and live on Freeview channel 276
GK – David Marshall – 7
Made a save from Andy Halliday at the back post but was fairly routine. Not tested otherwise. Good at launching counters.
DR – CJ Egan-Riley – 7
Looked out of sorts in the early going, including picking up a booking, but grew into the game. Showed good tenacity.
DRC – Will Fish – 7

Hide AdImproved on his previous two displays with a steady performance.
DLC – Paul Hanlon – 8
Headed the ball back across for Kevin Nisbet to open the scoring. Executed a number of crossfield passes.
DL – Lewis Stevenson – 7
Had opponents running at him consistently but stood up to the challenge.
DM – Jimmy Jeggo – 7
Another who grew into the game. Didn’t get on the ball much, as is standard, but disrupted Hearts with his fighting qualities off it.
MR – Chris Cadden – 7

Hide AdA consistent threat down the right but struggled with his end product as his crosses rarely found a team-mate.
MRC – Jake Doyle-Hayes – 7
Came into things in the second half. Swung in the corner from which Hibs opened the scoring.
MLC – Joe Newell – 9
The best player on the park. Energetic out of possession to pick up loose and second balls. Excellent distribution throughout.
ML – Elie Youan – 7
Similar to Cadden. Hibs would have been out of sight in this one if Youan had managed to punish Hearts after getting into many promising situations.
FC - Kevin Nisbet – 8
