That's all for tonight folks.

Hibs are through to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. The Cove players will be knackered on the bus home but can be proud of their efforts.

Hibernian manager Shaun Maloney doesn't sound too pleased about the Jack Ross interviews that appeared in some of today's newspapers.

"We had the previous manager come and speak out publicly which was difficult," he says. "I found it quite disrespectful to me and my staff and the club more importantly. That wasn't appreciated.

"Martin Boyle... We'll know more in the next 24-48 hours but I have to say the boy himself has been very good, very professional."

Hibernian manager Shaun Maloney tells BBC Scotland: "I'm very happy to still be in the cup. For sure the performance can be better but the result is the big thing in these competitions.

"I knew it was going to be a threat of a game, the Cove players they have aren't League 1 players, the manager isn't a League 1 manager.

"I actually felt we got better as the game went on. I have to be happy with the players, the way they kept going, trying to play even into extra-time. We did create chances and in a cup competition its about staying in it."

Shaun Maloney coming up in just a moment...

The Hibs boss sounds like he's very much resigned to losing star man Martin Boyle, who didn't feature tonight.

The Scottish Cup fourth round continues tomorrow night, with Rangers at home to League 2 Stirling Albion.

The rest of the games follow on a bumper Saturday, with the fifth round draw to follow the last match, which is Alloa Athletic v Celtic.

No sign of Hibs boss Shaun Maloney yet as the BBC Sportsound crew bravely chunter on. He may have a few harsh words for his side before facing any media.

Cove Rangers manager Paul Hartley tells BBC Scotland: "Really proud of the players, with the performance they put in against a good Hibs team. There wasn't a lot between the teams, maybe we just ran out of legs a little bit.

"You could hear by the crowd they were having a go at their team. We came here with a game plan and it worked and it's just a shame we didn't get to penalties or nick a goal. We wanted to come here and put on a show and we certainly did that.

"It was a credit to League 1 that we came here, had a go, we had them on the back foot at times."

Kevin Nisbet now has nine goals for the season and it's two goals in four games under new boss Shaun Maloney.

The first half seems like a long time ago now, but remember Christian Doidge had a goal incorrectly ruled offside.

Hibs goalscorer Kevin Nisbet tells BBC Scotland: "We just had to keep plugging away and it doesn't really matter how you get through how you get through to the next round. We're just delighted to be there.

"I thought the deliveries were great all game, as strikers we need to get on the end of them and thankfully when Josh drilled one in I managed to connect with it.

"Cove are a great team. We played them last year and they made it tough for us up there."

It wasn't pretty, but Hibs are in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

All the plaudits go to part-time Cove Rangers.

Kevin Nisbet, a second-half substitute, finally found a way through for the Scottish Premiership side.

Brave Cove have found a second or third wind but time is running out.

Cove aren't finished yet. Hibs keeper Matt Macey paws a low cross back into trouble and Jevan Anderson's follow-up shot is deflected narrowly wide.

Joe Newell picks up a caution after a tug on the shoulder of an opponent near halfway.

Scott Ross catches Jamie Murphy with a late lunge. Play carries on for a while but the ref was never going to forget an ugly clatter like that.
