Alan Stubbs delighted with Hibs showing in Scottish Cup

Alan Stubbs insists no one will want to face his Hibernian side as they look to end their century-long Cup final hoodoo.
Hibs brushed aside Berwick 4-0 on Sunday to book a semi-final date against Falkirk at Hampden in a competition that they last won 113 years ago.
Stubbs is not claiming his Championship side can go on and win the tournament, but he believes they can give any of the remaining teams a run for their money.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "I thought we were professional. Today was all about getting ourselves in the hat, so from that point of you I'm delighted. We're not just going to Hampden for the day out. Whoever we play it will be tough, but we will be tough for them as well, no-one will want to play us either.
"Berwick did great and this was their day, all the credit goes to them because they've done fantastically to get to this stage but unfortunately for them their run ended here.
"We've got a good balance, with very intelligent footballers who are hungry and have points to prove. I'm just delighted that we managed to get through."
Berwick, second from bottom in League Two, were looking to reach the semi-finals for the first time in their 134-year history but once Jason Cummings had put the hosts in front that dream faded fast.
Manager Colin Cameron said: "The scoreline is a wee bit harsh. We started well, created a few chances. The two goals in quick succession knocked the stuffing out of us.
"We did play some good stuff at times but we never turned our better spells into goals. Hibs are a good team and it made for a very difficult afternoon for us but I cannot fault their commitment. The mistakes we made we got punished for. We've got to take a lot of credit from getting to the quarter finals."
