The fifth round of the Cup produced an all-Premier contest between Aberdeen and Motherwell. This is tie of the round and Pittodrie is the venue.
Memories of the '91 cup run spring to mind when those balls were pulled from the hat. We don't have a Stevie Kirk in the current squad but there is every reason to anticipate a close contest.
The teams have already met three times this season and the 'Well have two wins and a draw to their credit. The last Scottish cup clash was in 2022 when goals from Kevin van Veen and Connor Shields gave Motherwell a 2-1 win at Fir Park.
The fifth round ties are scheduled for the weekend of 7 February but it's almost certain that this will be a TV pick.
Come on ye 'Well
