Now it is time to cross to Rob Maclean and the Sportsline team. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello from Easter Road, an Edinburgh derby with an even bigger prize than | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
normal. Derby day in Edinburgh, and the | :00:18. | :00:40. | |
capital comes alive. Third is two teams, it is a match that matters so | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
much. The teams are here, the fans can't wait. The scene is set for the | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
second Edinburgh derby of the season. Playing for a place in the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
league cup semifinals, it is Hibs against Hearts. | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
Yeah, it could be quite a night. With me in the studio tonight, two | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
men who have won the captain's armband in this famous fixture, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Michael Stewart and Ian Murray. The match will of course be played with | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
extra time and penalties if required. If the match is settled | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
within 90 minutes, we will have an extra half-hour of analysis and | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
interviews for you later via the BBC website. We will have highlights for | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
you of Inverness versus Dundee United at half-time. That was quite | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
a quarterfinal played in the Highland capital last night. There | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
was controversy surrounding that. And we will have news from | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
tonight's other quarterfinals. Morton play St Johnstone. News of | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
that will be built into our live coverage from here at Easter Road. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Ian, let's talk about this one. Hibs have hardly set the heather alight | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
this season. Tonight could make a big difference? Massive game for | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
them. The pressure is on Hibs. Hearts are a young team. Hibs are at | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
home. For me, I think it is a home win. Is that a wily campaigner like | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
Billy Brown trying to wind things up? Maybe a little bit, but I think | :02:40. | :02:52. | |
he was in what he said. Of course, they want to win. Do they expect to | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
win? I'm not so sure. The odds appear to be stacked against Hearts, | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
but they have won before? Year, they have. It was the same sin REO -- the | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
same scenario before. And it was the same coming in here tonight. We were | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
talking about how we thought the game was going to go, and this is a | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
night Hibs have got to try and win. But the more we spoke about it, the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
more I got the feeling that Hearts have a chance. If you are a Hibs | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
fan, you are always apprehensive going into a derby. If you are a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Hearts fan, but some reason there was always more expectancy. Hearts | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
have got a chance. It will be close. That wonderful soundtrack in the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
background to a massive mat at Easter Road. It is the Edinburgh | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
derby. The winners tonight will take their place in the last four for the | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
linkup edition. Your commentators are Billy Dodds and Liam McLeod. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
The evening. More than 300 times, these two have crossed swords, but | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
the scars of league cup after a few. Incredibly, it is the fourth time | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
these teams have been drawn together in this competition. Twice in 1947 | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
and 1956, both won by Hearts. The most recent one was in November | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
2006, and it saw Hibs go through at this stage, faxed to a Rob Jones | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
goal. As the crow flies, there are only about three and a half miles | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
between the clubs, but there are 22 points separating them in the | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
league, with Hearts rooted to the bottom of the premiership, mainly | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
due to their financial penalty for going into administration. They are | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
still waiting for news on that front in the near future. Right now, they | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
are down to the bare bones. They are still hurting from that game at | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Hampden Park not even a year and a half ago. Paul hasn't played the | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
final part of the second-round loss to Hamilton. | :05:16. | :05:31. | |
What a boost to the Hearts team to have Ryan Stevenson available. | :05:32. | :05:56. | |
Just two defeat in ten, Pat Fenlon looking at the positives. He is | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
beside Jimmy Nicholl, who won this competition at Kilmarnock alongside | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Kenny Shiels. What a tough task it has been for the Hearts manager this | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
season. It is the referee's first Edinburgh derby. He took charge of | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
last season's Scottish cup final as the Hibees went down 3-0 to Celtic. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
And it will be the hosts who will start this showpiece match of this | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
year's league cup quarterfinal. The draw for the semis of the | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
competition is made tomorrow. Inverness Caley Thistle are already | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
there. Which of these great capital clubs will be taking their place | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
alongside them 's three times winner is Hibs or the four time winners and | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
last year's runners-up, heart of Midlothian? Under the floodlights in | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
Leith, there must be a winner. No mucking about, no replays. Four of | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
