En route to winning the Scottish Cup 125 years ago. Hearts beat East Stirlingshire 3-1 in the quarter final .

 

There was controversy when the Hearts right back fisted the ball out from under the bar.

 

This led to the SFA supporting the Irish FA in the introduction of the penalty kick.

 

As an aside the first two penalties conceded by Hearts were by Jimmy Adams.
