Alloa v Hearts Betfred Cup last 16 tie date and kick off time confirmed for Indodrill clash

The details for Hearts’ last 16 Betfred Cup tie away to Alloa Athletic have been confirmed.

Robbie Neilson’s side topped Group A with a 100 per cent record after beating Inverness CT, Cowdenbeath, Raith Rovers and East Fife.

That meant they were seeded for the knock-out stages, which saw them paired with Championship rivals Alloa.

Peter Grant’s men qualified as one of the four best runners up, finishing second behind Livingston in Group H, ahead of Edinburgh City, Stenhousemuir and Airdrie.

Hearts will head to the Indodrill Stadium to take on the Wasps for a place in the quarter-finals on Saturday 28 November (kick-off 3.00pm).

It will be their second meeting with the Clackmannanshire outfit in a matter of days, with the two set to meet on league duty in Gorgie a week today.

The winners will book their spot in the quarter-finals, with the Jambos aiming for a third successive appearance in the last four.

They’ve bowed out of the competition at that stage in the last two years, suffering 3-0 defeats to both Celtic and Rangers respectively.
