Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
Buoyed by a Premiership win over St. Johnstone, St. Mirren will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on lower-league side Kelty Hearts at the SMISA Stadium. The Saints have been in a fine form of late, and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to advance to the Scottish Cup quarter-finals. Both Brophy and Tanser continue to miss out with injuries, while experienced midfielder Ryan Flynn is pushing for a rare start.
Kelty Hearts, on the other hand, set up a meeting with St. Mirren by shocking St. Johnstone in the last 32. The League Two side aim to claim yet another major scalp in the Scottish Cup, but given St. Mirren’s form in 2022, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Fraser):
Marcus Fraser is a Scottish footballer who plays for Ross County as a defender. Fraser is a product of Celtic football school, but he made no more than one appearance for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. He played his only game for the Scottish giants in a 3-1 win at Inverness on February 9, 2013.
After ending his loan spell with Cowdenbeath, Marcus Fraser signed a deal with Ross County in 2015. Over the years, the defender has established himself as a first-team regular with the Staggies, making 26 appearances in the Scottish top flight last term.
Speaking of his international career, Fraser has five caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His main position on the field is a right-back, but he is capable of producing good performances as a centre-back as well. Marcus Fraser was born in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, on June 23, 1994.
