How the Hibs players rated in a rollercoaster Scottish Cup triumph over Motherwell
Hibs never do things easy, do they? Jack Ross’ side were, for 80 minutes, much the better team at Easter Road and had themselves in a two-goal lead thanks to a header from Christian Doidge and a close-range finish from Jackson Irvine.
But Motherwell came roaring back in the final ten. Ricki Lamie cut the deficit before Tony Watt tied it up with just over a minute remaining.
In the end the match went to extra-time and penalties where, finally, Hibs were able to prevail once and for all. They’ll be in the draw for the semi-finals.

2. RCB - Chris Cadden - 6
Helped contribute to the attack in the first half by getting forward to create overloads down the right. Was the weakest of the defence, though, which is perhaps understandable in an unfamiliar role. Photo: Paul Devlin - SNS Group
3. CB - Ryan Porteous - 7
As he has been throughout most of this season, Porteous was a rock at the heart of the Hibs back three. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
4. LCB - Josh Doig - 6
Took one for the team as the victim of Bevis Mugabi's first-minute lunge which saw the hosts reduced to ten men, but wasn't able to play for much longer as a result. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
