Hibs had fallen at the last-four hurdle twice in the last six months but there was to be no repeat against Micky Mellon’s side.

Nisbet netted the opener just before the half-hour mark, placing a shot from the edge of the box beyond Deniz Mehmet, before Christian Doidge, although offside, struck a second.

United had their chances but found Matt Macey unbeatable.