Hearts' last league cup games have gone all the way to penalties. I | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
hope I am wrong, but I think because of the pressure on the expectancy, | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
they will be tense and nervous. You have two teams giving maximum effort | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
and endeavour. I would like an early goal. Both teams will be getting | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
into this. There have just been six goals scored in the last five | :07:37. | :07:37. | |
Edinburgh derbies. Hibs fans arriving late are making | :07:38. | :08:01. | |
their way to their seats at the Hearts end. They have sold that end | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
out. Jamie Hamill gets the free kick. He | :08:08. | :08:30. | |
will be very important for Hearts tonight. One of their more | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
experienced players. Ryan Stevenson is 29. Free kick given. That is the | :08:35. | :08:47. | |
way it is going to be for at least the first ten, 15 minutes of this | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
match. The ball just will not settle. What | :08:50. | :09:45. | |
an education it has been for the majority of the youthful Hearts | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
squad. The captain is only 21. It is easy to forget that. | :09:50. | :10:21. | |
A late challenge by Ryan Stevenson on Robertson. I am not going to beat | :10:22. | :10:34. | |
on too much about Stevenson, but that just shows you. | :10:35. | :10:55. | |
That was a great all in -- a great ball in! But hit the woodwork. Jamie | :10:56. | :11:14. | |
Hamill is poleaxed inside his own penalty area. It is Hibs who are | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
pressing and pressing. It all came from Jamie MacDonald. | :11:18. | :11:36. | |
Gets a great header on it, Paul Hanlon. Hanlon attacked that so | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
well. McDonald gets lucky. Hamill is being | :11:46. | :12:10. | |
helped off the park just now. Had a bang to that left leg. Hearts lost | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
Ryan Stevenson for a spell early in the campaign. Aside from one, there | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
is no one older than 22 in the Hearts team tonight. | :12:29. | :12:40. | |
Ben Williams has had an assured presence in the Hibernian goal this | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
campaign. That was a foul on Craig. It seems that Hearts have a storm to | :12:47. | :13:07. | |
whether here. Loads of green and white in the box. | :13:08. | :13:34. | |
We thought Hearts' setup would be a FourFourTwo. Hearts are just trying | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
to get through the first ten, 15 minutes. | :13:37. | :13:50. | |
We certainly did not expect to see Ryan Stevenson in the Hearts line-up | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
tonight. Kevin Thomson was tempted by the | :13:55. | :14:50. | |
effort. You can hear the Hibs fans. They sense that a goal might be in | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
the offing for their team. Morton versus St Johnstone have a | :14:53. | :15:22. | |
7:30pm start. And at 7:45pm, Motherwell against Aberdeen. | :15:23. | :15:50. | |
James Collins was on the ball there. He is finding it difficult to cement | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
his place on the Hibs team. Hibs have started a better than | :15:57. | :16:09. | |
against Aberdeen at the weekend. Hibs are on the front foot taking | :16:10. | :16:51. | |
the game to Hearts. A real test for this young Hearts | :16:52. | :17:04. | |
team. It is a straight wall. Never going | :17:05. | :17:26. | |
to get on the end of that. How do Hearts best approach this | :17:27. | :19:09. | |
game the way it opens up? They are doing the right thing. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Hibs are passing the ball around well. They need to be in these early | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
moments. A great flick on from Collins. | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Promising foreheads. -- for Hibs. Really good work initially by James | :19:23. | :20:09. | |
Collins. Somehow it stays out! McGowan and | :20:10. | :21:09. | |
Wilson, McGowan with the challenge on McPake. It was McGee. He does | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
well to get it away. A fine stop by MacDonald. Hearts do | :21:16. | :21:27. | |
enough to get it away. Constant pressure. It's not over yet for | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Hearts. Well, wonderful midfield work. | :21:31. | :21:55. | |
Hearts have barely been able to string a couple of passes together | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
on the deck. Hibs are in their faces. | :21:59. | :22:17. | |
Evenson is still only 25, seems to have been around forever. Wonderful | :22:18. | :22:32. | |
against Kilmarnock. It is attack after attack here. The | :22:33. | :23:10. | |
men in green and white. Oh, what a save from McDonald's. | :23:11. | :23:37. | |
Onto the crossbar and it stays 0-0. I cannot tell you how good a save | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
that was from Jamie MacDonald. My word, what a touch, what an angle. | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
Through the legs of McHattie. What a save! A stunning piece of | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
goalkeeping. It keeps the score blank. The goal is being peppered. | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
Hearts can just take a breather. 17.5 minutes in to the Edinburgh | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
derby. Hearts have been excellent. | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
Absolutely stunning. They have to release the pressure. | :24:29. | :25:23. | |
Sometimes you don't get great derbies but this is excellent so | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
far. Hibs taking the game to Hearts. A great league cup ties so far. The | :25:30. | :26:05. | |
prize is a place in the semifinals. MacDonald again. He is keeping his | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
team in it single-handedly right now! So positive. | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
How much longer can Hearts sustain this? | :26:22. | :26:44. | |
It is difficult to see Hearts keeping Hibs out the way this game | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
is going so far. They have got through the first 20. | :26:50. | :27:05. | |
A great save from McDonald's. They are still hanging in there. You can | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
only give Hearts credit so far. The fans would like them to play a bit | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
better. Hibs are constantly at Hearts's throats. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
The last meeting was November 2006, a quarterfinal. Rob Jones with the | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
only goal. The Hearts fans are claiming | :27:30. | :27:42. | |
handball. Two fantastic saves. He deserves his | :27:43. | :28:20. | |
luck, he kept his team in it. They cannot get it on target. | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
Good game! Jamie MacDonald acknowledging the supporters. They | :28:26. | :28:36. | |
