I'll make up for missing Hampden party

Scott sets his sights on Accies celebration

- FRASER WILSON

SCOTT MARTIN missed Hibs' Scottish Cup triumph celebrations in 2016 for a family party.

But the former Easter Road kid will be leading the mother of all knees-ups if Hamilton take the glory in Sunday's SPFL Trust Trophy showdown against Raith Rovers.

The Accies midfielder has fond memories of his time in Leith and began the season in the first team before Alan Stubbs led them to their first Scottish Cup victory for 114 years.

After being sent out on loan to Forfar though, the then 19-year-old was ineligible for the sensational run that saw them go all the way to dump Rangers in the final.

He watched on from the Hampden stands as Anthony Stokes, John McGinn and Jason Cummings led celebrations that will forever be etched in Hibees history.

And as he prepared for his first proper taste of a final this weekend he recalled: "I was at the game in my tracksuit and it was great watching your mates out there at Hampden doing something so special for Hibs.
