WEAN & ABLE

Hibs can take inspiration from our shock cup win in 2004 when our Easter Road kids knocked out a Rangers team packed with international stars

IT was 20 years ago last month but it still feels like yesterday - and it was a day that can still be used for inspiration on Sunday.

If the current Hibs team want to look for an example of what could happen against Rangers, they should take a peek at the League Cup semi-final.

We had a team full of weans - and we managed to knock out a side of superstars at Hampden.

That penalty shootout win was one of the best feelings of my career. When you look back at that Hibs side, with the likes of Scott Brown, Kevin Thomson, Garry O'Connor and Derek Riordan and yours truly - it resembles a right good side.

But in 2004 we were just kids and no one gave us a hope in hell of beating that Rangers team.

They had genuine world-class players in their line up. The de Boers, Mikel Arteta, Michael Mols, Stefan Klos, Christian Nerlinger and so on.

They were paying top dollar for players and had dished out a couple of sore ones to us that season before Hampden.