are appreciating his efforts so far. He is all that is standing between | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
Hibs and a lead right now. Lewis Stevenson in his 21st capital | :28:42. | :28:56. | |
derby. They just can't make it stick, can | :28:57. | :30:08. | |
the visitors. Vine and Collins have had their fair | :30:09. | :31:02. | |
share of headers in the match so far. They can't sustain this level | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
for 90 minutes, plus possible extra time, can they? Who, Hibs? Hearts | :31:09. | :31:16. | |
have worked so hard. You wonder if they can keep up the energy levels. | :31:17. | :31:23. | |
The fact that Hibs have not taken advantage of their superiority so | :31:24. | :31:24. | |
far... They have been good so far, Hibs, | :31:25. | :31:43. | |
with Hearts hanging on. Hamill takes the free kick for Hearts. Ben | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
Williams gets to see a bit of the ball there. He was 16 when he scored | :31:50. | :31:58. | |
against Aberdeen in August, John Magee. He is a Scotland under 21 | :31:59. | :32:05. | |
international already. Hibs have to remember, even though | :32:06. | :33:04. | |
they are dominating, they have got defending to do as well. At some | :33:05. | :33:11. | |
points, with the right ball, Hearts could have been in. | :33:12. | :33:34. | |
Brilliant opportunity, this, from the Luke for the men from the other | :33:35. | :34:04. | |
side of the capital. The two Stevensons come together. | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
Billy Dodds is shaking his head. We have got a battle on our hands | :34:14. | :34:56. | |
out that tonight. If this had been your average league | :34:57. | :35:36. | |
get game, Ryan Stevenson would have been missed tonight. I would agree. | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
It is Lazarus-like, his recovery from Saturday. He was just back from | :35:45. | :35:46. | |
a long-term injury. Hibs free kick. James Collins cost | :35:47. | :36:05. | |
?200,000 over the summer. Former Aston Villa youth player. Arriving | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
from Swindon, and he has taken up his place in the penalty area. The | :36:13. | :36:21. | |
home fans expect them. -- expect them to. | :36:22. | :36:41. | |
Ryan McGivern is here permanently now after a loan season last year | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
from Manchester City. The first half hour has flown by. | :36:48. | :37:24. | |
The capital derby. The good thing for Hearts is that a lot of their | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
players have in experience last season. | :37:29. | :37:46. | |
It has been tough for them in the last few weeks. Six defeats in | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
seven. Wilson just takes him out. First | :37:51. | :38:51. | |
booking of the night goes to Danny Wilson. | :38:52. | :39:05. | |
There is a foul on Walker by Robertson. You can see a bit more | :39:06. | :39:19. | |
from up the stands sometimes. At the moment, Hearts can't get | :39:20. | :39:45. | |
their strikers into the game. Stevenson! It is unbelievable! | :39:46. | :39:57. | |
Unbelievable! Up against the odds, Ryan Stevenson draws the first Lord | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
of the Edinburgh derby! What a turnaround -- he draws the first | :40:04. | :40:11. | |
blood. This was stunning. From absolutely nowhere, the game has | :40:12. | :40:18. | |
turned on its head. He has had one shot, he set his sights, ticks it up | :40:19. | :40:27. | |
and just lashes it behind Williams, absolutely no chance. Incredible | :40:28. | :40:36. | |
stuff. What a hit that is. I don't think Hearts players can believe it. | :40:37. | :40:44. | |
Ryan Stevenson has been booked in the wake of that. He went from that | :40:45. | :40:50. | |
end all the way to the other. The man who scored both their goals in | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
last season's final has got the opener here, against the run of | :40:56. | :41:08. | |
play, big-time. It was all Hibs until then. They pounded Jamie | :41:09. | :41:15. | |
MacDonald's goal. McDonald made a couple of brilliant saves. Followed | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
by this, from Stevenson, booked for his celebrations as this dudes try | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
to put out a flower which has come from the Hearts end. -- they have | :41:28. | :41:35. | |
tried to put out a flare. You just can't celebrity a goal any more. -- | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
celebrate a goal any more. We are back under way now. It is the | :41:40. | :42:04. | |
Hearts fans who are celebrating. The Hibernian supporters asked under by | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
what they have seen. -- they are stunned. They thought it was only a | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
matter of time before they scored, but it is that lot there who have | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
seen their team get the ball into the net, and that is what counts at | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
the end of the day. Football is a funny old game, isn't it? You are a | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
team who have been pummelled the 20, 25 minutes, and suddenly you get | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
through that period. Hibs are looking for immediate | :42:33. | :42:50. | |
retaliation here. They claimed handball against Paterson. Now the | :42:51. | :42:51. | |
men in maroon are up again. When you are up against it and you | :42:52. | :43:06. | |
are being pummelled, the words you used, you need a piece of magic, and | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
Ryan Stevenson Khan did that up from nowhere. -- he conjured that up. We | :43:12. | :43:25. | |
know he has got a strike on him. It was a screamer. The Hearts assistant | :43:26. | :43:36. | |
manager, Billy Brown, said at the media conference yesterday that the | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
pressure was all on Hibs. It certainly is now. Do Hibs have an | :43:39. | :43:50. | |
answer? They have seldom come up with an answer at home in recent | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
times. Just four victory is in the calendar year here so far. You are | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
not getting much for your season ticket at Easter Road just now. | :43:59. | :44:23. | |
Hearts have gained confidence from the fact that they got their goal. | :44:24. | :45:25. | |
The Hibs supporters are rubbing their eyes in disbelief at what is | :45:26. | :45:32. | |
going on here. The fans, the players and the management team are all in | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
shock. Sometimes you do get shocks in games. It is just how you react | :45:39. | :45:40. | |
to it. Patterson may have been on the move | :45:41. | :46:01. | |
quicker. Walker tried to guide it back into the far corner. | :46:02. | :47:20. | |
Willie Collum was not happy with the challenge. Willie Collum it will be | :47:21. | :47:27. | |
a busy bee here. Willie Collum taking names, there | :47:28. | :47:53. | |
were a few involved. The third Hearts player to be booked tonight. | :47:54. | :48:14. | |
