Following their 1-0 win over League Two side Forfar Athletic in the Scottish Cup, Hibs have set up a fifth round meet with Inverness Caley Thistle. Inverness sit seventh in the Scottish Championship and beat Broomhill 4-0 to fix up their match with Nick Montgomery's squad.
The fifth round match, which takes place on 10 February, will be the fourth Cup match the two sides have played and the 2024 date will also mark 20 years since the two sides first came head-to-head. On Saturday 11 September 2004, Inverness CT hosted the Hibees at Aberdeen's Pittodrie Stadium with the visiting side winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Derek Riordan.
Hibs and Inverness CT have gone on to play each other 33 times, coming up against each other in the Premiership and Championship as well as the aforementioned Cup fixtures. As Montgomery prepares for the next round of the competition, Edinburgh News takes a look back at where that 2004 squad - which includes the likes of Scott Brown and Gary Caldwell - are now...
