A freakish stoppage-time own goal by Hibernian’s Miguel Chaiwa has put second tier Dunfermline Athletic into the last 16 of the Scottish Cup at the expense of their top-flight visitors.

After a courageous display from the hosts at a packed East End Park, the Fife club stole victory at the death with a scrappy winner.

Kieran Ngwenya’s header from a Matty Todd corner rebounded off the back of Chaiwa and trundled over the line sparking wild scenes in the stands and putting the Championship club into Sunday’s draw.

A drab first half featured little goalmouth action as Hibs forward Kieron Bowie failed to convert the only clear chance.

The Scotland international found himself through on goal with only the goalkeeper to beat, but his delayed effort was saved by Deniz Mehmet.

Despite the absence of a goal until the dying embers, the second half was much-improved, with the hosts enjoying their best spell immediately after the restart.

Andrew Tod’s rasping half volley was pushed wide by Raphael Sallinger, before Zak Rudden came within centimetres of getting on the end of Todd’s low cross.

With 15 minutes left to play, Thibault Klidje headed the ball straight at Mehmet from six yards out but David Gray’s side failed to find any further clear sights of goal and are left with only the Premiership to focus on in the remainder of the season.