He hasn't finished yet. Willie Collum books Scott Robinson. Four | :48:15. | :48:23. | |
Hearts players on a yellow card. It is getting a bit naughty out | :48:24. | :48:38. | |
there! Plenty for Clancy to deal with last | :48:39. | :49:07. | |
night. Ten bookings for Dundee United. | :49:08. | :49:13. | |
There were only two or three not booked from United team! | :49:14. | :49:38. | |
Plenty of time for the host will stop -- hosts. Full. | :49:39. | :49:59. | |
McPake could not get it flush on the head. Jamie MacDonald clings on for | :50:00. | :50:30. | |
dear life. Hearts survive again. Two minutes | :50:31. | :50:40. | |
being added on at the end. The final minute of the 45. Two | :50:41. | :51:03. | |
being added on at the end. Willie Collum has had a busy night. | :51:04. | :51:20. | |
McGivern is from Newry in Northern Ireland. He wasn't in the squad for | :51:21. | :51:28. | |
the matches in October. Craig has been on fine goal-scoring | :51:29. | :52:09. | |
form. Willie Collum did not feel it was a | :52:10. | :52:32. | |
free kick so gives it to Hearts for the handball. | :52:33. | :52:51. | |
We saw John Robertson before the goal coming down to the dugout, | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
pointing the way. Hebburn in with the opportunity to | :52:56. | :53:44. | |
try to level matters before the interval. -- Hibernian. | :53:45. | :53:51. | |
Hearts have held form. An astonishing start at Easter Road. | :53:52. | :54:02. | |
Ryan Stevenson with a wonder strike for Hearts to give them the lead. | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
Jamie MacDonald just as big a hero as the man who put the ball in the | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
back of the net with two wonderful saves from Robertson and Paul Hanlon | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
hit the left-hand post as well. The Jambos lead at half-time. | :54:20. | :54:34. | |
You would not see a more glaring example of a sucker punch in a | :54:35. | :54:41. | |
football match than that. Let's hear from Michael Stewart and Ian Murray. | :54:42. | :54:48. | |
Hibs must be stunned in the dressing room. They will be, disappointed. | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
They played exceptionally well at times. It looked like only a matter | :54:54. | :55:04. | |
of time. Foreheads to keep doing that 45 minutes, to keep going and | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
going and going. Stevenson went up front. Hearts looked livelier. | :55:09. | :55:17. | |
How far were Hearts out of that in the first half hour? | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
When they turned up at Easter Road tonight, it was as much as an | :55:23. | :55:32. | |
Edinburgh derby as I've seen. With the pressure and momentum with one | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
team and they don't score, the other team... Identity so much they | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
changed the shape or made difference. They made the change | :55:42. | :55:50. | |
earlier. For me, what's important is one of the best players on the team | :55:51. | :55:55. | |
working so hard. You have to have those players down the spine of the | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
team. When he is out wide, he is wasted. He is capable of bits of | :56:02. | :56:09. | |
magic. He looks for it, just shortly before that, he cut in from the | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
left-hand as well. I think it's vital he gets kept in the middle of | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
the pitch because we can produce things like we saw. | :56:20. | :56:25. | |
It had seemed a matter of time before Hibs scored. | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
Hibs were doing well making McDonald's work hard. The header was | :56:31. | :56:40. | |
off the post. The bottom line is you have to take chances. If you don't | :56:41. | :56:46. | |
get the goal in common playing so well, you start to worry. | :56:47. | :56:57. | |
That was the pick of the bunch. He had a couple of shaky moments, he | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
came out for a couple of punches and the one that led up to where it hit | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
the post, before that he punched one, and later on a corner and | :57:07. | :57:14. | |
heeded not cleared the box. So, he more than made up that with his | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
saves in the first half. It was needed. Hibs will be so disappointed | :57:20. | :57:25. | |
because they had the majority of possession, creating opportunities. | :57:26. | :57:32. | |
When Hearts scored it looked as if the confidence disappeared out of | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
the team. They were slower, they need to speed it up. | :57:37. | :57:42. | |
The hero status is shared between Jamie MacDonald and Ryan Stevenson. | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
A fantastic strike. It is not even a good ball in. He | :57:48. | :57:55. | |
knows where the goals are. Paul Hamill on Stevenson. It takes a | :57:56. | :58:04. | |
split second to score a goal. Hibs have a tough game on their hands. | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
The next goal is massively important. It could be game over. | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
Hibs have to get the equaliser. This is one of three league cup | :58:16. | :58:22. | |
quarterfinals going on tonight. A 7:30pm start for Morton against | :58:23. | :58:30. | |
Saint Johnstone. 20 minutes gone, terrific football stadium. | :58:31. | :58:34. | |
A solid start for both Morton and Saint Johnstone. McLauchlan with a | :58:35. | :58:41. | |
header and the goalkeeper dealt with it comfortably. | :58:42. | :59:03. | |
30 years since Morton reached a league cup semifinal. There's a lot | :59:04. | :59:10. | |
of drama to come in this one yet. Sorry, Sam problems. | :59:11. | :59:17. | |
We will keep tabs on that one. Fir Park started 7:45pm. It remains | :59:18. | :59:25. | |
0-0. A big atmosphere. A big moment the | :59:26. | :59:31. | |
referee after four minutes, Motherwell had the ball in the net, | :59:32. | :59:37. | |
it looked as if he drifted from offside. Loitering with intent. The | :59:38. | :59:50. | |
assistant said that Sutton was offside. It was chalked off. In the | :59:51. | :59:59. | |
driving rain here, it is all Motherwell in the early stages. Nine | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
minutes played. It is still 0-0. The first of the quarterfinals did not | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
leave us short on talking points. Inverness played Dundee United. The | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
best of it now with John Barnes. And United have lost one of the last | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
eight visit to the Caledonian Stadium. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
What a strike that is! Dundee United in front after only five minutes. A | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
terrific effort there from the United full-back. To put the | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
visitors in front. The referee spotted an infringement. | :00:44. | :01:20. | |
I think it was Mackay with a push in the back of patent. -- Peyton. | :01:21. | :01:50. | |
