Four second-half goals - including a late Martin Boyle brace - help Hibernian stun St Mirren in a six-goal thriller at Easter Road to set up a League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen.
Martin Boyle gave Hibs the lead in the 80th minute, then sealed victory in stoppage time
A compelling encounter twisted again when second half substitute Keanu Baccus blasted St Mirren level with an excellent low drive. But then Boyle bounced into life.First, he blasted in off the crossbar 10 minutes from time. Then, to seal the deal and consign St Mirren to only their second defeat of the season, he coolly found the back of the net late on.
However, Hibs held firm in a tie which ebbed and flowed to maintain Nick Montgomery's unbeaten start after three matches in charge - and send him and his side to the National Stadium in November.Two well-taken second-half goal from the vibrant winger sealed Hibs' spot in the semi-finals. He should have had a second-half hat-trick...Montgomery clearly gives one heck of a half-time team-talk.
Stephen Robinson's side did well to rally at 2-2, but somehow yet again let the game slip away from them after that.
