Last 10 days / 3 results have been unacceptable.

The players and manager know this and will be looking to bounce back in the next 2.

Win on Sunday and we have another chance to plan a trip to Hampden and the important financial benefits that come with it for our club.

It's a one off game - we are going in as underdogs but we can also have belief we can progress having beaten and outplayed other teams similar to ICT.

Missing a few keys will allow some to stake claim for a cup final place.

ICT haven't won in last 3 games either and possibility we could face them in the playoffs at the end of the season also. They also were missing 10 players midweek against the yams and could only name 5 on the bench - 4 of whom have never started for the club before.

How do you think we will line up / predictions / who is on yellow cards / suspended etc?

Bet 365 have us as slight favourites, find that odd!

Having said that, fully expect us to win and restore momentum.

Sunday's game is massive. Our recent form and the game next week have certainly overshadowed this fixture but in reality it's a winnable quarter final in a year in which, dare I say it, the Scottish Cup itself is winnable for any team left in the draw*. Furthermore, it's an opportunity to forget about the drudgery of the Championship and re-ignite the season in advance of the LC final and making sure we finish 2nd/win the playoffs.

Cummings, the Bartman and Hanlon will be big misses but I still fancy a tight win: 2-1.


*If Celtic underestimate Morton and Morton counter attack in the manner they did to us then I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a wee upset there, not to mention how vulnerable Celtic have been at Hampden in recent years. Everyone else is beatable.

Hibs 11/10 V ICT 13/5

BlackpoolHibs will be licking his lips when he sees these odds. £40 at 13/5. A nice wee earner to go with the £40 bet that came in when Hearts beat us recently. :greengrin
