“Capable” Hibernian secure first Parkhead victory since 2010

Hibs boss David Gray believes it is “all to play for” after his side delivered a priceless victory against Celtic on Sunday afternoon. “It’s been a long time coming. That’s twice we’ve been here [this season] and not lost. “It shows we are capable if we go toe-to-toe, but it takes a level of performance that requires every man to be at their very best. “It’s all about us. How can we keep improving? It’s a massive three points today on the back of a positive result last week against St Mirren. “That’s us five points behind Motherwell, still to play them twice and all the teams around about us. “It’s all to play for between now and the end of the season, and we’ll be aiming to push up the table as hard as we can. All you can do is take one game at a time.” Kai Andrews late winner moved Hibs six clear of Falkirk, and with winnable encounters with Dundee and Livingston on the horizon, there is reason to be optimistic on the green side of Edinburgh ahead of the run-in.

Hibernian 2-0 St Mirren: Clinical Hibs See Off Struggling St Mirren

Hibs bounce back from Derby defeat as they see off St Mirren 2-0 in the capital with goals by Edling and Suto ensured the Hibees left with all three points. The opening 10, both sides had small sights of goal but no real chance for either side. On 12 minutes, Cadden whipped a ball into the centre of the box and on loan Tottenham man, Dane Scarlett got his head onto it but was right at George which was a simple catch in the end. An early free kick a few minutes on from Cadden fell to new signing Elding but the young forward wasn’t aware until late on and failed to connect with the ball as George was there to collect. Chaiwa had a chance from the edge of the box which looked to be a simple save by George spilled the ball with the rebound not testing the St Mirren keeper as the ball was high and wide. Another Hibs chance once again, Scarlett striding towards the box, unleashing an effort from distance firing wide. Rocky in the box with a huge chance as he turned and miskicked the ball and any real chance fizzled out as the clash remains goalless. A short corner to Barlasser who whipped in the perfect cross which found Owen Elding who headed the ball which smashed past Shamal George as the Hibees took the lead late first half. Into the second half, Hibs had a massive chance to double the advantage as Nicky Cadden with a ball into the back post where Passlack vollyed the ball off the inside of the post to deny a second for the Edinburgh side. An error at the back by Hibs let substitute Mandron through on goal with his strike being denied brilliantly by Sallinger in goal to deny an equaliser. Great work by Cadden to glide past both Phillips and McMenamin where he put the box across goal then there was the substitute Suto there to tap it in to give Hibs the two goal advantage. Idowu with an ambitious run fron the centre area towards the box which he took on a strike from distanced but well blocked to stop any route back into the game. A better second half by the Paisley side but still unable to find a way back into the game and when Hibs had their chances, they took them well as the full-time whistle goes. Hibernian: Sallinger )6), O’Hora (7), Chaiwa (7), Iredale, McGrath (7), Cadden (7), Barlasser (8), Passlack (7), Bushiri (7), Scarlett (6), Elding (8). Substitutes: Boyle (6), Suto 97), Andrews (7), Campbell 96). St Mirren: George (5), King (6), Devaney (6), McMenenamin (5), Gogic (6), Nlundulu (6), Young (6), Freckleton (6), Fraser (6), John (6), Phillips (5). Substitutes: Mandron (6), Idowu (6), Calvin (6), O’Hara (6), Richardson (6).

