"Clubs like ourselves we love a cup run," said O'Donnell before the midweek Scottish Premiership match away to Falkirk.
"We want to get to Hampden. I've not been fortunate enough to do it yet with any club. Hopefully, I can do it and be fit this time for selection.
"Hopefully, 201 can come on Wednesday night. I've been really fortunate that I've been able to stay fit for most of the time to get to so many games in six years.

Jens Bertel Askou's side are third in the league and Askou's assistant Max Rogers said it was "massive" for O'Donnell to have reached two centuries of appearances.
"He's a great personality" said Rogers. "He's been a really consistent player for us. With his experience, he's good to have in that leadership group with the other senior players.
"He's a good player to deal with and to work with."
