Hibernian beat city rivals Hearts 2-1 in a Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden, with Marink Reedijk winning his first match as Hibs manager. The victory sets up a final against Rangers next month after a competitive Edinburgh derby.
Across the outlets, the central match result and the derby context are consistent: Hibs end Hearts’ edge in a notable semi-final and secure a place in the Premier Sports Cup showpiece. Sky Sports emphasises the historical nature of the win and Reedijk’s first victory in the role, while the Daily Record focuses more on the feel of the occasion—highlighting Hibs’ “old-timers” and Reedijk’s personal reflections around reaching the final. Both Daily Record pieces also frame the occasion around the upcoming Rangers showdown, with one adding a more player-and-moment perspective and the other centring the manager’s reaction.
