Hibernian, for once, avoid late heartbreak to set up League Cup final with Rangers, writes Tom English.
Hibs defeated rivals Hearts 2-1 at Hampden Park to book a place against Rangers in the Scottish League Cup final. Despite going behind after four minutes to a Claudio Braga header, Hibs fought back with first-half goals from Martin Boyle and Jamie McGrath to secure their first-ever victory over Hearts at Hampden.
Tom English argues that the result liberates Hibs from their recent history of conceding late, agonizing defeats against Hearts and other opponents. While acknowledging Hibs' ongoing struggles at the bottom of the Premiership under manager Marink Reedijk, the writer suggests this hard-fought derby triumph could mark a significant turning point in their season.
