 Hibs suffered an injury during the semi @-@ final , when their regular goalkeeper Graham Stack had to be substituted due to a thigh injury . A scan following the match showed that he would be unable to play for between 10 and 12 weeks , and therefore would miss the final . Hibs secured their place in the Scottish Premier League with one game to spare and rested several players for the final game of their league programme . Defender Matt Doherty suffered a foot injury in that league game , but manager Pat Fenlon said he was confident Doherty would be able to play in the final . Fenlon then took his squad to his home town of Dublin to prepare for the cup final and told the media that he had almost finalised his team selection .
