Hibernian are bidding to go on and win the Scottish League Cup for the fourth time in their history this season.

Alan Stubbs' side face St Johnstone at Tynecastle on Saturday, with the winners up against Celtic or Ross County in the final in March.

Hibs got their hands on the trophy for the first time in 1972/73 when Eddie Turnbull's team beat Rangers 1-0 in the last four and went on to defeat Celtic 2-1 in the final.

In 1991/92, during Alex Miller's time as manager, they again defeated Rangers 1-0 in the semi-finals and saw off Dunfermline 2-0 in the final.

Their most recent appearance at this stage was in 2006/07 when John Collins' men beat St Johnstone 3-1 after extra time and went on to thrash Kilmarnock 5-1 in the final.
