Has the script been written for Conrad Logan? 

The Hibs keeper is making his debut after 16 months out of senior football. He doesn't look particularly athletic but the big man has made a few useful saves today.

We've had 120 goalless minutes. It's been pretty miserable to be honest. Surely someone will score from the penalty spot? Will Jason Cummings take one after missing in the first half?

United skipper Paul Paton decides to have a go from 25 yards but the shot skews high and wide of the target. That might be it...

My mind is fogging up with boredom and simple arithmetic has deserted me. We still have three minutes of extra time to go. Apologies.

Into the last minute of extra time and United are probing for an opening, with everyone camped deep in Hibs territory.

I thought we were in for a goal-fest, given how poor these defences have been of late but I was forgetting how dreadful the teams are going forward. Less than five minutes of extra time to go...

Hibs striker Jason Cummings, who has hardly touched the ball since that first half penalty miss, cuts in from the right and takes aim for the far top corner. Eiji Kawashima stops it with a slightly awkward push away.

Half-time in extra-time. Are we edging towards penalty kicks?

Hibs look spent.

United midfielder Blair Spittal is grimacing as he holds his shoulder. He's going to need to man up and keep going since all the subs have been deployed.

Conrad Logan take a bow! It's a third one-on-one save from the Hibs keeper on his debut, this time denying Henri Anier.

Billy McKay slashes a shot off target from the edge of the box as the ball falls his way. Hibs have fallen out of this completely.

Dundee United are well on top here and a raking shot from John Rankin is arrowing into the bottom corner before Conrad Logan sticks out a big paw to push it wide.

The final change for Hibs and it's a sub being subbed... Farid El Alagui has had a wretched time with injuries over the last two years and the big man looks thoroughly scunnered as he trudges off holding his groin. Chris Dagnall is on.

Hibs are sitting very deep at the start of this extra period. Trying to create room for the sucker-punch counter-attack or just knackered?

That missed penalty from Jason Cummings seems like a long time ago now. Will he need to take another one this afternoon or will an extra-time goal settle this?
