Bonnyrigg Rose 1-4 Hibernian: Premiership side bounce back with resounding win

Two-goal Joe Newell inspired Hibs to victory against the League 2 hosts

Joe Newell and Ewan Henderson netted doubles as Hibernian avoided another League Cup shock with a commanding victory at Bonnyrigg Rose.

The Premiership side - beaten by Falkirk last time out - surged into an early lead as Newell drilled home.

Aiden McGeady put a penalty wide before tidy finishes from Henderson and Newell sandwiched Kevin Smith's exquisite lob in a frantic end to the first half.

Henderson's superb added-time strike into the top corner capped the win.

SPFL newcomers Bonnyrigg had impressively limited the visitors after the break in a tie twice halted due to fans requiring medical treatment.

Josh Grigor's goal-line clearance denied Hibs substitute Momodou Bojang a debut goal after the striker burst clear.

And the hosts might even have had a spot-kick of their own at 3-1 when the ball appeared to strike the sliding Chris Cadden on the arm.

Victory sends Hibs top of Group D with a game against Morton to come at home on Wednesday. But the Easter Road men's fate is out of their hands with Falkirk - who sit a point behind - and Bonnyrigg both having two matches remaining.