Hearts 1-0 Hibernian: The Late, Late Show With Tomas Magnusson

Hearts left it late against city rivals Hibs in a 1-0 victory, extending the Gorgie side’s lead at the league summit to six points at least until tomorrow. Tomas Magnusson’s third goal of the season was all that was needed to secure victory in a cagey affair, as the Hibee’s suffer late derby heartache for the second time at Tynecastle this season following Craig Halkett’s last gasp winner back in October. Derek McInnes’ side have ramped up the pressure on Rangers and Celtic once more, with both sides in action against Motherwell and Livingston tomorrow evening respectively. Hibs gave their opponents a fright inside the first ten minutes with a 2 vs 1 attack. New recruit Felix Passlack done well to find space and create an opening, but his final ball to slip in Martin Boyle lacked the perfection that was desperately needed, giving Hearts time to regroup and defend. In a game that lacked quality throughout, the best chance of the first half for Hearts fell for Islam Chesnokov just minutes before half time. The Kazakhstani attacker, making his first start since signing in January, latched onto a break of the ball inside Raphael Sallinger’s six-yard box following an attempt from Pierre Landry Kabore. He got it all wrong, however, lifting the ball over the bar and keeping the scoreline level heading into the interval. Hibs managed to control periods of the game better in the second period without creating anything meaningful until Nicky Cadden stepped up with just over twenty minutes of play. Cadden, who had produced a couple dangerous balls just prior, easily beat Chesnokov inside the box at the left flank, and put a teasing ball across the deck for Martin Boyle. The Australian flung a foot at it amid pressure from the Hearts’ defence, and it sailed over from close-range. With tension filling the air at a jam-packed Tynecastle Park, a hero stepped up with two minutes to play. Harry Milne drilled a ball into the box and Icelandic midfielder Tomas Magnusson ran onto and putted the ball with precision into the bottom left corner to take the roof of off the place. The result puts Hearts six points ahead of nearest challengers Rangers and nine ahead of third placed Celtic, with the former facing Jens Berthel Askou’s Motherwell at Fir Park tomorrow and the latter at home to bottom of the pile Livingston. The Hibees remain fifth with one win from their last six in all competitions, as they hope Danny Rohl’s side can do them a favour and keep Motherwell from creating daylight between them in fourth. HEARTS: Schwolow 6, Milne 7, Findlay 5, Kent 5, McEntee 5, Baningime 6 (Magnusson 76′ 5), Leonard 5, Kyziridis 5 (Mato 87′ 1), Braga 7 (McCart 90+4), Chesnokov 4 (Altuena 76′ 2), Kabore 4 (Ageu 87′ 1) HIBERNIAN: Sallinger 5, Iredale 5, Bushiri 5, Garananga 4 (O’Hora 78′ 1), Cadden 7, Barlaser 6, Andrews 4, Passlack 5, Chaiwa 3 (McGrath 60′ 2), Scarlett 4 (Suto 60′ 3), Boyle 4 (Youan 73′ 1)

Big departures met with big signings: Hibs’ January window reviewed

After a quiet start to the mid-season window, Hibernian finished the window with six signings in the closing few days, although, there was some major departures from Easter Road. Hibs’ first signing arrived on January 29th, when they secured the signature of highly rated youngster Owen Elding from Sligo Rovers. Elding went onto have a promising debut on Sunday against Rangers. The Irishman’s signature may be interpreted as a like-for-like replacement for Kieron Bowie. The Scotland international departed for Hellas Verona in Serie A, joining a long list of Scots in Italy. The rumoured fee for Bowie is around €6 million, with add-ons up to €7 million. Although he will undoubtedly be a big loss for David Gray’s men, a tenfold profit after 18 months in Leith can only be seen as outstanding business from Hibs. Tottenham youngster Dane Scarlett was also added to the strike-force on a loan deal until the end of the season. In the midfield, Hibs secured Coventry midfielder Kai Andrews on loan to support an injury ridden midfield. Despite not making any signings for the opening four weeks, Hibs seemed to move quickly once stories did break around potential signings. Except for Felix Passlack. The German was eventually signed on deadline day after a lengthy saga where VfL Bochum were reluctant to let the ex-Dortmund right-back leave without finding a suitable replacement. It seems Hibs transfer executives were working overtime on deadline day, Croatian forward Ante Suto arrived on a two-and-a-half year deal with Copenhagen defender Munashe Garananga signing a loan deal until the end of the season. Hibs were not devoid of departures throughout the window. Zach Mitchell had his loan cut short with Nathan Jones deeming the defender wasn’t receiving enough game time, which may have forced Hibs’ hand to recruit Garananga. Midfielders Dylan Levitt and Junior Hoilett also departed in pursuit of more game time. Levitt has moved to League 1 side Leyton Orient whilst Junior Hoilett has signed for Swindon amid his Canada side hosting the World Cup this summer. Perhaps Hibs’ the biggest story of deadline day was record signing Thibault Klidje joining Danish side Randers on loan for the remainder of the season. Klidje has failed to hit the ground running since arriving in Edinburgh, thus David Gray has opted to loan out the £1 million man with Martin Boyle, Elie Youan, Dane Scarlett, Owen Elding and Ante Suto all now competing for two spots in the forward line. All-in-all, Hibs slow start to the window did raise a few eyebrows, but the sprint over the finish line does offer some redemption. On paper, the signings do seem to be strong ones, adding two players with Champions League experience to the ranks. Lesser used players were moved on, freeing up money in a bloated squad, especially amongst the midfielders. Of course, loaning out your record signing after a poor opening six months does raise eyebrows, but David Gray and Malky MacKay have maintained that he will return to the club next season, where Hibs fans will be hoping that game time in Denmark will translate to goals upon his return. As the end of the season approaches, Hibs will hope these midseason reinforcements will be able to improve Hibs as they aim to build on an inconsistent start to the season, even with European football still an achievable target in Leith. Ins: Owen Elding, Kai Andrews (loan), Dane Scarlett (loan), Felix Passlack, Ante Suto, Munashe Garananga (loan) Outs: Zach Mitchell (re-called), Kieron Bowie, Dylan Levitt, Junior Hoilett, Thibault Klidje (loan)

