ANTHONY STOKES MAY be wearing the green of Hibs today but the Ireland striker, who is on-loan from Celtic, will no doubt have cheered his employers with a crucial double in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers.
Dubliner Stokes opened the scoring after just four minutes, finishing well after collecting a pass from Jason Cummings on the left wing.
But Celtic’s Old Firm rivals responded well through goals from the evergreen Kenny Miller and Andrew Halliday to put the Glasgow side in pole position to lift the cup with 30 minutes to play.
But Rangers were undone by two late Liam Henderson corners, the first of which was headed home by Stokes in the 80th minute, and the second one, 10 minutes later, which was converted by captain David Gray.
It’s the first time Hibs, who also had Donegal’s Conrad Logan in goal, have won the Scottish Cup since 1902.
A pitch invasion followed the final whistle with fights breaking out between rival fans on the field, leaving a sour taste on a momentous day for the club.

Come on Hibernian beat the filth
Fights all over the place real shame this going to take away from the win.. Happy for Stokes..
Rangers skum came on the pitch after the Hibs fans and started their usual crap..
To be fair they are rotten but there is no need for Hibs fans to rub into the rangers players similar to the Hull fan to Richard Keogh during the week..
Your trying to blame Rangers for this trouble…..your deluded!
Take your blinkers off David
Stokes is on fire today. He could have had a hat trick already..Rodgers and a Hibs win would round off a great weekend..
Stokes is a Hibs legend now. 114 years. Delighted for Hibs, what a game.
Hibs would have taken this over promotion every day of the week.
Some match so far how is Kevin Doyle in Ireland squad ahead of Stokes .
Because Stokes is rubbish.. Come on he is in the Scottish 2nd league..
‘Cause he’s a head case…come on the hibs, sunshine on leith
I still think he is better than Doyle .
And Doyle plays for Colorado rapids
Doyle is still playing at a higher standard.. Both aren’t good enough for Ireland.. But I don’t anyone looked at our squad announcement apart Stokes and thought where is Stokes?
I can guarantee that the FA cup final won’t be as good as this game,
And that’s supposedly a “higher standard”
Yeah the players will be tho.. Every single one of them.. So what’s your point?
Doyle is playing for one of the best teams in the MLS at the moment..
Higher standard often makes for a worse game cos they cancel each other out
Nice goal in fairness to him.
3-2 Get in Hibernian
The pitch invasion at the end almost reminded me of an all Ireland final before plan b! That’s until everyone remembered its soccer and your supposed to hammer the sh*te out of each other.
Pmsl..
I hope Stokes lifts the Scottish Cup.
Stokes scores again .
Great final so far..
Plan B Plan B Plan B
Disgraceful scenes
Dry your eyes ffs. Disgraceful scenes your arse.
Some carry on ,on the pitch at the moment
that should be supporting hibs sorry,I’m a Motherwell fan but have always had a soft spot for the hibees,I hope the Celtic fans who claim to be delighted for hibs were supporting them rather than the usual just anti rangers bile
Well done Hibs&stokes!
Good game. What minute will Hibs do a Hibs?
were you supporting jobs for hibs sake or just being anti rangers genuine question
It wouldn’t have mattered who Hibs were playing today. I would have wanted them to win regardless. 114 years they’ve been waiting on this, I’m sure the majority who don’t support either side would have wanted them to win it.
The fact that it was against the tribute act just added a bit of spice to it.
HIbs are a disgrace, pure filth!