It is all kicking off now. What Draper stepping in. -- prostrate | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
burst opinion. The referee has got some work to do here. It is a red | :01:58. | :02:13. | |
card for the United striker. The top goal-scorer is asked to leave the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
field. There have already been a couple of yellow cards, and now | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Terry Butcher is being shown to the stand Tom as is Darren Jackson, the | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
United coach, all because of this. Warren! And Inverness are back | :02:27. | :03:02. | |
level. Gary Warren, with his second goal of the season, nine minutes | :03:03. | :03:17. | |
into the second half. Billy Mackay really should have buried that. It | :03:18. | :03:31. | |
was a great setup from Doran. Billy Mackay is grounded. He is appealing, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
but the referee is having none of it. A yellow card for dissent from | :03:35. | :03:52. | |
Mackay. Ross Draper at the back! In the final minute of extra time. | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
Draper may well have clinched Caley Thistle's plays in the semi league | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
final -- the semifinal. How do you some all that up? | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
Very difficult to do that. We got into trouble with some of the | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
decisions, especially the sending of. Our boys kept on going, so | :04:23. | :04:36. | |
credit to them. We played up until the last minute of the game, putting | :04:37. | :04:49. | |
balls in the box. I am proud of the way they kept going, their energy | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
levels, the way they kept helping each other, even when things were | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
going against them. Just disappointed that we did not last | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
and ticket to penalties. Later we have Sportscene extra online. We | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
will have an extra bit of chat on the BBC website. Iain Murray, I have | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
seen you and a few of those in your time. Difficult for the referee, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
wasn't it, to pick out who merited a red card? It is hard, because there | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
are so many people and then the managers get involved. You can't see | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
everything. He was maybe a bit harsh. Talking of a red card, let's | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
see what happened for Motherwell versus Aberdeen. Yes, Aberdeen are | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
already down to ten men. Joe Shaughnessy's straight red card for | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
a really bad challenge. The Motherwell man was getting forward. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
The Aberdeen full-back came and launched right into him, and the | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
referee had no hesitation in flashing a direct red card. The Dons | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
are down to ten men. Remember that Motherwell have had the ball in the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
net. That was chalked off, correctly in my opinion. It came from an | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
offside position. It is all happening here. It is early days at | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
Fir Park. We have had an amazing first half here at Easter Road. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Remarkable, the way it has panned out. We did not expect to see Ryan | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Stevenson here because of his injury over the weekend. Not only has he | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
featured, but he scored the goal. I was surprised to see him featured | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
after being sent for a scan. He does not even think about it, just | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
smashes it into the back of the net. Vital player for Hearts. Jamie | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
MacDonald has had an amazing first half as well. It started badly for | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
him. Year, he should have caught that, and it hit the woodwork. But | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
after that, he has acted magnificently. It might be his night | :07:34. | :07:48. | |
as a goalie. If he is not holding it, he can't allow the ball to | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
drop. That was a dangerous area. But this was the big one. That was an | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
absolute cracker. To get that up onto the bar was a phenomenal save. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
We watched that from behind, and the moment it struck we thought it was a | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
goal. Those normally go in, because the goalkeeper can't keep them out. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
But it was a magnificent save, as good as you will see. What an | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
amazing first half. It will be interesting to see the reactions of | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
the two teams. Hibs have gone a goal behind. Hearts were not really in | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the game until Ryan Stevenson scored spectacularly. At the other end, | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
Jamie MacDonald has been superb, with that wonder save to keep out | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Scott Robertson. The second half is about to get underway. Leigh Dodds | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
and Liam McLeod. Yeah, just about ready to go again. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Hibs have won the league cup three times. In 1972, 1991 and 2007. | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
Hearts have won it four times, all within eight years in 1954, 1959 and | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
1962, including twice under Tommy Walker. | :09:14. | :09:43. | |
Ryan Stevenson's second goal of the season is the difference between the | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
two teams so far. Hibs started the first half like a rocket. They will | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
be hoping to do so again in the second period. Hibs were unbeaten | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
against Hearts last season. Hearts have the early-season | :10:08. | :10:29. | |
bragging rights in this campaign, and they lead here. That is a modern | :10:30. | :10:44. | |
day rule, you can't go in with your studs up. But I think it is | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
impossible to do a tackle with your studs down. Dylan McGowan with the | :10:51. | :11:14. | |
free kick. He was a frustrated figure at Hampden Park back in | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
