Hibs v Aberdeen: when is Scottish League Cup semi final? TV channel, live stream, tickets and kick off time

Hibs beat St Mirren to reach the Scottish League Cup semi-final where they will face Aberdeen

Hibs are through to the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup following a triumphant and dramatic 4-2 win over St Mirren. The Saints currently sit second in the Scottish Premiership and have been enjoying a phenomenal start to the 2023/24 season but Nick Montgomery’s side was able to overcome their opening goal and subsequent equaliser as Elie Youan, Dylan Vente and Martin Boyle all found the back of the net.

Speaking after the win, the former Central Coast Mariners boss said of his side: “I told them to stay calm, keep playing and don’t get sucked into thinking we need to change the game plan,” he said. “We have the belief now.“It doesn’t matter who we play, it’s a semi-final. It’s a knockout and now we are one game away from a final, but in reality, it’s not even in my mind at the moment. Full focus is Dundee at the weekend.”

The Easter Road outfit will now prepare to face Aberdeen in their final four fixture at Hampden in November. The Dons survived a last minute goal from Ross County to win 2-1 and reach the semi-final.
