McIntyre denies Hibs

Jim McIntyre fired Dunfermline into the Tennent's Scottish Cup final with a dramatic late penalty winner against Hibernian at Hampden Park.

The first tie between the two clubs had ended goalless and the replay looked certain to be decided by extra-time and penalties.

But McIntyre kept his cool to fire home from 12 yards with just three minutes to go to clinch a meeting with Scottish champions Celtic at the national stadium next month.

The dramatic victory also sees the SPL's bottom side claim a UEFA Cup spot for next season, even though their top-flight status remains in doubt.
