  1. 'Impressive' Hearts

    Ian McCall
    Former Partick Thistle manager on BBC Radio Scotland

    I must admit Hearts have been very impressive. It’s more than just they have better players. Twice in the first two or three minutes Hearts should have scored. They get the ball forward. I’ve been impressed with their set plays. The big plus for Thistle is that it’s only 1-0

  4. HALF-TIME Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    You will not see many more one-sided first halves of football than that. Hearts have been in total control and Partick Thistle just cannot break the pattern of play. There is only one goal in it, however, and he hosts can take some solace from that.

  5. 'Cult hero' Ikpeazu

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Ian McCall
    Former Partick Thistle manager on BBC Radio Scotland

    Ikpeazu's becoming a bit of a cult hero at Hearts. Usually cult heroes can't play football but this boy can

  6. Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Sean Clare fires high and wide from a promising position. Will Hearts end up ruing all these missed opportunities?

  7. CLOSE!

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    What a goal that could have been.

    Uche Ikpeazu retrieves an aerial ball, flicks it over two defenders and volleys past the Partick post.

  8. A worrying moment for Hearts as Zdenek Zlamal sends a poor pass to Christophe Berra, who rescues the situation with a last-ditch tackle.

  9. Partick Thistle 0-0 Hearts

    Thistle then win a free-kick and Gary Harkins decides to take a shot but the veteran playmaker sends it high and wide.

  10. Partick Thistle 0-0 Hearts

    A rare shooting opportunity for Partick Thistle as the ball falls for Blair Spittal, who sends the ball wide via a deflection.

  11. Partick riding the 'waves'

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    If Thistle can get in at half-time Gary Caldwell can settle them down. As soon as they get the ball they are giving it away and it's wave after wave of attack at the moment

  12. Thistle 'hanging in'

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    I think Thistle are getting away with it. Hearts have played really well, coming out of the traps since the beginning and really taking the game to Thistle. It's all about hanging in there for Partick Thistle.The game could have been done by now

  13. Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Uche Ikpeazu shows his strength to hold off two Partick Thistle defenders and fire a shot into the arms of Conor Hazard.

  14. 'Jags should look to counter'

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Ian McCall
    Former Partick Thistle manager on BBC Radio Scotland

    I'll give Thistle a crumb of comfort. When a team's as dominant as this and the way the game's set up - Hearts are so on to be counter-attacked. Aidan Fitzpatrick's pacey, Christie Elliot on the other side's pacey. If Thistle can get that one bit of quality they are on with the counter attack

  16. Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Partick Thistle give up possession too easily in their own half and Steven MacLean releases Uche Ikpeazu into the box but Steven Saunders gets across to make an important block.

  18. You Berra believe it

    Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Christophe Berra headed Hearts in front - the club captain's second goal of the season and the second to feature in this season's Scottish Cup.

  19. Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Finally an opportunity for Partick Thistle. James Penrice nutmegs his man to get towards the byeline and his cross is cut out by John Souttar. The Jags cannot make anything out of the corner but they have at least started to make in-roads to the Hearts box.

  20. Partick Thistle 0-1 Hearts

    Hearts have completely dominated the opening part of this match. Craig Levein's side are spraying the ball about with confidence and every time they have a set piece Partick Thistle look vulnerable.

    Arnaud Djoum has a shot deflected out for a corner as the visitors press again.
