When is the Scottish Cup fifth round draw? Full details after Hearts and Hibs scrape through

Both Hearts and Hibs are into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup after scraping past lower-league opposition. 

The Jambos, in particular, will be thanking their lucky stars after needing a stoppage-time winner to avoid extra time against inter-city minnows Spartans. Frankie Kent’s late strike ensured Hearts' blushes were spared and their name remains in the hat for the next round.

Elsewhere, Hibs also edged out League Two opposition by winning away at Forfar. Christian Doidge bagged the only goal of the game to sink the Loons at Station Park.

Wins for both Edinburgh clubs means plenty of interest remains in the Scottish Cup. Neither side have won the competition since 2016 when the Hibees earned a thrilling 3-2 win over Rangers.

But when is the fifth round draw? How can you tune in? Edinburgh News provides all of the details below.
