Ben and James Johnston from Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro were at Hampden Park this afternoon as the twin brothers conducted a double draw for the quarter-finals of the Men's and Women's Scottish Cup competitions.
Following an action-packed weekend in both the men's and women's competitions, the draws took place back-to-back at the National Stadium, prior to Darvel's match against Falkirk.
First up was the Women's Scottish Cup draw, with eight-time winners Hibernian drawn away to Rangers. Hearts were paired with Celtic, who won this competition last year, prior to it being revamped.
Glasgow Women will take on Motherwell while SWPL leaders Glasgow City will travel to Kilmarnock.
In the men's draw, Hearts were drawn against Premiership table-toppers Celtic in a stand-out tie at Tynecastle.
Holders Rangers saw off Championship opposition in Partick Thistle and they welcome another side from that division in Ian Murray's Raith Rovers.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle are rewarded for their impressive 3-0 win over Livingston with a home tie against Kilmarnock, who are one game away from a return to Hampden, after their Viaplay Cup Semi-final defeat there last month.
Meanwhile, Darvel and Falkirk compete tonight knowing that Ayr United stand between them and a trip to the National Stadium.
The Men's Scottish Cup ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday, 11 March, with the Women's Scottish Cup matches taken place the following weekend.
Biffy Clyro may have played on the Hampden Park stage in front of a packed stadium but drummer Ben - who is a keen Kilmarnock supporter - admitted there were a few nerves as they returned to conduct today's double draw.
He said: "It was brand new. I didn't think I'd be nervous but because of the teams involved it was quite a scary prospect but it went okay, didn't it?
"Kilmarnock can't score away from home just now and now we have to go away up to the Highlands and try and do so. It'll be a tough task.
"I did like the prospect of Darvel or Falkirk playing against Ayr United. One of them getting to the semi-finals here at this glorious stadium is quite something.
"At least we got a home tie for the Kilmarnock women's team so they will be happy with that and a chance for them to get to Hampden as well."
Bassist James is also a Kilmarnock fan and he reflected on his memories of the National Stadium: "We came here as schoolkids for one game and since then we've been back everytime Killie have been here.
"I've always enjoyed the camaraderie of getting that many people together for a huge event, whether that be music or sport, there's always that incredible charge in the air when you come here.
"Of course it was very special to play here. We were asked by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to support them here and it was a fantastic gig. As hoped, we went down really well being the Scottish band on the bill. We'd happily come back any time."
The brothers both picked out Kilmarnock's 1997 Scottish Cup triumph as a sporting highlight, while Ben also reflected on his challenges in following the Ayrshire side while touring.
He added: To this day the Scottish Cup Final was one of the best days of my life. I was 17 and I was at Ibrox for the game and then I got the subway to the Barrowlands to watch the Foo Fighters play which was epic. Then I went down the road to Kilmarnock and the place was on fire.
"I remember being in North America one year and we were trying to have lunch and I had my phone on with Kilmarnock v Rangers and I was fist-pumping and trying not to upset Simon (Neil).
"I also remember being in a German market when we beat Hearts 3-0 and it always sticks in my head. I'm always on top of my Killie games. If I can watch them I will, anywhere in the world."
The twins - alongside Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil - finished a global tour with a number of UK gigs in November. James admitted that the trio could not wait to get back out there after a period back in Scotland during the covid-19 pandemic.
James explained: "We sold the tickets for the tour in Europe like three years ago and it was re-scheduled and re-scheduled. To finally get out there, there was so much want from the audience and from us. We were like coiled springs just ready to get going.
"It reminded me that we as people have been getting together in groups for thousands of years. It's a natural thing for human beings and not being able to do it was weird but it was better than we ever thought it could have been."
Ben added: "We made up for lost time by getting out on the road as much as possible. We've also released a lot of music over the last few years. The last thing we want to do is to make people sick of us. You'll still see us around the place and we're a hard working band so we'll always be back sooner than you think."
