Man by Man
Made a couple of solid early stops to boost confidence in the difficult conditions for keepers and a had no chance with either of the Hearts H goals.
PAUL McGINN
Did well to deny space to his direct opponent Roberts early on but caught out of position at the back post for Wighton’s goal and gave away penalty.
RYAN PORTEOUS
The T centre-half was solid defensively and liked to step into the midfield to start moves but was occasionally rash in his decision-making.
PAUL HANLON
Only Hibs survivor of the
2012 horror show, he suffered a different kind of heartache. Didn’t shy away from physical battle with Boyce B and was a threat at set-plays.
JOSH DOIG
Derby debutant occupied the left-back berth and had his hands full with Wighton and then Lee running at him but he did well in the main.
MARTIN BOYLE
Had a quiet start to the game as Hearts snuffed out the supply to him but when given the chance to do so his delivery was excellent.
ALEX GOGIC
7 Tough and uncompromising competitor in the middle of the park. He plays with a real edge in his game and was never far away from the action.
JOE NEWELL
6 Always looking to get the ball into the box early with his excellent left foot but drifted in and out of the game without making the impact he’s capable of.
KYLE MAGENNIS
6 Youngster must have thought he had scored the opening goal when denied by Smith’s block but did well in an attacking left midfield role.
CHRISTIAN DOIDGE
7 Big striker was well shackled by the Hearts defence before showing his aerial prowess with a superb header to draw his side level.
KEVIN NISBET
Tried to move the Hearts
6 backline around and must have thought he’d scored opener with a fine header only to be denied by Gordon and missed a crucial penalty in extra time.
On for Magennis within seconds of Hearts’ goal to give Hibs more width on the left and caused some real problems with his pace and direct running , 7.
SEAN MACKIE: Straight replacement for Doig as the clock ticked down to extra time and was on the periphery of things from then on, 4.
STEVIE MALLAN: Replaced Gogic in the final five minutes of extra time and did his best to get involved, 2.
Not used: Gray, Wright, Gullan, Hallberg, McGregor, Barnes.
