World news – GB – Hibs v Dundee LIVE: Team news and updates from the Betfred Cup match on Easter Road

It’s been a few days of celebrations as Steve Clark of Scotland sealed their return to the international championship stage for the first time since 1998 with a dramatic penalty shootout victory in Serbia.

Dens Park – run by former Hibee James McPake – advanced on goal difference Tuesday evening with a comfortable 3-0 win over Cove Rangers, but had a mixed start on the tournament, losing 6-2 in the capital already this season as courtesy of Tynecastle.
