Hibs coasted to a 4-1 Premier Sports Cup victory over Bonnyrigg Rose in front of a sell-out crowd away at New Dundas Park.
A botched clearance inside the opening two minutes allowed Joe Newell to dispatch calmly into the home net before Ewan Henderson made it two just before the interval but that was far from the final goal of the half. Instantly did Robbie Horn's men hit back through a fantastic lobbed effort by Kevin Smith.
Newell then made it a brace for himself to cap off a manic three-minute spell in first half stoppage time, with the game just about done from then and the second half becoming an exhibition match in feeling. Henderson was on hand though to deliver a fourth goal for his team. It was a return to form for Hibs and manager Lee Johnson will be pleased after a humbling 1-0 loss to League One club Falkirk last time out.
