John up for cups again

Aug 24 2008

JOHN STEWART hopes he can repeat his cup heroics with Falkirk this season after dazzling during Queen of the South's sensational run to Hampden.

The Bairns striker was sent out on loan last term and stunned old club Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semis by netting the winner in a shock 4-3 victory.

Queens lost 3-2 to Rangers in the final but Stewart hopes to take the first step back to Hampden by beating Raith in the CIS Cup with Falkirk on Tuesday.

He said: "Any club would like a cup run and it was great to get to a final last season.

"Everyone at Falkirk would be delighted to play at Hampden but we will show Raith respect."
