going to win it for the fans.

Gutted that we got Hearts. Not because I think we will not beat them but fact that its a team we will already play 3 times this season. Gets a bit boring.

 

Like what you did there with the 3 times. Totally agree, an interesting away trip in the cup always gets the juices going. Hearts at home does not.

Aberdeen v Hearts Scottish Cup by Kevin Stirling

 

Aberdeen were some 93 years in existence before they were beaten by Hearts in a Scottish Cup tie. In nine previous matches it was Aberdeen that prevailed on each occasion. Of all eleven previous Scottish Cup ties between the sides, Aberdeen have only lost twice, although they were the last two meetings in 1996 and again in 2006.

 

The Dons first meeting with the Tynecastle club came at Pittodrie in 1920 and in what was the first season of football after the end of World War 1, a classic Jock Hutton pile-driver put Aberdeen through to a meeting with Albion Rovers.

 

Some 30 years later when both Aberdeen and Hearts were about to make their mark in the game, it was the Dons who held the upper hand over the Tynecastle side with four Scottish Cup ties and Aberdeen emerging unscathed. Despite the heralded 'Terrible Trio' of Conn, Bauld and Wardhaugh, they could not do anything against the Dons, whose own Allister, Young and Glen prevailed. Aberdeen reached the final in both 1954 and again a year later and Hearts were beaten in both seasons. In March 1954 a rampant Aberdeen won 3-0 in a display of pace and power that had Hearts outclassed in front of what was the highest ever Pittodrie attendance of 45,061. A year later Hearts again returned to Pittodrie for a replay and the visitors adopted a physical approach in a bid to stop the Aberdeen juggernaut. A Jackie Allister goal at Tynecastle had given Aberdeen a draw and a replay at Aberdeen. Goals from Harry Yorston and Paddy Buckley put Aberdeen through to a semi final clash with Clyde.

 

The Dons last win over Hearts in the Scottish Cup was again at the quarter final stage in 1990, the last time the Dons won the cup. At Pittodrie a full house witnessed a demolition of the much hyped Hearts defence with Craig Levein getting the run-around from Hans Gillhaus & Co.

Seems an amazingly small number of times we have been drawn vs them in the cup. I'm sure we have played other "top" sides a hell of alot more.

Just scouted the afc heritage site (didn't realise just how many stats they had) http://www.afcheritage.org/Matches/Stats/headtohead.cfm?set=1
