What channel is St Mirren vs Hibs? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and team news for Paisley showdown
Hearts sent St Mirren spinning out of the Scottish Cup with a dramatic penalty shootout triumph on Monday night. Now, the men from the green half of Edinburgh will look to compound the misery on Stephen Robinson's troops.
It's been a frustrating season for the Buddies, who have endured an inconsistent run of results that leaves them ninth in the Premiership, just a point adrift of Kilmarnock in sixth. And the Paisley outfit's dreams of reaching Hampden were shattered after Craig Gordon's heroics denied them a place in the quarter-finals.
It doesn't get any easier on Sunday as they prepare to take on the in-form team in the league, with the reborn Hibees hunting down a top-three finish. David Gray's side are on a remarkable 11-game unbeaten run and after booking their place in the last eight of the Scottish Cup, head into their latest domestic challenge brimming with confidence. It promises to be an exciting afternoon and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know.
