Jim Goodwin believes the William Hill Scottish Cup gives St Mirren the chance to again dream of cup glory.
The Irishman was skipper when the Paisley side won the Betfred Cup in 2013 with a 3-2 win over Hearts in the final at Hampden Park.
Ahead of the home Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against Broxburn Athletic tomorrow, the Saints manager admitted that success can act as an incentive for another successful run.
He said: "The Scottish Cup is magnificent and it gives everybody an opportunity to dream. We are no different. You have to look to get through this next round and hope the draw is kind to you and you never know."
Goodwin knows his side have to handle the level of expectation against an underdog who will be backed by 1600 fans.
He said: "We should have enough quality in the starting lineup to do the business but I am not sure the Broxburn players will be coming here for a day out."
