HIBERNIAN have ended their 114-year await for Scottish Cup glory after a thrilling final against Rangers at Hampden.

Alan Stubbs’ side were 3-2 winners at the National Stadium as an Anthony Stokes double and injury-time header from David Gray clinched the win.

Just days after missing out on promotion to the Premiership, Hibs have a reason to celebrate this term.

But the jubilation was marred by disgraceful scenes at the end of the match as tens of thousands of supporters invaded the park.

Hibs fans poured out of the stands and sprinted up the park as the players made their way back to the dressing room at the final whistle.

It sparked an ugly confrontation as Rangers fans made their way out of their end and a series of fights broke out all over the park.

It took several minutes for the police to form a cordon to break up the melee before the Gers fans who had come onto the park headed back to their end and out of the stadium.

Mounted police then tried to force the Hibs supporters back so that the presentation could take place.

It was a shambolic end to what had been an enthralling finale and what should have been a day for Hibernian to savour as they finally got their hands on the silverware.

The smoke from the pyrotechnics in the Rangers end pre-match had hardly dissipated before the other half of Hampden erupted.

With just three minutes on the clock, Stokes picked the ball up on the left flank and was allowed to get within shooting distance as Rob Kiernan and James Tavernier stood off him.

The striker made sure he punished the woeful defending, his shot finding the far corner of Wes Foderingham’s net as Rangers were stunned.

It almost got worse before there were any signs it would get better for Warburton’s side but Hibs couldn’t take advantage of a sluggish and sloppy start from the champions.

Kiernan failed to handle Jason Cummings and the forward saw his shot saved before Stokes was denied with a follow-up effort.

There was a low effort from Andy Halliday that he pulled wide of target before Rangers got themselves level on 25 minutes.

Tavernier had been well below his best in the opening stages but he picked out Miller with a cross from the right and the striker beat Conrad Logan with a terrific header.

It wasn’t a high quality affair but it was certainly end-to-end stuff and Stokes almost doubled his tally for the afternoon as he struck Foderingham’s right hand post with the Gers keeper well beaten.

Just minutes later, it was Miller’s turn to hit the woodwork as his header from a McKay corner came rattling back off the bar.

Rangers had plenty of the ball but couldn’t do much with it and it was Stubbs’ side who finished the first half in the ascendancy, Foderingham saving well from Stokes after he was again allowed to waltz into the Gers area before he came to his side’s rescue again as he denied Cummings.

It was Stokes who had the last chance of the opening period but he headed wide from just a couple of yards out as the Light Blues’ defensive line one again breathed a sigh of relief.

When the action resumed, it followed a similar pattern as chances came in quick succession at both ends.

Liam Fontaine couldn’t find the target with a header before McKay and Miller combined to set up Waghorn but the tight angle was against the striker as he looked to head the ball back towards goal.

After Warburton made his first change on the hour mark as Dean Shiels replaced Zelalem, another midfielder fired Rangers into the lead in stunning style.

It was a moment to savour for Halliday as he sent the Gers fans wild, his sweetly struck effort from the edge of the box flying beyond Logan and into the corner of the net.

The clock was against Hibs but Stubbs’ side certainly didn’t give up as they looked to exploit the Rangers’ rear guard once again.

The Leith boss introduced James Keatings and Liam Henderson in a bid to give his side a spark and nerves were frayed at both ends of the National Stadium.

On 76 minutes, Stokes once again got the better of Tavernier as he shuffled the ball onto his right foot but he ballooned his effort over Foderingham’s bar as a decent opening came was passed up.

Just minutes later, the on-loan Celtic striker got his second of the afternoon. Tavernier was again suspect with his defending but Stokes was clinical as he headed home a Henderson corner at the near post.

It was set for a thrilling finale and Hibernian were the ones celebrating at Hampden.

Stokes saw his strike palmed away by Foderingham but from the resultant corner Stubbs’ side clinched a dramatic winner.

Henderson again provided the cross and it was David Gray who got the final touch this time as more than a century of Scottish Cup agony was ended.
