After a fairly even first half, Nisbet curled in the opener five minutes after the interval and it was virtually one-way traffic after that.

The visitors had one real chance of note in the second half; a header from a corner that Matt Macey pushed away, and Boyle made the points safe in injury time.

Not a great deal to report from the last 15 minutes or so. Half-chances and over-cooked crosses and not much else.

Hibs fans are, however, working their way through the club’s songbook in the sunshine, so there’s that.
