Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes believes "the standard has been set" over the past seven years as he targets Scottish Cup glory.
The Dons have only won one trophy since the former St Johnstone boss was appointed, the League Cup in 2013-14, but they've reached another two finals in that competition as well as losing the 2016-17 Scottish Cup final to Celtic.
They face St Mirren in the quarter-final on Saturday and their manager is confident they can go all the way.
McInnes said: "We are delighted we have got this opportunity.
"The last game against Kilmarnock could have gone either way but the determination, strength and motivation of the team was clear.
"Cup games are always pressure games. This could be my first year as manager. I knew the importance of cups to Aberdeen because we knew we weren't in the position to compete for leagues.
"We know Aberdeen supporters had seen other teams win cups and said: 'Why not us?'
"We have been in more finals and done better than any other team outwith Celtic in the past seven years.
"The standard has been set. Although we have only won one trophy, we have put ourselves forward to semi-finals and finals time and time again.
"There is the same sort of pressure to deliver and we will do our utmost to show that, as we did in the last round.
"Everybody loves a cup run and we want to do all we can. I think the players showed in the last round against Kilmarnock exactly how important it is to them and it's important we respond in the right manner on Saturday."
