Scared Hibs made it a Hampden stroll for Hearts, insists Jambos ace Rudi Skacel

May 21 2012 By Craig Swan

RUDI SKACEL last night sank the boot into hapless Hibs and claimed they collapsed at Hampden because they were scared.

The Hearts star ran riot in the Scottish Cup Final and helped himself to two goals in the 5-1 capital crushing.

Hibs were hopeless and Skacel rubbed salt ’n sauce into the wounds by insisting Pat Fenlon’s team were frightened into folding and that the win was easy.

He said: “We had to start the right way because we had beaten them three times already this season.

“We knew they would be shaking and nervous if we started well. With their body language and everything, Hibs were scared.

“They had problems at the back and I was confident we would beat them. It was an easy ride.”

The Czech star, who was playing his final game for the club, never doubted his side would triumph – even after Hibs pulled it back to 2-1.

Skacel said: “After I scored our second goal, we had the whole game in our hands.

“We made a big mistake to lose a soft goal. At half-time anything could have happened but our confidence after three previous derby wins kept us believing.

“Our supporters were also fantastic and I hope everybody now enjoys this big party.”