Hibernian 0-0 Rangers: Both Teams Fire Blanks in the Capital

A blow to Rangers title hopes as they lose ground on Hearts at the top of the table as they played out an entertaining scoreless draw with Hibernian. Hibs came into this one off the back of a few poor results against Falkirk and in the cup against Dunfermline, with only two wins in their last five. Rangers are on a run of seven wins domestically and only lost their first game in nine away to Porto midweek as they were looking to continue their title push. There were two changes for Hibs as they looked to bounce back from a 4-1 loss at Falkirk, now departed Kieron Bowie and Jamie McGrath dropped out for Elle Youan and Joe Newell. As for Rangers they made five changes from the midweek loss to Porto, James Tavernier, Max Aarons, Nasser Djiga, Mohammed Diomande and now away Findlay Curtis are out for Dujon Sterling, Andreas Skov Olson, Tochi Chukwuani, Thelo Aasgaard and John Souttar. First action came for Rangers, a good ball from Djedi Gassama found Aasgaard in space on the edge of the area, but his shot was blocked for a Rangers corner. That corner was a good one onto the head of John Souttar, but his header flew over the bar and Hibs received a goal kick. As we reached the mid-way point of the first half, Rangers were consolidating possession but lacked directness in their play, Hibs were defending well but struggled to really test the Rangers defence. First real chance for Hibs came when Youan got a good cross in for Hibs skipper Joe Newell who found himself in space near the penalty spot, but his header went wide. Youan again looking lively as he beat Souttar to a high ball he managed to get into the area but his shot was beaten away by Rangers keeper Jack Butland Butland again was called into action after a good run by sub Kai Andrews found Youan and the Rangers keeper tipped the ball over the bar. A great ball in by Gassama was played back across goal by Skov Olsen and it had Jack Iredale panicking but the Hibs defender was able to clear before any Rangers players arrived. A good free kick in by Jordan Obita was cleared by the Rangers defence for a corner as Martin Boyle was lurking to try and get his toe on it. A ball through to Boyle is missed by Emmanuel Fernandez and he was through one on one with Butland but the keeper was able to save. Another Hibs chance followed as some good play finally released Obita on the left and his cross got to Youan at the back post and his header was wide when it really should have been a lot better. First shot of the second half came from Rangers as Fernandez wins the ball on the edge of the area and his deflected shot goes way over for a corner. Another headed chance for Hibs and Youan went over the bar once again after good running from Boyle kept the move alive. Another shot from outside the box from Fernandez is deflected and this time Raphael Salinger has to knock it behind for another corner. Good running from new signing Dane Scarlett won Hibs a first corner of the second half as they tried to put Rangers under some pressure again. Mikey Moore had the ball in the net but the flag went up, after a VAR review the decision was upheld and it stayed 0-0. Hibs went straight up the park after that and managed to get a shot away with Kanayo Megwa but Jack Butland was able to catch. As we went into the last 10 the game had opened up and both teams were attacking with intensity knowing one goal would likely win it. After a counter attack the ball fell to another new HIbs player Owen Elding but his shot was easy for Butland. Nedim Bajrami got the ball a bit of space and shaped to shoot, but his shot went way over the goal. Hibs win a corner in the last minute as Scarlett has a close range chance blocked by Souttar but the corner comes to nothing. A spectacular last minute overhead kick attempt by Bojan Miovski was saved by Raphael Salinger as the final whistle was blown. Next up for Hibs is another home game, this time they face Dundee United on Wednesday night where they’ll look to finally get back to winning ways. As for Rangers they’re also at home on Wednesday night against Kilmarnock who won their first game since the 4th October this weekend. Hibernian Raphael Salinger, Grant Hanley (Nicky Cadden 70), Elle Youan (Dane Scarlett 70), Martin Boyle (Owen Elding 66), Joe Newell (Rudi Molotnikov 66), Miguel Chaiwa (Kai Andrews 10), Jack Iredale, Jordan Obita, Dan Barlaser, Kanayo Megwa, Rocky Bushiri. Rangers Jack Butland, John Souttar, Andreas Skov Olsen (Nedim Bajrami 70), Youssef Chermiti, Thelo Aasgaard (Bojan Miovski 86), Dujon Sterling (Max Aarons 86), Djedi Gassama (Mikey Moore 56), Jayden Meghoma, Emmanuel Fernandez, Tochi Chuckwuani (Mohammed Diomande 70), Nicolas Raskin.

