Skacel hails 'fantastic' Hearts

Hearts midfielder Rudi Skacel has claimed that his side's Scottish Cup win against Hibernian will be remembered for "another 100 years".

The Czech Republic international netted twice for Paulo Sergio's team as they romped to a 5-1 victory over their local rivals at Hampden Park.

"This day will probably be remembered for a long time, for another 100 years," Skacel told Sky Sports News. "I'm so happy - we're taking the cup home.

"Every trophy is fantastic. This was the derby and we beat our rivals in the final."

The match was the first all-Edinburgh Scottish Cup final since 1896.
