A little more from Rangers head coach Russell Martin.

"I've absolutely enjoyed it [this week]," he insisted. "I said to them at the very start, in one of the first few days, that we will be defined by how we respond to difficult moments.

"We have a brilliant chance to respond greatly today and be in a semi-final.

"I don't know that you can do any more than winning football games. It starts by winning football games. We have to produce [a good performance] to win a football match.

"Professionally? No, I don't think [it has been my hardest week] because of the players and the staff, they've been amazing. You have to go through a lot of difficult times as a player when you play as long as you do.

"It's been a difficult week for other reasons, family reasons. That puts all of the football into perspective and has probably helped maintain perspective."

Asked if he has spoken to chairman Andrew Cavenagh this week, he replies: "Lots."

Asked if the nature of those conversations has changed, he replies: "Not one bit. I feel nothing but support."

Rangers' head coach Russell Martin tells BBC Scotland: "Obviously, I knew [the protest] was coming, but I haven't seen it or heard it. The guys have really closed ranks this week in training, they've been amazing.

"The staff, the players, I just want them to put that on the pitch because it's the only thing we can impact.

"[We] make it really clear what's going to help us on the training pitch. We've agreed on it all this week, about what's going to be really important today. Now they just have to deliver that.

"Hopefully you'll see that in the performance. We want to dictate as much of this game as we possibly can, as high up the pitch as possible."

Hibs make two changes to their back three after conceding three in a dramatic draw with Dundee United last time.

In come Grant Hanley and Jordan Obita, out go Warren O'Hora and Jack Iredale.

In midfield Miguel Chaiwa returns and Josh Mulligan shifts out to the right as Chris Cadden makes way.

Raphael Sallinger gets the nod in goals after playing in the previous round at Livingston, so Jordan Smith gets a rest.

The headline for Rangers is the return of Nicolas Raskin after being left out for two games amid transfer speculation and rumours of a rift with manager Russell Martin.

Derek Cornelius starts at the back, in place of Nasser Djiga, while Connor Barron drops to the bench to accommodate Raskin.

No sign of Joe Rothwell.

Here are the current scenes at Ibrox as a group of fans make their feelings known about head coach Russell Martin and chief executive Partick Stewart.

It looks like there's a few hundred gathered at the main entrance to the stadium.

BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

For the second week running, the boos ring out at Pittodrie as Aberdeen's terrible start to the season takes another lurch in the wrong direction.

Yes, they will argue they were unlucky having hit the woodwork twice, but Motherwell deserved to win this game.

In terms of clear cut chances, the Steelmen were well ahead.

The visitors go marching on to Hampden as the pressure continues to build at Pittodrie.

Dundee secure their first Premiership win of the season thanks to a late, late penalty.

Callum Jones kept his cool to deny a Livingston side who had come from two goals behind to level.

Dundee are up to fifth in the table, Livingston drop to eighth.

Motherwell are going to Hampden for the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals.

Regan Charles-Cook's stunner wins it for the visitors as the Aberdeen goal drought goes on.

Late drama as Charlie Reilly is chopped down by Danny Wilson.

It comes seconds after home goalkeeper Jon McCracken saved on the goalline from Liam Smith.

Aberdeen play the ball over the top of the left-back and it's crossed in again. It looks good for Marko Lazetic to attack but the substitute totally misses the ball with his head.

We're one minute into the four extra added at Pittodrie.

Calum Ward got very lucky there.

The Motherwell goalkeeper tries to punch a high cross, gets it all wrong, and the ball slides off his glove and goes behind for a corner. That could have gone anywhere.

He's lying on the ground, clutching his wrist - hiding a red face, perhaps?

How have Aberdeen not scored there?!

A corner is whipped to the front post and Nicky Devlin glances a header on, only to see it smack the underside of the bar and skid away.

Inches away from a leveller.

Substitute Dundee striker Ashley Hay has a great chance to restore the hosts' lead, but the unmarked Englishman heads wastefully over from 12 yards.

That should be 2-0 and the game!

Motherwell have the numbers on a counter-attack, the ball in from the right picks out an unmarked Apostolos Stamatelopoulos, but he doesn't connect properly with the header which drifts wide.

Was he worried about being clattered by the keeper?
