Hibs survived a late fightback from Hamilton Accies to post a 3-2 victory and only their second home win of the campaign.

A double from Kevin Nisbet had Hibs in control at half-time, and it could well have been more. Ofir Marciano saved a Marios Ogkmpoe penalty at 2-0, and when Paul Hanlon headed home a third, the hosts looked home and hosed.

But another spot-kick was slammed home by Ross Callachan and an own-goal from Ryan Porteous ensured a nervy ending to the game, but Hibs held on for a vital three points.
