GOALKEEPER Michael Andrews is preparing for the biggest game of his career, as he prepares to face Scottish Cup holders Hibernian this weekend.

Andrews, from Haddington, will be part of the Bonnyrigg Rose side to take on Hibs at Tynecastle in the fourth round on Saturday.

The East Superleague champions secured the glamour tie with a replay win over Championship side Dumbarton in the third round – and became the first ever junior side to knock out second-tier opposition.

Andrews is relishing Saturday’s match, and told Courier Sport: “It’s possibly the biggest game I could play in my career.

“It makes it bigger because Hibs are the holders of the cup.”

With Rose drawn as the home side, the match was moved away from their New Dundas Park home to meet demand for tickets.

The junior club came to an agreement with Hearts and the match will be played at Tynecastle.

Rose sold out their allocation of 4,900 tickets for Saturday’s match within 10 hours.

Meanwhile, Bonnyrigg Rose manager Robbie Horn believes the game has “caught the imagination” of the town, and added: “There is no doubt we could have sold a lot more tickets for the Bonnyrigg end.”

The 26-year-old keeper added: “The whole of Bonnyrigg is absolutely buzzing. I think it shows by the number of tickets we’ve sold and how quickly they went. The whole dressing room is buzzing for it as well. I can’t wait.”

The former Knox Academy pupil, who has had spells with Falkirk, East Stirling and Berwick Rangers, said the junior outfit would be “massive underdogs” against the holders, but could take confidence from their third round win.

He added: “We were massive underdogs against Dumbarton.

“Of course, we have to believe in ourselves to make chances and cause problems and after 90 minutes in football anything is possible – that has proved itself before.”

Andrews is joined in the Bonnyrigg squad by ex-Musselburgh Athletic trio Sean Jamieson, Lewis Turner and Adam Nelson, and the club’s longest-serving player, ex-Tranent Juniors defender Alan Horne, who is from Ormiston.
