Shaun Maloney knows hurting Hibs have the perfect chance for derby payback by souring Hearts’ season with a Scottish Cup semi-final win.
The Easter Road outfit were left frustrated and hurt last weekend as they lost 3-1 at Tynecastle and as a result missed out on the Premiership top six.
The Hibs boss is well aware that they can still put a silver-lining on their campaign by going all the way to the final and potentially denying the Jambos a money-spinning crack at the Europa League.
