Hibs head to Falkirk tomorrow hoping to take a giant stride towards the Scotish cup final on May 13th.

Vital Quotes:

Can this be the year the Hibees finally end THAT hoodoo?

I for one think this could be the year.

Falkirk Team News:

Craig McPherson will be missing through injury.

Darren Barr was cup-tied while on loan to Forfar,Jack Ross and Tiago Rodrigues have both recovered from minor knocks.

Player to watch: Tiago Rodrigues

The defender will have to be in excellent form to master the conditions and keep the Hibs forwards at bay.

Hibernian Team News:

Hibs will be without long term injury victims Guillaume Beuzelin,Scott Brown,Antonio Murray and Dean Shiels while Paul Dalglish is cup tied

Player to watch: Garry O’Connor

Garry could be the man to send Hibs through to the Semi final,the condition of the pitch will make life tricky for defenders and the powerful centre forward could cash in.
