100% not getting guaranteed group stage has impacted players we can attract this early on which is one of the most frustrating aspects on Aberdeen winning the cup.

Not to drag up old ground but it’s been really disappointing we haven’t been able to secure some really excellent signings early on which I’m sure we could have if we had group stage football

Such is life
Yup. Don't want to repeat myself but Aberdeen winning the cup could be and probably will be a sliding doors moment for Hibs. We couldn't have done any more but that cup final shock would have been transformational in terms of who we could sign and who we could be going forward. A real sickener and I'm not over it by a long way. A very Hibs thing to happen.
