Hibernian 1-2 Ross County
by Our Sports Desk
ALEX SCHALK’S dramatic last-gasp goal gave Ross County a 2-1 Scottish League Cup final victory over Hibernian at Hampden Park yesterday to take a major trophy back to Dingwall for the first time.
Staggies midfielder Michael Gardyne opened the scoring in the 25th minute before the Championship side drew level through defender Liam Fontaine seconds before the interval.
However, in the final minute of the 90, Schalk was on hand to hammer the ball into the net from a yard out after Fontaine had put it in his path in trying to clear a Gardyne cross.
It was tough luck on Hibs, who had the bulk of possession and attempts on goal.
However, the triumph for County — who only joined the Scottish Football League in 1994 — in their first League Cup final marked a great double for Highland football, given rivals Inverness are holders of the Scottish Cup.
