Hibernian coach Grant Murray has given his players the ideal insight into the dangers posed by William Hill Scottish Cup opponents Raith Rovers.
Murray – who is in caretaker charge along with Eddie May – was Raith manager when the then Championship club beat top-flight Hibs in the competition five years ago.
League One Rovers are now led by John McGlynn, who managed Murray in Kirkcaldy during the latter stages of his playing career, and beat Dunfermline 3-0 in the previous round.
"I said that to the players, they will come here with a belief that they can get something from the game," said Murray, who also led Raith to a Challenge Cup final win over Rangers at Easter Road.
"I was fortunate to have played under John and we had a great cup record there. We went to Dens Park and won, next round went to Aberdeen and beat them, and we found ourselves in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
"Fortunately for myself I got the job and we had a tie at Easter Road and went there with the belief we could get something, and we did.
"We have to respect them, they are winning games, they are scoring goals. It's up to us to focus and have the players ready."
Murray and May are set to take charge for a fourth game as the club continue the recruitment process for a replacement for Neil Lennon.
Former Ipswich boss Jim Magilton has emerged as a favourite with ex-Leeds head coach Paul Heckingbottom and former Blackburn manager Michael Appleton also believed to be in the running.
But Murray is confident the players will ignore the speculation and get on with the job in hand.
"That's our job as coaches, to get them prepared properly out on the training pitch," he said.
"As a football player, that's the one place you can switch off, out on the training pitch and out on the pitch, because all you are focusing on is winning games of football."