March, Ryan Stevenson. Yes, they have tested Jamie | :11:20. | :12:00. | |
MacDonald, but they were finding that problematic against Aberdeen at | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
the weekend. Tonight, it has been the same situation when they have | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
got into the Hearts penalty area. I am sure Stevenson gets at least a | :12:06. | :12:36. | |
head on that. I think everybody in this stadium is | :12:37. | :13:04. | |
in shock, including the Hearts fans and ourselves. Kids will be saying, | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
we have got to get back to what we do -- Hibs. | :13:11. | :13:33. | |
We will keep you up-to-date with what is happening in the other two | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
ties. Hearts have the advantage here, Hibs trying to claw their way | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
back. Hearts have only one away from home | :13:49. | :14:24. | |
once this season. It was in this competition. | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
Hibs won an indirect free kick for the pass back there. | :14:32. | :16:52. | |
There was too much on it. Excellent opportunity. A man who knows what it | :16:53. | :17:15. | |
takes to win the Scottish league cup. Former manager of kill Marnoch. | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
Guided Killy last year, 2012. -- kill Marnoch. | :17:24. | :18:13. | |
There were green and white options in the middle. Good play from | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
McGivern. Hibs haven't been as good at the | :18:20. | :19:20. | |
start of the second half as the first. Hearts aren't using the ball | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
to good effect. Hearts have got themselves into a situation where | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
they could counterattack... The pressure is on Hibs. | :19:34. | :20:35. | |
Gary Locke doing a fine job under the circumstances. | :20:36. | :21:06. | |
Hearts supporters happy to still have a club to support! That is the | :21:07. | :21:20. | |
main thing. Still waiting on news from Lithuania. They can't be bought | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
until the major shareholder are put into liquidation. | :21:30. | :21:46. | |
Hibs fans are getting restless. Very restless. So is their manager. He is | :21:47. | :23:09. | |
twitchy. They are dependent on experience | :23:10. | :23:39. | |
guys tonight. A bit of connection is all that is | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
needed. They will do well to avoid a card | :23:49. | :24:29. | |
here, Kevin Thomson. He is being pulled over by Willie Collum. | :24:30. | :25:02. | |
Hence are about to make the change at the next stoppage in play. -- | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Hibs. Hearts still leads the Derby here in | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
the capital. Ryan Stevenson wasn't even meant to | :25:15. | :26:44. | |
be playing tonight. He has proved to be the Joker in the pack for Gary | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
Locke. Hearts have looked more comfortable | :26:48. | :27:11. | |
this half. Five minutes shy of the final | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
quarter. Surely now the change will be made. | :27:23. | :27:38. | |
Brilliant from McGowan. James Collins two goals this season. | :27:39. | :28:02. | |
Ross Caldwell comes on. He scored the winner in the final derby of | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
last season. What a goal it was. The more scrappy game, it might suit | :28:07. | :28:29. | |
Hearts more than Hibs. It eats up the seconds. | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
It adds pressure. Hearts more comfortable as the game goes on. | :28:35. | :30:05. | |
Hibs scored more in the last round of the competition at Easter Road | :30:06. | :30:12. | |
than in the entire season so far at home. Five times against Stranraer. | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
A Liam Craig hat-trick helping them on their way. | :30:19. | :30:48. | |
Jordan McGhee becomes the fifth Hearts player in the referee's book. | :30:49. | :31:01. | |
It is 5-2 to Hibs in that respect. 17-year-old Jordan McGhee is the | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
latest offender. Very similar to Thompson, two minutes ago. | :31:06. | :31:46. | |
An Edinburgh derby under the floodlights. The Hearts hero so far | :31:47. | :32:04. | |
is Ryan Stevenson. They look white relaxed now. -- quite relaxed. Hibs | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
fans are biting their fingernails. 16,797 inside Easter Road tonight. | :32:12. | :32:41. | |
They will be clock watching very soon, if they are not already. | :32:42. | :33:21. | |
The frustration is creeping down onto the turf. | :33:22. | :33:33. | |
That sums it up a bit for Hibs. It was a good build-up. But they lost | :33:34. | :33:55. | |
momentum. They have not really recovered from the kick in the guts | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
they got with the Ryan Stevenson goal. They just don't seem to have | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
the same belief that they had before that goal. They are trying to play, | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
but you have got to hand it to Hearts as well. They have made it | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
difficult for them. The pressure is on as well, and Hibs are not | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
handling that side so far. The blues are ringing out now. That | :34:18. | :34:56. | |
is exactly what they don't want is the. -- what they don't want to see. | :34:57. | :35:15. | |
Hearts corner. Hanlon was forced to give away a | :35:16. | :35:30. | |
corner. Really good play from Stevenson. | :35:31. | :35:44. | |
The goalkeeper seemed a bit indecisive dad, Ben Williams. | :35:45. | :36:00. | |
So if you are Pat Fenlon and Billy Dodds, and you are looking at the | :36:01. | :36:08. | |
clock and it is ticking down, what do you do? I think Zoubir is an | :36:09. | :36:16. | |
absolute certainty to come on. Just something different to mix it up and | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
create something, because they have not been creating. Hibs fans were | :36:20. | :36:29. | |
not happy with the substitutions Pat Fenlon made hay against Aberdeen on | :36:30. | :36:45. | |
Saturday. It is a Hearts ball. And no sooner did we say it, but Zoubir | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
will be on in a moment or two for the home team. | :36:51. | :37:20. | |
As far as goals are concerned, Paul Hatton and has looked the most | :37:21. | :37:35. | |
likely for Hibernian. Here they go. That has got to go down as a poor | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
miss from the Hibernian point of view. That was from Liam Craig. That | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
was the golden moment. They got a little bit of luck they needed. He | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
has got to strike better than that. What a lost opportunity. Another | :37:54. | :38:10. | |
huge moment. It was another good stop from McDonald's. He has had a | :38:11. | :38:21. | |
