TER Hibs win the Scottish Cup

Hibs have turned down an offer of £1.2m up front which would increase with add-ons and a potential sell-on clause from League One side Peterborough United for star striker Jason Cummings.

Cummings was Hibs’ top scorer last season with 25 goals, and he recently signed a new four-year contract with the club.

He began this season with a goal against Berwick Rangers after only 11 seconds and has been in good form during the pre-season games.

Hibs start their campaign with an away fixture against promotion rivals Falkirk this afternoon  and Head Coach Neil Lennon sees the youngster as a vital member of his squad.

The Easter Road side are short in the striker department with only Cummings, Grant Holt and James Keatings available although Oli Shaw has been impressive in the development squad.
