Joe Newell feels his decision to move to Scotland has been vindicated by the fact Hibernian have reached six consecutive semi-finals since he joined the club in the summer of 2019.
Big days out were few and far between for the 29-year-old midfielder at previous clubs Peterborough and Rotherham, but he is revelling in being part of a team that has become accustomed to playing huge matches at Hampden on a regular basis.
Newell has now made it to the last four of both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup in each of the past three seasons and will be aiming to reach a third consecutive final when Hibs face Hearts in a mouth-watering Scottish Cup semi-final next month after the draw earlier this week pitted the two Edinburgh teams together.
