QUEEN'S PARK IN THE SCOTTISH CUP

Most Scottish Cup titles Celtic – 36 Rangers – 33 QUEEN’S PARK – 10 Heart of Midlothian – 8

Cup shocks have become part and parcel of the cup in recent years, with League Two clubs reaching the Quarter-finals stages in the last two competitions. For MacPherson, it’s a case of playing to your strengths and respecting the opposition – no-matter what league they play in. He continued: “We’re looking forward to the game. The excitement starts when the draw is made and the whole group, including everyone involved with the club, is included in that. "There’s an anticipation to see who we are going to get and our game is certainly an interesting one. We’re very respectful of the Lowland League and the standard there. Stirling University will provide a tough challenge for us. “You’ve just got to play to your capabilities. There’s no question we’ll be the favourites because of the league status but we’re away from home and we know how competitive the Lowland League is. We’ve been meticulous and thorough in our preparation. Hopefully we can progress.”
