Scottish Cup quarter-final.

Live From Easter Road Stadium, Edinburgh.

Hibernian v Inverness Caledonian Thistle (kick-off 2pm)

The Sportscene cameras are in the capital as Championship side Hibs take on Scottish Cup holders Inverness Caley Thistle with a semi-final place at stake. Supporters of the Leith club don't need to be reminded that their last Scottish Cup win was back in 1902 and that they have lost ten finals since. But there is renewed optimism at Easter Road as Alan Stubbs's side battles for a potential treble. They contest the League Cup final against Ross County next Sunday and are pushing Rangers hard for the Championship title. In the last round of the Cup they defeated city rivals Hearts 1-0 in a pulsating replay in front of a packed crowd at this stadium.

Their opponents today are Scottish Cup holders. The Highlanders lifted the first major trophy in their history at Hampden last May with a 2-1 win over Falkirk, having beaten favourites Celtic in a controversial semi-final the previous month. Manager John Hughes then led his side into European competition for the first time following a best-ever third-place finish in the Premiership. In the last round, Caley Thistle put Motherwell out of the competition thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time winner by Jordan Roberts.

Introduced by Rob Maclean with studio guests Michael Stewart and Willie Miller.
