Former Hibs star Jason Cummings' hat-trick in the A-League Grand final last week showed the Scottish-born star still has his talents about him.
The Australian international scored two from the spot and another from close range against a crestfallen Melbourne City side to put fans of the Coasties into ecstasy - despite finishing second in the table to their opponents.
Winning the A-League isn't as straight forward as coming top of the division; the top two qualify for a semi-final slot, before facing other contenders for a place in the Grand Final. And it was here where Cummings shone, scoring a hat-trick in front of 26,000 fans in Perth to down the league leaders in a shock 6-1 win.

And, alongside his heroics, new footage has emerged showing his leadership qualities that could well have spurred his side onto victory that day - with the Central Coast star also winning one of his penalties after forcing a handball.
He said before the game: "When we're talking, nice and loud."
"If we work our socks off, we'll win this.
"Look at the fans lads, f*****g hell, look at them! They're here for us boys. Let's f*****g do it for them."
The season means that Central Coast Mariners will qualify for next season's AFC Cup - the equivalent to the Europa League in Asia. And that could see Cummings take on teams across the continent.
