'The Hoff was on fire!' How the Hibs players rated in Scottish Cup victory over Motherwell

Ratings out of ten for every Hibs player involved in Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie with Motherwell at Fir Park.

Hibs are going back to Hampden after Elias Melkersen’s double gave Shaun Maloney’s side a 2-1 victory in Lanarkshire.

Motherwell played almost the entire game with ten men after Bevis Mugabi was sent off in the first minute for a lunge on Josh Doig.

The hosts refused to crumble, though, even after going 2-0 down as Joe Efford pulled one back and they put some pressure on Hibs late in the game.

The visitors were able to hold on to victory and make it into the final four of the competition.
