Hibernian manager Marink Reedijk has challenged his players to replicate their Hampden hunger against Aberdeen as they get back in the "rat race".

Reedijk told them "I want music, I want beer, I want everything" when they returned to the dressing room after beating Hearts in Sunday's Premier Sport Cup semi-final and joined in a rendition of Sunshine on Leith with their fans.

"It was a very beautiful moment," he said. "After the match, you saw what it meant to the fans, what it meant to the club and what it meant to the players. That is important because this is what football is about.

"The best thing for me was that we showed we can get a result in the way we want to play. We can come back from 1-0 down, play beautiful football but also do the dirty work. That was important to see.

"However, it's history now. We need to make sure we can do it over multiple matches and for a longer period of time."

However, Reedijk stressed that they now have to focus on Aberdeen on Saturday and securing a first Scottish Premiership victory of his tenure.

"We're in a sort of rat race, with game after game after game," the Dutchman added. "We do everything at the highest possible intensity, from training sessions to matches.

"Whether it's Hearts or someone else, we need to have the same hunger for every match."