fine night. I was talking about Paul Hatton and being good for a golfer | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
Hibs this season. But Liam Craig has done OK himself. He has got six so | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
far, and you would have put your mortgage on him banging Hibs level | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
in this game with that chance. MacDonald made the save, but whereas | :38:36. | :38:43. | |
one of the saves in the first half was outstanding, that one was more | :38:44. | :38:53. | |
down to Liam missing it. I think he should have gone for power there. | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
Tom Taiwo is the player who will come off for Hibs, to be replaced by | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
the Frenchman, Abdellah Zoubir, on loan. Callum Paterson is waiting to | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
come back on. It is a handball. You feel there is | :39:10. | :39:35. | |
plenty more in this derby yet. It could still be a long night. Still | :39:36. | :39:43. | |
time for the men in green and white. But it is disappearing all | :39:44. | :39:51. | |
the time as Zoubir waits and waits. The Hibs fans want him on. Pat | :39:52. | :40:00. | |
Fenlon, like a caged lion, down in his technical area. Once again, it | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
is a poor ball, and once again, the supporters are venting their fury. | :40:07. | :40:17. | |
Now, the change will be made. Zoubir replaces Tom Taiwo, a very different | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
kind of player. Can he turn it? That is the question. They just have not | :40:23. | :40:30. | |
created enough. We have seen plenty of drama in the league cup this | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
season already. What more will we see in the capital? | :40:39. | :41:05. | |
It is a Hearts free kick. Eats up more time, too. | :41:06. | :41:14. | |
Yeah, tug on the jersey. They are not going to get away with that | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
tonight. Three yellows for Hibs now, Hearts | :41:20. | :41:38. | |
with five. Remember, if the game finishes after 90 minutes, we will | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
be on air for half an hour on our website with all the post match | :41:44. | :41:44. | |
reaction. Ryan Stevenson again, the man with | :41:45. | :42:15. | |
the dodgy knee. Not that dodgy! Absolutely not. They forced him off | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
early against Kilmarnock on Saturday. It was a 2-0 defeat. | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
Kilmarnock cantered to that victory. But Hearts have been a very | :42:28. | :42:29. | |
different animal tonight. That foul was against Ryan | :42:30. | :42:51. | |
Stevenson. The semifinal draw is made tomorrow | :42:52. | :43:02. | |
afternoon at the national stadium, three o'clock. Inverness Caley | :43:03. | :43:12. | |
Thistle are already there. Six other teams trying to get there. No goals | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
between St Martin and St Johnstone. No goals between Motherwell and ten | :43:19. | :43:29. | |
man Aberdeen. Hearts with one foot in the semifinal as things stand. | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
They won their semifinal here last season, on penalties, of course. | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
When they have won their last four ties, they have won them with kicks | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
from the penalty mark. Hibs are struggling for ideas. | :43:45. | :44:03. | |
Zoubir is fresh. They should see what he can do. | :44:04. | :44:19. | |
Robertson has been on the periphery of things since the opening 25 | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
minutes of the match. I think the Hibs fans want this in | :44:23. | :45:12. | |
the box. It keeps coming back. McDonald gets a bit of luck again. | :45:13. | :45:25. | |
He's been outstanding. The Hibs fans are frustrated, they | :45:26. | :46:17. | |
are putting more pressure on the players. We have seen this so often | :46:18. | :46:23. | |
before. You can understand the frustration from the supporters. | :46:24. | :46:59. | |
He was caught there. McPake is in trouble. He is. Hibs down to ten | :47:00. | :47:09. | |
men. It is going from bad to worse for the Hibees. | :47:10. | :47:18. | |
Hearts were not expected to make any kind of impact. And now they've been | :47:19. | :47:27. | |
reduced in numbers. James McPake with the lunge on a Callum Paterson. | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
Seven minutes to go. The mountain just got bigger for the hosts. | :47:33. | :47:49. | |
It could be that that is Hibs's chances all but gone. The skipper | :47:50. | :48:06. | |
doesn't know where to look. He has had something to say to the Hearts | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
technical staff as well. The Hearts fans beginning to sense this is | :48:12. | :48:13. | |
their night. They think they are there. This | :48:14. | :48:26. | |
league cup quarterfinal tilted a bit further towards the men from the | :48:27. | :48:34. | |
other side of the city. Ben Williams with the armband now. Callum | :48:35. | :48:36. | |
Paterson carrying a knock as well. Gary Locke waits. McHattie goes for | :48:37. | :48:43. | |
gold. Hearts yet to make a change. The | :48:44. | :49:13. | |
young team being put through the ringer. They will come out the other | :49:14. | :49:21. | |
end to sparkling. A semifinal place is only five minutes away and less | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
that ten men of Hebburn Ian can launch a comeback. -- Hibernian. | :49:26. | :49:43. | |
Aberdeen down to ten at Fir Park against Motherwell. | :49:44. | :50:25. | |
Scott Robertson the latest to get in bother with Willie Collum. A yellow | :50:26. | :50:32. | |
card. A cynical challenge. That is nine yellows in total and | :50:33. | :50:41. | |
the McPake read. Hearts free kick. The clock ticks | :50:42. | :51:07. | |
down. 3.5 minutes to go plus injury time. | :51:08. | :51:25. | |
They battered Hearts in the opening exchange, the opening 25 minutes of | :51:26. | :51:37. | |
the game. They are behind. Where there is time, there is hope. | :51:38. | :51:50. | |
They have found it hard in the second half. Liam Craig... | :51:51. | :52:11. | |
A glut of chances, particularly in the first half but the pressure | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
looks like it will be right on Pat Fenlon again. | :52:18. | :52:53. | |
a crucial moment again. It sums it up for the Hibees. | :52:54. | :53:49. | |
He will play the 90 minutes, Ryan Stevenson. Three minutes of stoppage | :53:50. | :54:07. | |
time added on. A minimum of three minutes for Hibs to rescue this | :54:08. | :54:13. | |
situation. They are down to ten men. They are a goal down as well in the | :54:14. | :54:16. | |
league cup quarterfinal. The goal knocked the stuffing out of | :54:17. | :54:33. | |
them. Any wind of them when Stevenson thumped the ball into the | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
net. They have not been the same team since then. Hibs have not been | :54:37. | :54:43. | |
able... You have to credit Hearts, young | :54:44. | :55:42. | |
inexperienced lads. Even the experienced ones are young and they | :55:43. | :55:44. | |
