Hibernian forward James Keatings says the Edinburgh side will use play-off heartbreak as motivation when they face Rangers in the Scottish Cup final this Saturday.
Hibs were hoping for a double celebration to end the season but their hopes of reaching the Premiership were ended last Friday when they conceded a last-minute goal at Falkirk to lose 5-4 on aggregate.
And Keatings, who netted both the Hibs goals in the 3-2 second leg defeat, says the side are desperate not to endure further disappointment this weekend.
He told Sky Sports: "The manager put me on for the start [on Friday] and I knew I had to go and perform to keep my place.
"I scored two goals, which was good for me, obviously, and I was happy that way, but it was really disappointing that we didn't get the win.
"We spoke over the weekend and we just want to use the disappointment from Friday, take that into Saturday, and use that as motivation.
"We don't want to feel that way again, we want to win the Cup.
"As a young boy, these are the games you dream of playing in. You want medals in your career, you want to go out and lift the Cup. It would mean the world."
