Hearts Prepared for Next Opponent Following Scottish Cup Derby Win

Hearts manager Eva Olid stated that her team is prepared to face any opponent in the Women’s Scottish Cup draw, having eliminated city rivals Hibernian to advance to the last 16. Georgia Timms netted the sole goal during Sunday’s Edinburgh derby, securing a 1-0 victory for Hearts, who were last season’s beaten finalists. The upcoming round’s draw is scheduled for Monday at 19:00 GMT. “It was a great win in a tough game,” Olid commented. “We knew we were facing a tough opponent, they are very consistent and very solid most of the time.” She continued, “It’s always nice to have your striker on the scoresheet, that means your team selection was accurate. But it was not only [Timms], there was hard work from all the girls.” Olid added, “We know who we are and we know what we can do and we are ready to face every single team that is in this draw. We’re just focusing on who we are facing next.” Concurrently, Hibs boss Grant Scott expressed that he is “very disappointed” about his team’s elimination from the cup. “I don’t think it was a great game but we cancelled each other out again,” Scott stated. “We are disappointed but not disappointed with the performance as such.” He concluded, “The good thing about football is you don’t get too long to wallow and I certainly won’t let players do that, that’s not my style.”
