Aberdeen striker Toyosi Olusanya knows there is "something special" about Hampden – now he wants to experience it for himself.
Olusanya has never played at the national stadium, having left St Mirren last year before they won the Premier Sports Cup and returned to Scotland with Aberdeen following their Scottish Cup success.
The holders travel to Dunfermline on Saturday seeking victory to secure a Hampden semi-final.
And with their chances of finishing in the top six over, the Dons' cup defence has taken on even more significance.
Olusanya, who is on loan from Houston Dynamo, said: "Every game is important to us but especially the cup. It is something to give ourselves as players.
"Everybody says about last year and you remember that for the rest of your lives, the same as the fans and the club. It means so much to everyone.
"That is what you are in football for, to win games and trophies. If you can do that it would be even better and a big positive for yourself and career. You will remember it, the club will, the fans. Things like that aren't forgotten.
"I have been in Scotland for just over three years, almost four years. I have never played at Hampden.
"It is a very special occasion. I have been there to see one or two of my friends play. You can tell there is something special about the place.
"Even talking to the boys from last year, it is something the boys would all love to achieve again."
