Hearts Advance After 4-1 Victory Over Brechin City

The Scottish Cup Fourth Round featured a series of exciting matches, with Hearts overcoming a scare to defeat Brechin City 4-1, thanks to a stunning equalizer from Yan Dhanda and a brace from new signing Elton Kabangu. The match began dramatically, as Brechin's Scott Bright scored a spectacular long-range goal, putting the Premiership side on alert. Other notable results included Aberdeen's comfortable 3-0 win over Elgin City and a last-minute victory for Livingston against Ross County, who had drawn 2-2 before Andrew Shinnie's late goal. Ayr United emerged as the highest scorers of the round, netting eight goals against Broxburn Athletic. The draw for the fifth round will take place on Monday, January 20, following the Dundee derby, with teams like Hearts already securing their spots. Overall, the round was highlighted by a moment of silence for Scottish football legend Denis Law, who passed away just before the matches began.
