They left it late, but Hearts are into the Scottish Cup fifth round after a last-gasp 2-1 win over Spartans. The 40-year-old sprung up to tip a volley from former Hibs kid Callum Booth over the crossbar after 20 minutes. but the pattern was wave after wave of Hearts possession, with Spartans camped on the edge of their own box, unable to get out. The Jambos' top scorer was missing through illness, although Hearts still should have had enough quality to see Spartans off. That was always most likely to come from a set piece and from their first corner, Booth sclaffed a cross to Craigen, and he did the rest.
