Hibernian progressed to the third round of the Scottish League Cup with a 1-0 win over Stranraer on Wednesday.
Scott Rumsby's 54th-minute own goal was enough to send the Championship side through at Easter Road.
Defender Darren McGregor, who signed for Hibs from Rangers earlier this week, made his debut for the club as the home side dominated possession and chances in the first half, Jason Cummings and Fraser Fyvie both with bright efforts.
The story was the same in the second half and Hibs took the lead shortly after the break when Fyvie's cross was turned into the net by Stranraer defender Rumsby.
The Scottish League One side were barely getting a sniff at goal, as Martin Boyle and James Keatings kept up the pressure from Hibs, but the visitors did have a late chance when Rumsby nearly made amends with a shot that went just wide in stoppage time.
