'Hibs deserved to go through' - the pundits' verdict on Euro exitpublished at 09:41 BST 29 August

Obviously it's a bit raw but what a performance from the second half onwards. Hibs took the game to Legia and were three minutes from making the league phase.
This is a proper Hibs side. They are building something. They should have been out of sight.
But you've got to credit David Gray and his team – they've shown they can compete. They had 24 attempts away to Legia – that tells you how forceful they were. So proud of what these players have given.
They did enough to qualify but just miss out. Gray and his squad will take huge belief from this run against good sides.

It's fine margins, little moments and small mistakes that have cost them. The second-half performance in Warsaw was full of character.
They deserved to get into the league stage and I really feel for them. Their performances in these games have been more than good enough to show they can compete. I would have loved to see them in the league phase and think they would have done really well.
You can only give them huge amounts of credit but that counts for nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Sickening. The guys gave absolutely everything on the night and got zero luck. If Martin Boyle's shot goes in tie is over. Had them beat and just couldn't see it out.
Scunnered but proud of the team, was an outstanding performance and also the fans who travelled heard them all night.
Broadcaster Craig Telfer on BBC's Scottish football podcast
Wthout the distraction of European football, Hibs can just concentrate on the domestic league. And at this stage, I don't think it's outlandish to suggest that they could finish in second place.
Hibs are in a good place. Gray has done a great job there and they'll be looking at kicking on and having a really extraordinary campaign domestically.