Kieron Bowie departs Hibernian in Club-Record transfer to Hellas Verona

Hibernian have officially confirmed the departure of striker Kieron Bowie for a club record fee, as the 23-year-old has penned a four-and-a-half-year deal with Italian side Hellas Verona. The fee is understood to be in the region of £6 million and has the potential to rise to £7 million with future add-ons. Bowie’s former club Fulham are also set to profit from this deal due to a significant 20% sell-on clause. It was reported on Tuesday that the Easter Road outfit had rejected an initial opening bid from Hellas Verona for the Scotland striker, but the Serie A strugglers had since returned with a second offer that was ultimately too good to turn down. Bowie joined Hibs in August 2024 from Fulham for just £600,000 and made a total of 52 appearances for David Gray’s men, registering 15 goals and five assists during his time at the club, whilst also earning his first ever senior Scotland call-up at the end of the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership campaign, having been influential towards Hibs’ 17-game unbeaten run and third-place finish. The Italian top tier has proven to be a popular destination for Scottish talent to make the move to, as Bowie is now currently the seventh Scot to play in Serie A, joining the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Lewis Ferguson, Lennon Miller, Che Adams and Josh Doig. Hellas Verona sit joint bottom of the Serie A table and will be hoping Bowie can help contribute towards their hopes of a survival bid, whereas Bowie himself will be eager to make an impact in Italy with a place in Scotland’s World Cup squad next summer on the line. Before flying out to Italy early this morning to complete a medical, Bowie spoke to Sky Sports Scotland, saying that he felt the move was good for all parties involved and discussed the opportunity of playing in Italy. Bowie said: “I’ve had 18 months at Hibs now and I’ve done extremely well there. They’ve done well for me, so I think for all parties it’s good. “Italy appeals, there’s obviously a lot of people from Scotland who have gone there and have done well. “It opens a lot of opportunities for myself and my family, which is the main thing. “It’s a top league and obviously with the World Cup coming up, that’s the idea.”

Hibernian announce first signing of the window.

Hibernian have announced the signing of Owen Elding from Sligo Rovers. Elding joins on an four-and-a-half year deal with Hibs paying an undisclosed fee. David Gray’s side have longed for a striker to fill a tall, physical profile to compete with the highly sought after Kieron Bowie. Hibs missed out on Lyndon Dykes on deadline day during the last window, with the Scotland striker since moving to Charlton. Elding is now expected to fill this profile standing at 6ft 2. He has also played part of his career on the right wing, cutting onto his left foot, extremely similar to Kieron Bowie when he first moved to Edinburgh. Elding is an extremely highly rated youngster back in Ireland, with the 19-year-old also being linked with European clubs such as Club Brugge, Sturm Graz and even Juventus. In his first interview with the club, Elding said: “I’m buzzing to be here. Got here this morning, did the medical, met a few of the lads, and I’m just buzzing to get going now. “It’s been hectic. I came in this morning, met everyone and all the staff. Done the medical; there was a lot of testing to be done. “I came over and visited, and I stayed over last week and watched a few games. It was just the ambition of the Club [that made me want to come here] from when I came round and looked at all the facilities. “Everything’s top drawer and I’m just buzzing to get going.” In the 2025 League of Ireland season, Elding found the net on 12 occasions whilst also bagging the Young Player of the Year award. When talking about what he wants to achieve at Hibs, Elding said: “I’m hoping to come in and make a big impact straight away; come in, score a few goals and help the team. “But, in the long run, hopefully we can get the team into Europe. This club should be competing in European competitions and winning trophies. “I’m a good, honest worker “I know where the net is. I’ll give everything for the team and hopefully we can win some football matches.” This marks Hibs’ first signing of a quiet window, which has frustrated many fans. The club are still linked with German fullback Felix Passlack, but his move is thought to be held up by VfL Bochum anticipating a replacement before allowing the move to go through. Rumours have also started circulating that David Gray’s side will add ex-Motherwell midfielder Kai Andrews to the ranks, whilst a club-record sale of Kieron Bowie to Hellas Verona seems to be a formality at this stage. Owen Edling could make his Hibs debut as early as Sunday at home to Rangers.

