Ross County are looking to add Dundee United to their list of SPL scalps in the Scottish Cup final.
Division One side aiming to cause huge cup upset
Underdogs Ross County are looking to add Dundee United to their list of Scottish Premier League scalps in Saturday's Active Nation Scottish Cup final.
The First Division side have already beaten SPL duo Hibernian and Celtic on their way to the Hampden showpiece, and assistant manager Craig Brewster is hoping to be a lucky omen for the men from Dingwall.
Brewster was a member of the Dundee United squad that lifted the Scottish Cup in 1994 and hopes it could be County's turn this time around.
"In '94, I knew right away that we were all up for it," he said.
"You could sense it. And, as a coach standing on the sidelines and a manager standing on the sidelines, you can sense it as well."
And the 43-year-old believes there is no reason why the same feeling that saw County crush Stirling Albion 9-0, upset Hibernian and stun Celtic will not be replicated on Saturday.
"The run in the cup this year, we scored nine goals in one round, we beat Hibs after a replay, we beat Celtic in Glasgow," Brewster said.
"So the players have got to take great belief from that, knowing they can perform on the big stage.
Overcome
Striker Jon Daly would love to see Lee Wilkie lift the cup for Dundee United if they can overcome Ross County.
Club captain Wilkie was forced to retire at the age of just 29 last month after being plagued by knee problems.
The Tayside club have already confirmed the former defender will lead the team out at the national stadium, instead of boss Peter Houston, and Daly says Wilkie will act as their inspiration this weekend.
The striker said: "It's been a sad year for Lee, the way things have worked out for him.
"He was a good player for us and he's a great character around the dressing room.
"It would be fantastic to win the cup and maybe get him up to lift the trophy."
Dundee United news
Dundee United manager Peter Houston has been boosted by the news that Mihael Kovacevic and Danny Cadamarteri are both available.
Kovacevic (hamstring) and Cadamarteri (dislocated shoulder) have both recovered from their respective injuries and could be in the squad to face Ross County at Hampden.
Paul Dixon is still out with a broken foot, while Darren Dods will also miss out as he prepares to undergo a cartilage operation on Monday.
Ross County news
Ross County boss Derek Adams expects to have a full squad for the Active Nation Scottish Cup final.
Richard Brittain and Alex Keddie are both back from suspension.
Goalkeeper Michael McGovern should also return after missing County's final league game of the season with a minor knock.
