Hibernian winger Sam Stanton admits the delight of his first Easter Road goal was ruined by Raith’s shock win in Leith.

The 19-year-old opened his senior account with a superb 20-yard strike against William Hill Scottish Cup fifth round opponents Rovers on Saturday as he cancelled out Kevin Moon’s early opener.

But the Kirkcaldy side ruined Stanton’s big day when they went on to claim a 3-2 win as the Hibees’ 112-year wait for the trophy was prolonged for yet another year.
