Ayr United manager Scott Brown tells BBC Scotland: "Take nothing away from Hibs, they're a top quality team with some great players.
"We've given Hibs a really good game at home and I don't think there was much in the game.
"I'm really proud of the lads today, the second half performance was much better.
"We've played against the team that will probably finish third in the league and we competed for 90 minutes against that.
"There wasn't a bad tackle in the game, but there were lots of bookings because of silly decisions from the referee and fourth official.
"It's a better game without a fourth official and without them making themselves the centre of attention like they usually do."

Hibs head coach David Gray tells BBC Sportscene: "It's job done in that front in terms of getting into the next round.
"Both set of supporters were fantastic which added to the occasion.
"The character from the boys today, the mentality was great.
"The cameras were here today and everyone outside of Hibernian Football Club was thinking there was potential for an upset.
"I'm just glad we did our job and got into the next round."

That's now 11 games unbeaten for Hibs in all competitions.
What a turnaround it's been for David Gray after a rocky (pardon the pun) start to the season.
We can hear from the Hibs boss now.

Hibs wing-back Nicky Cadden tells BBC Scotland: "We knew the cameras were here for a reason, they wanted an upset.
"We weren't going to win it in the first half so we knew we had to hang in.
"Ayr are a good side and we knew it was going to be tough.
"A home tie would be nice for the fans in the quarters, we're on a good run just now so we can take on anyone at the minute."

My man of the match is Rocky Bushiri.
He's done a great job up against George Oakley and produced that moment at the other end that has got these away fans singing.
Ayr United 0-1 Hibernian
Wow.
Former Hibs man Jamie Murphy has a pop from range with just seconds left, and Jordan Smith almost lets it through his grasp and into the back of the net.
The visiting keeper just about keeps it out though and that's the final act at Somerset Park.
Hibs are into the quarter-finals, thanks to Rocky Bushiri's late goal.

Ayr won't lie down in the closing stages.
Marco Rus forces Jordan Smith into a fine save with a curling shot that looked destined for the bottom corner.

Four minutes added on.
Curtis Main and Nick McAllister both came on for Ayr just before the goal.

A real blow for Ayr United who have worked so hard. Bushiri has got such physicality in there, he's so difficult to mark.
A big task for Ayr now to come back with such little time left.
Rocky Bushiri
Surely the winner!
It's a long throw from the left, Kieron Bowie nods it on and Rocky Bushiri - who has been immense at the back tonight - gets a vital touch to find the bottom corner.
It's been a slog for Hibs, but they are set for a place in the last eight of the Scottish Cup.

Hibernian are pushing here. Scott Brown’s side are getting pushed back repeatedly but they’re holding firm.
Not enough shots direct on target though.

Martin Boyle has got plenty of time to open up his body and side foot it.
But he gets it all wrong.
Ayr United 0-0 Hibernian
That was the chance, you feel.
Martin Boyle gets in behind the Ayr defence, goes through one-on-one with Harry Stone but fires his shot wide of the far post.
You expect a man of his ability to score.

McMann is very clever in the way he defends him there but I'm thinking if you have VAR and you go to the monitor then you probably give it.

Kieron Bowie heads high and wide under heavy pressure from Scott McMann.
VAR might have had a look at that...
Bushiri makes late breakthrough for Hibs
Rocky Bushiri's late glancing header secured Hibernian's spot in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals as they overcame stubborn Ayr United at Somerset Park to stretch their unbeaten run to 11 games.
Ayr looked set to take the Premiership visitors to extra time, but Bushiri dived to meet a flick-on from substitute Kieron Bowie and send Hibs through.
Both sides came into the tie in stellar form, with Ayr leading the Championship and undefeated in eight, and it was the hosts who came closest early on.
The in-form George Oakley raced through but failed to poke his shot past Jordan Smith before Martin Boyle spurned a chance for the visitors, with his effort claimed by Harry Stone.
Oakley was almost in one-on-one again but was prevented by a well-timed Jack Iredale challenge.
Hibs started to gain some control and Josh Campbell had a well-struck shot saved before Iredale's deep cross was headed into the ground and on to the roof of the net by Boyle.
Mykoka Kuharevich and Campbell had second-half shots blocked, while a smart flick led to Connor McLennan volleying on target for Ayr as both sides probed for a goal.
As extra time beckoned, Hibs ramped up the pressure and Boyle slid a glaring chance past the far post before Burishiri made the 87th-minute breakthrough.
Hibs still had work to do, with goalkeeper Smith pulling off a sensational double save from Jamie Murphy to preserve his side's slender advantage.
