Rory Loy
Former Falkirk & Dundee forward on BBC ScotlandJoe Newell came on at half-time and changed the match. He's such an influential player for Hibs.
FULL-TIME Hibernian 2-1 Raith Roverspublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 20 August 2023
Three goals within 12 second-half minutes lit up the cup tie at Easter Road, where Hibs squeeze through to ensure all eight sides in the quarter-finals will come from the Premiership.
Elie Youan headed Hibs ahead, but Callum Smith's reply suggested a cup shock was on the cards for the Championship visitors.
But it only took 60 seconds for the Edinburgh side to restore their advantage through substitute Dylan Vente, who was then the victim of a high boot that led to Liam Dick's dismissal.

FULL-TIME Heart of Midlothian 4-0 Partick Thistlepublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 20 August 2023
Hearts comfortably book their place in the quarter-finals of the Viaplay Cup with a resounding win against Championship outfit Partick Thistle.
Thistle skipper Brian Graham netted an own-goal to start the scoring of the afternoon off.
Centre-back Odel Offiah scored on his Hearts debut, while Kyosuke Tagawa netted his first goal for the club too.
Lawrence Shankland, the usual goalscoring suspect at Tynecastle, netted in between his team-mates' maiden goals.

Not an awful lot of goalmouth action at Rugby Park, although the ground is still abuzz with chatter after that near thing from home defender Corrie Ndaba.
Celtic have had a few glimpses of goal but haven't tested Will Dennis yet, with Kilmarnock well organised and fully committed.

A big chance for Kilmarnock as Corrie Ndaba leaps at the back post to meet a Stuart Findlay cross, but the defender's header flies just wide.

Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic
No surprise to see Celtic enjoying 69% possession, but they have yet to carve open a really good chance as Kilmarnock dig in.
It looks like Daizen Maeda is going to change all of that, but the winger cuts back inside as he gathers a ball over the top from Matt O'Riley and that allows defender Lewis Mayo to get a foot in.

Kyogo profits from some slack defending to race down the right flank and cuts in to let fly. Killie goalkeeper Will Dennis stands firm at his front post to make the save with his feet.

Kyosuke Tagawa
A first in maroon colours for Kyosuke Tagawa.
Alex Lowry is again the creator. The on-loan Rangers midfielder superbly works the ball across to the Japanese forward and all he has to do is rifle his strike beyond goalkeeper David Mitchell.

With job done (you'd think), Hearts have called on the cavalry.
Forward Kyosuke Tagawa, midfielder Aidan Denholm and full-back Stephen Kingsley are on for Lawrence Shankland, Calem Nieuwenhof and Alex Cochrane.
