Hamilton player/manager Alex Neil insists he always believed his side could overturn their 2-0 first leg defeat in the Premiership play-off final and win promotion.
Accies did just that at Easter Road on Sunday as goals from Jason Scotland and Tony Andreu took the tie to extra time before the Championship runners-up won 4-3 on penalties, with keeper Kevin Cuthbert saving from Kevin Thomson and midweek hero Jason Cummings.
Neil said: "I am delighted for the players and the fans. A lot of people wrote us off but I didn't feel it was a 2-0 game on Wednesday. I told them to believe in themselves and to believe they could do it and once we got the first goal it changed a lot.
"I always believed we would win. I just had a feeling - I don't know what it was. I was actually going to play myself but I had a feeling and I took myself out of the team again. I changed it about and to a man we were unbelievable. The effort we put in was incredible."
Hibernian boss Terry Butcher said: "I want to continue because I would like the opportunity to be able to restructure the club in the right way. I think that situation is out of my hands now.
"I've had plenty of opportunities to stop the slide and to have won football games - that's my job. I haven't done that enough."
