Hibernian manager John Collins has thrown down the gauntlet to his new side to go on and win the CIS Insurance Cup after dumping cross-city rivals Hearts out at the quarter-final stage.
Rob Jones scored the only goal of the game as Hibs booked a last-four berth at Easter Road on Wednesday evening.
"It is a special second game in a cup quarter-final against Hearts," admitted Collins afterwards.
"If we had got a second goal it would have made it a bit more enjoyable.
"Who would have thought two nights ago that Celtic and Rangers are both out.
"It's a great opportunity for one of the four of us to go on and win the cup. Everyone will fancy their chances."
