Hibs came from behind to draw with Aberdeen in a closed doors bounce match at Pittodrie this afternoon.

The hosts opened the scoring through new signing Craig Bryson, with Hibs’ equaliser coming late in the match via a stunning long-range volley from winger Daryl Horgan.

The Republic of Ireland international controlled a clearance from the Dons defence before thumping an unstoppable right-foot shot into the corner of the net from around 25 yards.

It was the fourth pre-season fixture for Jack Ross’ men ahead of the new Scottish Premiership season following on from the 1-1 draw with St Mirren, the goalless draw against St Johnstone and the 2-1 win over Hamilton.

Hibs’ final warm-up match will see them travel to Parkhead on Monday to face Celtic ahead of the season opener against Kilmarnock at Easter Road next Saturday.
