Despite fielding a side which contained seven players aged 21 or under, the Tynecastle outfit ground out this victory on spot kicks following the second-half dismissal of Scott Robinson, much as they did in their quarter- final at Tannadice. The chance to appear at the national stadium in March is a huge financial boost to a club which has struggled to pay its players this season and subsequently is still subject to restrictions on the registration of players.
