Hibs 3-0 Ross County: Three goals in 11 minutes help Hibs see off Staggies
Hibs scored three times in 11 first-half minutes as Martin Boyle, Kyle Magennis, and Christian Doidge replicated their goalscoring feats from last weekend’s win at Motherwell.
It could have been more as the hosts continued to push for more goals, with Doidge unlucky to add to his tally and Jamie Murphy and Darren McGregor both going close.

Newell with a cute little pass for Doidge into the box but the striker’s effort is just wide of the far post.
HALF TIME/
Hibs 3, Ross County 0 - three goals in 11 minutes from the hosts give them a commanding lead at the break.
Looks like Darren McGregor may be coming on for Hibs in the second half - he’s just left the half-time warm-up to return to the dressing rooms
Half time subs
Hanlon off, McGregor on for Hibs, and Clarke and Burroughs on for Donaldson and Paton for the visitors
Boyle with another one of those darting runs but his cut-back misses the three Hibs players in the box. Doyle-Hayes scoops it back in but Boyle is yards offside - he’s practically on Duke Street.
CHANCE!
Newell could go for goal but he elects to pass to Doidge whose effort is blocked well by Charles-Cook on the line
Doyles-Hayes delivers a looping cross that McGregor helps ontowards the goal line but Doidge’s header is an easy take for Laidlaw
Charles-Cook dances along the touchline and puts an inviting ball across the face of goal but there are no navy shirts lurking. Doig clears it as far as Clarke who balloons an effort towards the back of the South Lower
