'I guess beating Alloa away isn't for everyone' - Hibs fans react to Betfred Cup win at Alloa

However, it’s another trip to Hampden for the Easter Road side and a chance for the fans to poke fun at their rivals, who were eliminated by Alloa in the previous round.

David Loudon wrote: "Toot toot! (Virtual) Hampden here we come!"

Matt Reid added: "Thanks for taking ten years off my life expectancy."

Neil Laidlaw tweeted: "Utter tripe. Marciano got away with 2 terrible clearances near the end. Outfield awful performance."

John Sutherland said: "Good result in the end as the most important thing here is getting through to that next round."

Conor McLeod added: "Not a great performance but going through is the main thing - job done. The subs, especially Mallan changed the game."

Ross Millar pointed out: "Back to Hampden for the 8th time in past 7 seasons. Whichever way you look at it that’s an impressive record. And I guess beating Alloa isn’t for everyone."

Keith Robertson had words for Hibs' neighbours: "Who beat Alloa in the League Cup tonight? Better yet, who DIDNAE beat Alloa in the League Cup?"

Jack Davidson joked: "Beating Alloa away isn’t for everyone."

Claire Bond wrote: "I had been hoping for a less stressful end to my day but we got there in the end."

Luke Cunningham said: "Very lucky to come away with the win tonight, but cup competitions are all about finding a way to scrape a win If you need to and it’s another trip to Hampden for the Hibees."
