Flo Kamberi scored Hibs' clinching goal in the second half

Hibernian progressed to the last 16 of the Scottish League Cup with a routine win at League Two Elgin.

Summer signing Joe Newell slid in Daryl Horgan's cross for his first Hibs goal to give the visitors an early lead.

But the Premiership side made hard work of putting the game to bed and needed a superb save from Ofir Marciano to deny Rabin Omar a second-half equaliser.

Omar's misplaced pass then teed up Flo Kamberi, who earlier had a goal wrongly ruled offside, to net the clincher.

Group C winners Hibs join Ross County and Partick Thistle in the knockout stage.

The other five group winners and four best runners-up will be decided this weekend, with 13 games on Saturday and two on Sunday, to join Scotland's four European representatives in the last 16.

'Offside call a stinker'

Hibs manager Paul Heckingbottom on assistant referee Douglas Ross' decision to flag Kamberi's first-half strike offside: "It was a stinker. It was probably the worst I've ever seen in terms of distance onside. It's a bad one."

Elgin boss Gavin Price: "We didn't look out of place against a very good Hibs side and I'm pleased with that."
