Hibs will probably take double their normal crowd to Hampden on Saturday for the Scottish Cup Semi-final. I'm not sure what they normally do on a Saturday, but they're not at Easter Road. Of course they're perhaps weegie gloryhunters looking for a decent team to follow. 
I'm certain Falkirk will give it everything they've got, as they now look to be out of the race for a top four Championship play-off slot. As Hibs have found out already this season, they are a tough nut to crack, having beaten Hibs twice and drawn once. Recently they've been a bit inconsistent, having lost games to Livingston and Dumbarton within the last month.
For once history will be on the side of the Hibees, as the two teams have met 8 times in the Scottish Cup, Hibs winning on each occasion. The last occasion was 2 years ago, when Hibs won 4-3 after being 0-3 down.
It's a big day out with a major reward at stake, and nothing less than total commitment to the cause will do, so my Hibs team would be:-
Oxley,
Forster, Hanlon, Fontaine, Stevenson,
Stanton, McGeouch, Robertson, Allan,
El Alagui, Cummings.
Subs - Fyvie, Handling, Dja Djedje.
