"The important things is we're in the hat for the next round. Berwick did great and this was their day, all the credit goes to them because they've done fantastically to get to this stage.

"It's always important that you don't give the underdogs any impetus. We've done the job and we can now see who we will get later on.

"We've got a good balance, with very intelligent footballers who are hungry and have points to prove. Scott Allan can do unbelievable things but he can also frustrate you, and I'm prepared to put up with the frustrating things.

"I'd like to stay clear of Celtic. Whoever we play it will be tough, but we will be tough for them as well, no-one will want to play us either."

The home side are going into today's game on a dreadful run of form.

They have gone four games without a win, with their last victory coming in the last round of the Scottish Cup against Stranraer.

Dundee United and Celtic meet in the first of three huge games between the sides.

Following this Scottish Cup quarter final, it's the League Cup final next Sunday and then they meet in the Premiership.

We'll get some reaction from Easter Road shortly, and we'll now look ahead to Dundee United v Celtic at Tannadice.

It was a convincing performance from the Easter Road side. with Jason Cummings and Lewis Stevenson on target in the first half and Sam Stanton and Liam Fontaine adding goals after the break.

They join Falkirk in the draw for the last four, which will be held after Dundee United entertain Celtic at Tannadice.

Our colleagues on BBC Radio Scotland are wondering if 2015 could be Hibs' year to end their 113-year wait to win the Scottish Cup...

Referee Bobby Madden brings the match to a close and it's Hibs who go into the draw for the semi-final.

Defender Liam Fontaine nodded home Hibs' fourth goal of the day.

Jonny Fairbairn earns an angry look from keeper Billy Bald. The defender's short passback almost lets Franck Dja Djedje in, but Bald gets their first to clear.

A worrying moment for Hibs as David Gray lands awkwardly after an aerial challenge. He walks off the pitch rather gingerly.

Berwick's Andy Russell comes off and Blair Henderson takes his place.

Billy Bald's excellent stop led to a corner and from Sam Stanton's delivery, Liam Fontaine is unchallenged as he nods the ball into the net. The keeper maybe should have come for that one.

Jason Cummings and Sam Stanton link up to release Liam Craig on the left and his effort is saved brilliantly by keeper Billy Bald.

Franck Dja Djedje is on for Hibs, in place of Dominique Malonga.

Sam Stanton was only on the pitch for a few minutes when he knocked in Hibs' third goal. No wonder he's smiling...

We're into the last 15 minutes of this quarter final and barring a miracle for Berwick, Hibs will be taking their place in the last four of the Scottish Cup.

"The Berwick players are struggling a bit now, their legs are going but their attitude is keeping them in the game."

Berwick's Lee Currie goes off and Scott Maxwell comes on, while Hibs' Dylan McGeouch makes way for Liam Craig.

Hibs' Jason Cummings fires in a free-kick from 25 yards and Billy Bald makes a decent diving stop.
