Darvel Scottish Cup heroes handed live TV spot for last 16 clash against Falkirk

Darvel have been rewarded with a second successive live TV showing after their Scottish Cup heroics.

The East Ayrshire side will be representing the West of Scotland League as they bid to see off Falkirk for an unthinkable quarter-final spot.

They were handed a home tie with the Bairns after famously dumping seven-time winners Aberdeen out of the prestigious competition.

The clash at Recreation Park will be beamed live on BBC Scotland on Monday, February 13.

It joins Hamilton v Hearts which is on the channel on Friday, February 10.

Celtic v St Mirren and Rangers v Partick Thistle are live on Viaplay on Saturday, February 11 and Sunday, February 12 respectively.

Following the famous victory on Monday night, elated Darvel chairman John Gall said: “This just means everything, it really does.

“From when we started building something seven years ago, who’d have thought we’d be beating Aberdeen?

“It is unbelievable, I am over the moon and it’s just fantastic for everyone.

“What a set of players! The management team, the committee, everyone in Darvel deserves credit.

“There’s bound to be a party in every house, it’s absolutely brilliant!”
