Maroon Memories: Bauld and company make the ballot after just ten minutes at Tynecastle
Within ten minutes Hearts had made their reservation in the second round ballot of the Scottish Cup secure. Two and a half minutes from the kick-off Dixon, fastening on to a lob from Laing, opened the scoring and fives minutes later a picture move worked by Dixon, Sloan and Wardhaugh ended with the last-mentioned practically knocking the bottom out of the contest with a second goal.
Airdrie, assisted by a strong wind and swirling ball, made occasional contact with Brown, and the Tynecastle goalkeeper was at full stretch dealing with a Picken drive. Generally speaking, however, it was just too easy for the Maroons.
