Martin Boyle scored as Hibernian beat Hearts 2-1 in the Scottish League Cup semi-final.

Martin Boyle scored Hibernian's equaliser in their 2-1 Scottish League Cup semi-final victory over Hearts on Sunday. Hearts striker Claudio Braga had headed in early from a corner, but Boyle equalised in the 19th minute with an expert finish that went in off a post. Hibernian's midfielder Jamie McGrath then scored the winner three minutes before half-time.

The win sets up a final on 13 December against Rangers at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Boyle, 33, is an Australian international in his testimonial year at Hibernian and is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, having played over 400 matches for them.

It was the first win for Hibernian's new Dutch manager Marink Reedijk. Hibernian have had a troubled season, changing managers and currently sitting at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Boyle said after the match: 'It's a special feeling. I've got goosebumps. Moments like this don't come around often and you've got to create them.'
