Hibernian 0-1 Dunfermline:Jim McIntyre fired Dunfermline into the Tennent's Scottish Cup final with a dramatic late penalty over Hibernian at Hampden Park tonight.

The first tie between the two clubs had ended goalless and the replay looked certain to be decided by extra-time and penalties.

But McIntyre kept his cool to fire home from 12 yards with just three minutes to go to clinch a meeting with Scottish champions Celtic at the national stadium next month.

The dramatic victory also sees the SPL's bottom side claim a UEFA Cup spot for next season, even though their top-flight status remains in doubt.

Hibs continued to pile on the pressure and De Vries did well to claw the ball from the feet of Brown, just as he was about to pull the trigger in front of goal.

The Hibs star then had the chance to make amends when he turned on the six-yard line and rifled a shot at goal but De Vries pulled off a great block before the danger was cleared by McCunnie.

With time running out, Hibs claimed for a penalty when substitute Shiels went to ground under pressure from Souleymane Bamba but the pleas were ignored by referee Craig Thomson.

Instead, the official pointed to the spot at the other end of the park with 87 minutes on the clock when Chris Hogg hauled down Hammill in the box.

McIntyre stepped up for the pressure kick and he kept his cool to chip the ball straight down the middle and fire Dunfermline into the Scottish Cup final.
