Hibs discover Scottish Cup route map as Jack Ross side are paired with Stranraer

Hibs have discovered who they will face in the next two rounds of the Scottish Cup if they make it past Queen of the South on Monday.

Jack Ross' men face the Doonhamers on Monday night looking to seal their place in the fourth round, but the draw was done this afternoon.

And Hibs will face Stranraer in the fourth round, with a potential clash against either Motherwell or Greenock Morton up for grabs in the fifth round of the tournament.

It's five years since Hibs won the tournament but Ross is determined to bring silverware back to Easter Road and are hoping they can go on a good run.

Speaking ahead of Monday's game, Ross said: “I wasn’t surprised by the level of performance they (Queen of the South) showed.

“It’ll be a tough test for us and while we could lose on Monday for any number of reasons, poor attitude definitely won’t be one of them.

“We’ve got to show the level we’ve been at all season, and the quality that we have within the squad.

“Since I’ve been here we’ve gone into the cups with the aim of winning them, and this is no different.

“We’ve reached the semi-finals of the last two cup competitions and we believe this year represents a realistic chance to go on and win this.

“Queen of the South have a great balance in the team between younger players and good professionals with more experience and they’ve got a great energy and enthusiasm about their play.

“We’ve prepared all week for this game and we definitely don’t underestimate any team.

“It’ll be a tough match for us but it’s an exciting one to go into nonetheless.”
