Greenock Morton vs Hearts: Teams named for quarter-final clash

The starting line-ups have been announced for the final Scottish Cup quarter-final game as Greenock Morton host Hearts at Cappielow.

Dougie Imrie’s side are the last non-Premiership remaining in the competition as they look to book their place at Hampden for the semi-finals.

But standing between them and a place at the national stadium is Steven Naismith’s high flyers.

Veteran Scotland keeper Craig Gordon returns to the side for only his third appearance since the double leg break he suffered on Boxing Day 2022.

The 41-year-old played against Spartans and Airdrie in the previous two rounds of the cup but has continued as understudy to Zander Clark in the league.

Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers await the winner of Monday night’s tie in the quarter-final draw that will take place after full-time in Greenock.

Imrie has started with Mullen in goals behind Broadfoot, Strapp, Baird, O’Connor, Gillespie, French, Blues, Power, Crawford and Muirhead.

Gordon returns to play in goals for Naismith’s side and he starts behind Kingsley, Rowles, Sibbick, Lembisika, Baningime, Devlin, Grant, Forrest, Vargas and Lawrence Shankland.
