Scottish Cup: Rangers star stands between East Kilbride striker and top goalscorer prize

East Kilbride star Joao Victoria could take home the Scottish Cup top goalscorer prize on Saturday - but he faces a battle with Rangers striker Fashion Sakala to come out on top.

Kilby's Portuguese striker has scored six goals in the competition this season and currently tops the charts by two from Lothian Thistle's Errol Douglas, having netted four times in a 10-1 first round win over Coldstream and twice in a 2-2 draw away to Peterhead in the fourth round, which the K-Park side eventually lost on penalties.

Eliminated Celtic frontman Giorgos Giakoumakis also has four goals in this season's campaign, but Gers star Sakala, who has three, is one of the few players in with a realistic chance of stopping Victoria.

Rangers face Hearts in Saturday's Scottish Cup final and Sakala will need at least a hat-trick to share the prize with Victoria and four to become the outright winner.

The Zambian forward has so far scored solitary goals in wins over Stirling, Annan and Dundee on the way to the showpiece at Hampden.

The Ibrox side go into the game of the back of last night's heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat in the Europa League final and will be desperate to atone for that by finishing the season with silverware.

Hearts heroes Liam Boyce, Ellis Simms and Peter Haring all sit on two Scottish Cup goals going into the final.

We are sure Victoria will be watching on with interest...