Falkirk 4-1 Hibernian: Falkirk dismantle Hibs with ease as Barney Stewart nets hat-trick

Falkirk ran out convincing 4-1 winners over Hibernian at the Falkirk stadium on Saturday afternoon courtesy of a hat-trick from Barney Stewart and an own goal from Grant Hanley. John McGlynn’s side are now only two points behind fifth-place Hibs as their impressive return to the Scottish Premiership continues. Despite the visitors doing well to control the first 15 minutes, it was Falkirk who took the lead in the 17th minute as Calvin Miller raced to the byline before playing an inviting low ball across the face off the Hibs goalmouth that was met by Falkirk striker Barney Stewart who was there to side-foot the ball into the net. Following a lengthy VAR check for a potential offside, Barney’s opening goal was awarded. Hibs’ best chance of the game so far came after the half hour mark when Scotland International Grant Hanley came close to equalising from a free kick, Falkirk Goalkeeper Scott Bain done exceptionally well to tip it over the bar and ensure his side remanded ahead. Falkirk were unfortunate not to have doubled their lead as they had two opportunities within a few minutes; Kyrell Wilson struck from inside the area as his shot sailed inches wide of the Hibs goal. Raphael Sallinger then got down well to push away Calvin Miller’s fierce effort from close range. Barney Stewart netted his second of the afternoon and gave Falkirk a comfortable two goal cushion on the 43rd minute. The build-up play was almost identical to the first goal with Calvin Miller skipping past the Hibs defence with ease before delivering a low cross for Barney Stewart who was once again on hand to finish beyond Sallinger in the Hibs net. The Bairns headed into the interval 2-0 up after an impressive first half showing. Hibs made an attacking change at the break with Elie Youan coming on in place of Centre-back Jack Iredale as David Gray’s side changed shape to a 4-3-3. On the hour mark, Hibs found a way back into the game as Rocky Bushiri rose highest to head the ball home from Jordan Obita’s corner kick delivery to give his side a lifeline. With twenty minutes remaining, Falkirk were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous area as Calvin Miller stepped up to take it 20 yards from goal, Raphael Sallinger was on hand to get a hand to it and tip it over the crossbar for a corner which Falkirk failed to threaten from. Hibs substitute Rudi Molotnikov was involved in play instantly as the Youngster picked the ball up in a good position high up the park before he cut inside forcing Scott Bain to save well. Both sides had struggled to create any real quality going forward for large spells throughout the second half resulting in a quieter affair. Despite that, Falkirk all but secured the three points in the 83rd minute when Barney Stewart netted his first ever hat-trick for the club as any hope of a comeback from the visitors now looked near impossible. The Bairns made certain of victory as the game approached additional time, Louie Marsh fired the ball across goal as the ball deflected off Grant Hanley’s right foot as he was unable to prevent the own goal to cap off what had been a disastrous afternoon for the Hibees.

Is there cause for concern at Hibs?

