Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
Kelty Hearts and St Johnstone face each other in a highly-anticipated Scottish Cup game. The Saints are stuck at the bottom of the Premier League table, with the team losing each of their last eight league fixtures. St. Johnstone, though, will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, and we predict that they will leave their hearts on the field.
Even though both Wotherspoon and Bryson are sidelined with injuries, we are tempted to put our money on the Premiership outfit. Kelty Hearts, on the other hand, are leading the League Two standings after 21 rounds. The League Two leaders are high on spirits ahead of the Scottish Cup clash, but seeing that they are fully focused on securing promotion to the League One, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors.
