00:00Hearts are in the Scottish Cup semi-finals yet again, their fifth date to Hamden in seven years
00:08after a 3-1 win over Dundee here at Tyne Castle in the quarter-finals.
00:13The hero was Norwegian midfielder Sander Kartum, a January signing from Brandbergen
00:18who scored a brace of really, really nice goals to see off Tony Docherty's spirited visitors.
00:25Kartum arrived with a reputation of a cultured left foot and a player that liked to get into goalscoring positions
00:31and he did that here on more than one occasion.
00:33His opening goal, a lovely left-footed finish high into the net to break the deadlock
00:38and his second move through the second half, a really beautiful finish with the outside of his foot
00:43to kill off Dundee and making it sure Hearts won by three goals to one.
00:47Dundee played their part in an absorbing encounter, they haven't won the Scottish Cup for 115 years
00:52and they were backed by a sizeable away support that made this a really gripping encounter under the lights
00:58but in the end Hearts were too strong, Dundee's defence yet again letting them down
01:02and the Jambos under their manager Neil Critchley getting the perfect antidote
01:05to the pain of losing the Edinburgh derby just five days ago.
01:08They can look forward to Monday's Scottish Cup semi-final draw, they're safely in the hat
01:12after a 3-1 win here at Tyne Castle.