are standing firm. He has taken Hibs to a couple of | :55:45. | :56:10. | |
Scottish cup finals. They went out to Queen of the season -- Queen of | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
the South last season. It hasn't been a kind competition for him. I | :56:16. | :56:21. | |
am surprised Gary Locke hasn't made any changes. He has kept them all on | :56:22. | :56:27. | |
the park. I think he will make a change this time. This will eat up | :56:28. | :56:35. | |
more time. Callum Tapping getting ready to come on. | :56:36. | :56:44. | |
The Hearts fans think they are there already. Scott Robinson is replaced | :56:45. | :56:53. | |
by Callum Tapping. They cannot get past the maroon | :56:54. | :57:30. | |
rearguard. They cannot break it down. The three minutes of stoppage | :57:31. | :57:37. | |
time are almost up. McDonald holds on. He will not be letting go of | :57:38. | :57:47. | |
that. This could be time up. Caldwell just stands and hopes the | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
ball is coming to him! Still we play on. | :57:55. | :58:09. | |
The Hibs fans are heading for the exit is already. That, surely, | :58:10. | :58:14. | |
surely, that is it. WHISTLE BLOWS | :58:15. | :58:35. | |
Listen to the raw from the Hearts supporters who came here more in | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
hope than expectation. They hope to knock out their big rivals. They | :58:41. | :58:48. | |
have done just that. They weathered a storm in the opening 25 minutes of | :58:49. | :58:54. | |
this game. They were taking a pounding in the first half. Jamie | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
MacDonald with a couple of wonderful saves, one in particular which he | :58:59. | :59:04. | |
saved off the crossbar. He is the big hero, he is the one he would | :59:05. | :59:11. | |
have the headlines. Ryan Stevenson. It was a sight to behold. The | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
classic sucker punch having been up against it. The team in | :59:17. | :59:18. | |
administration have got another round to go through, more money for | :59:19. | :59:24. | |
them, they have much bigger battles of the park but on the park they | :59:25. | :59:33. | |
have had 11 Lions tonight. Hibs, despite the credit they would get | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
for the opening 25 minutes, could not penetrate. Ryan Stevenson is the | :59:39. | :59:46. | |
hero for Hearts. Gary Locke will thank all of his players. He did not | :59:47. | :59:50. | |
make a change until the final minute. Hearts go through to the | :59:51. | :59:57. | |
league cup semifinal draw. Hibernian zero, Heart of Midlothian, one. | :59:58. | :00:05. | |
15 points adrift at the bottom of the SPL. Only three players were | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
over the age of 20. The odds were so heavily stacked against Gary Locke | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
and his team. And they have pulled off an amazing victory having been | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
so much under the cosh in the first half an hour at Easter Road, Hibs | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
could not take their chances. Jamie MacDonald had something to do with | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
that. Ryan Stevenson struck in spectacular style, even that early | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
in the game, no way back for Hibs. Good players give you a reaction. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Unfortunately for Hibs and the Easter Road faithful, it was a long | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
time after the goal and they never looked as if there were going to get | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
back into the game as soon as Hearts scored. That is a sad indictment of | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
the Hibs team. That is a big plus for young team, Ian, and it is a | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
major -4 Pat Fenlon and his team. Yes, credit to Hearts. The pressure | :01:16. | :01:27. | |
was on Hibs. Let's hear from Ryan Stevenson. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Ryan, congratulations. Some are pure emotions? It is amazing. After the | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
recent run of form I have had, some poor results, we knew it was a big | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
game for us all. It was a good distraction for us and it is a | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
massive result. 25 minutes into the game, it was backs to the wall for | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Hearts, and then you produced an unstoppable shot. Whether that come | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
from? I don't really know! Probably because I was tired at the time, I | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
just thought I would hit it in the top corner. We defended well. Jamie | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
MacDonald made some great saves. What does it say about the heart of | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
this young side to put in a performance like that? Hibs only had | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
one shot after your goal. How did that come about? We are young. But | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
we are getting experience. We have played well for most of the season. | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
It was a surprise to see his name on the team sheet, pre-kick-off. But he | :02:48. | :03:02. | |
did this. Fantastic goal. He said he was feeling a bit tired, but if he | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
does that when he is feeling tired, we will take that and see what he is | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
like when he has got a bit of energy! That was a fantastic finish. | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
He does not even have to look at the target, he just lets it roll across | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
his shoulder. Right in the back of the net. That was 34 minutes in. The | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
big surprise if you are a Hibs fan is that there was so little from | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
them between then and time up. There was not much. At half-time, did team | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
talk must have been easy for Hibs. Keep doing what you are doing. There | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
first half-hour was exceptional. They had two big guys at the front. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Let's round things up before we go in terms of all the league cup | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
quarterfinals. Inverness were of course our winners last night. | :04:04. | :04:22. | |
If you are watching us on the BBC website, stay where you are, because | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
there is more chaps to come. If you are watching on telly, go to the | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
website. If not, it is bye for now. Hearts are through to the | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
quarterfinals, or the semifinals, even! | :04:39. | :04:44. |
