Hibernian produced a superb display of attacking football to claim their first silverware for 16 years with a 5-1 win over Kilmarnock in the CIS Insurance Cup final.

Skipper Rob Jones headed them in front in an open first half amid heavy snow at Hampden before Abdessalam Benjelloun and Steven Fletcher finished clinically as Hibs took control.

Gordon Greer briefly gave Killie slim hope but Benjelloun and Fletcher completed doubles in the final 10 minutes as Hibs won the cup in style.

While the team celebrated, Hibs boss John Collins said: "It's a special day for me as well.

"My mother's not been well, she's sitting in the stands, it's her first game and I'm sure she's had a nice day."

Collins was full of praise for teenage midfielder Lewis Stevenson's contribution. Stevenson was named man of the match.

"Lewis Stevenson in midfield was a leader," said Collins.

"The first time I saw him in a reserve match I knew he was something special. He's only going to get better.

"It's a great feeling, great for the players. They've worked ever so hard and deserve this but most of all for the fans."

Collins, appointed as Tony Mowbray's successor last autumn, admitted he had been fortunate to win a trophy so early in his management career.

"Very lucky indeed. The players, the coaches, all the staff, have worked so, so hard," he said.

"This is what football is about, this is why we come to work, especially days like this."

Hibernian's last major trophy came in 1991, and Collins said on BBC1 Scotland: "Sixteen years is too long. A generation of youngsters haven't seen us do this. Hopefully it won't be 16 years until we win the next one."

Stevenson claimed Hibernian had been flattered by their 5-1 victory against Kilmarnock in the CIS Insurance Cup final - but he admitted it had been a "brilliant" day.

The 18-year-old played an instrumental role but was surprised to be named in the team by manager John Collins.

"I wasn't expecting to be playing today, never mind winning man of the match," he told BBC1 Scotland.

Stevenson admitted the match had provided one of the highlights of his life.

"It has to be up there, especially in my football career," he said. "It's been brilliant. I think 5-1 flatters us a bit to be honest."
