GOALpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 25 May 2014
Now, then. Hibs defender Ryan McGivern plays his side into trouble and the ball is fed to Hamilton striker Jason Scotland who rolls his man beautifully before rifling a superb shot beyond Ben Williams. Hibs lead 2-1 on aggregate but Accies have their tails up...

Hamilton force their first corner of the game following good work by MacKinnon and Gillespie...
The latter whips in the set piece but there's no Hamilton napper close enough to get a header on target and the Hibs defence deal comfortably with the latest Accies attack.

Sad news for Danny Haynes who lands awkwardly following a robust challenge by Jon Routledge and his game is over. To applause from the Hibs fans, Haynes limps off and is replaced by Alex Harris.

I'm struck by how quiet Easter Road is in the opening five minutes. Are nerves affecting both sets of fans in the early exchanges?

Recalled Danny Haynes, playing today ahead of Alex Harris, gets his legs pumping down the right flank but he can't get a cross into the box. Good open start to the game at Easter Road.

"I think Accies are going to get plenty of the ball, even with one up front. It will be a bit of a chess game early on..."

An early free kick for the hosts and Hibs skipper Liam Craig flights a ball into the box but with a peep of his whistle referee Willie Collum spots a foul inside the box and Accies are out of danger.

Not long until kick off at Easter Road. Our intrepid reporter Chick Young says expect a 19,000 sell out today; but still a few empty seats. Folk still in the queue for a pie and bovril?

"There's a problem in this club [Hibernian]. If they win today, fine. But they have to decide if they're ambitious or are happy to plod along as a mid-table side. At the moment, all they're doing is surviving."

Hibernian boss Terry Butcher
Image source, SNS"We felt that Danny Haynes has more experience on the right wing and has more experience.
"He is itching to play, he hasn't played many games for us and wants to show what he's capable of.
"It was nice when two goals went in. The first relaxed us and then we fortunately got the second in the second half.
"It was a performance full of steel more than anything else on Wednesday and hopefully we can have the same today.
"The tie is certainly not over, but it is about seeing the tie out and being very professional."

Hamilton Accies boss Alex Neil
"We know it's going to be a difficult game. If they get an early goal, it is a long way back. But, if we can get an early goal, it is game on.
"We missed Jason Scotland's experience, albeit Mikael did great for us. Hopefully he can give us that bit of edge up front.
"I did not think there was a 2-0 scoreline in it, but that's the way it ended up. There is absolutely no pressure on us. It is a sell-out and everyone expects the Premier League team to win through.
"It is vitally important that we stamp our authority on the game without going gung-ho and getting punished."