The January transfer window is never an easy one, but at the time of writing, Hibernian are the only side in the Scottish Premiership yet to make a signing this window, even with key positions such as right- wing back and striker noticeably needing improved. David Gray may also need to strengthen at centre back with on-loan Zach Mitchell being recalled by Charlton as Nathan Jones deemed he wasn’t receiving enough game time for his development. This leaves Hibs with only four recognised centre backs to fill their favoured back three. Hibs fans have largely been devoid of transfer rumours in this window too. They’ve been linked to Sheffield Wednesday striker Bailey Cadamarteri, but the talks surrounding the Jamaican international have largely gone quiet. German fullback Felix Passlack has also been linked with a move to the capital. Many reports suggest that Passlack will become a Hibs player this window, although the deal is yet to materialise. In a pre-match press conference, Gray was asked about Hibs transfer activity- or lack of. He said: “We’ve still got ten days or so, so I expect there to be movement. I expect there are still things to happen. “In terms of our recruitment strategy and what we want to do, we’re working hard to try to do things, and if it can improve the group and it can be done, we certainly would like to do that. “In an ideal world, you want that done on day one. Every manager and coach around the country, all over the world, would say the same thing – the earlier you can get players in, the better. “It doesn’t always work like that, especially in the January window as well. Sometimes you need to be a little bit reactive. It is a case of when you get to the end of the window, making sure your squad is stronger than when you started. That is the key.” Hibernian will now look towards a hectic end to the window before the February 2nd deadline. Fans will be hoping for more transfer talk than just Cadamarteri and Passlack, who have been the only credible rumours thus far this window.

Dunfermline 1-0 Hibernian: Dunfermline defeat Premiership side Hibernian to cause huge cup upset

Dunfermline pulled off a dramatic cup upset at East End Park in the Scottish Cup fourth round as they netted late to defeat Premiership side Hibernian. An own goal from Hibs Midfielder Miguel Chaiwa in the 92nd minute sparked wild celebrations amongst the Dunfermline supporters as Neil Lennon’s side booked their place in the last sixteen of the Scottish Cup. After a cagey start to proceedings from both teams it was the visitors Hibs who carved out the first opportunity of the game in the 10th minute, a good passage of play from Kanayo Megwa and Kieron Bowie, as the Hibs number nine did well to earn his side a corner, Rocky Bushiri was unable to get any real connection onto his header from Jordan Obita’s delivery with Dunfermline keeper Deniz Mehmet collecting with ease. A free-kick from Hibs midfielder Jamie McGrath had initially looked to have been over-hit, but Deniz Mehmet in the Pars goal was on hand to get a hand to it and put it out for a Hibs corner, which was quickly cleared from danger. Dunfermline created a few half chances and had several corners for the Hibs backline to deal with but none of which were any concern to Raphael Sallinger in the Hibs net. As the match entered the half hour mark, play was stopped as Josh Mulligan required treatment from the Hibs physios after picking up an ankle injury, the 23-year-old’s afternoon ended as he was replaced by Miguel Chaiwa. The best chance of the half came for Hibs moments before the 40th minute mark when Kieron Bowie latched onto a ball that played him through one-on-one with Deniz Mehmet, who done well to prevent Bowie’s effort from going in with his feet. Both sides headed into the interval with the game level at 0-0. Dunfermline could not have made a better start to the second period as they threatened early on. Joe Newell was caught in possession which allowed Matty Tod to let fly from distance, his strike was pushed away well by Raphael Sallinger. The ball was immediately laid back off to Tod, but he couldn’t force it goalwards. Junior Hoilett then tested the fingertips of Deniz Mehmet whose effort was tipped over the bar. Hibs felt as though they should have been awarded a spot kick in the 55th minute when Thibault Klidje’s cross hitting the arm of Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, however refreee Steven Mclean was having none of it. Dunfermline’s latest January signing Callumn Morrison was given his debut and was involved shortly after as he cut inside before managing to get a shot away, his attempt was tame with Sallinger comfortably gathering. David Gray introduced Nicky Cadden and Dan Barlaser in place of Joe Newell and Junior Hoilett as the Hibs boss made a double change after an hour played. Klidje wasted a huge opportunity to put Hibs ahead when Jordan Obita whipped in a well-timed cross, but the Hibs forward could only head the ball right at Deniz Mehmet. Three additional minutes were added on at the end of the second half. Kieran Ngwenya caught the ball on the half volley in the Hibs box with Rapheal Sallinger doing exceptionally well to tip it over the bar for a corner as the Pars ramped up the pressure in search of a late winner. And Neil Lennon’s men done just that in the 92nd Minute. Kieran Ngwenya rose highest from the resulting corner causing the ball to hit off Miquel Chaiwa on its way to goal, sending Dunfermline into the next round of the cup as the 5,000 travelling Hibs supporters left empty-handed.
