00:00Hello, this is Alan Patullo at Somerset Park, which you can see perhaps just behind me.
00:07Wonderful old ground, had a wonderful atmosphere tonight.
00:12Packed terraces, packed stand and what a cup tie we had.
00:18Hibs edged through 1-0 against Air United with a late goal from the suddenly prolific Rocky Bashiri.
00:26He threw himself at a long throw in the final moments and managed to nod the ball over the line in front of the delirious Hibs fans
00:38who celebrated with him afterwards and Hibs managed to hold on the last few minutes.
00:49Air managed to produce a couple of near chances to try and take the game into extra time but they failed in that mission.
01:01They have bigger cup finals, Scott Brown suggested, in terms of league matches starting against Falkirk next weekend.
01:12Great to see this Feyenoord club back in the Premiership after a gap of nearly 50 years.
01:22I think they showed their mettle here. Scott Brown has put together a very attractive team actually.
01:31They pushed Hibs all the way but Hibs showed their newfound resolve to ward off threat of a shock.
01:41Many had predicted beforehand that they might succumb to a shock here and perhaps that's why the TV cameras chose to be here
01:48to schedule this game for the Friday night under the lights.
01:53David Gray I think has to be given the credit.
01:57Oh, under the lights, they've just gone out. That means I'll probably have to head off.
