It has not been an easy run for Hibs in recent fixtures, made worse by Dundee's draw with Aberdeen that now sees the Dens Park side leapfrog them in the league.
A top six finish would have felt like a minimum requirement earlier in the season and Nick Montgomery will have hoped to be challenging Hearts for the European spots. However, as they currently sit seventh in the table, the Hibees will have to work tirelessly in their upcoming fixtures to make this a reality.
Monty will delight in the fact that one of his newest signings, Myziane Maolida, enjoyed a momentous trip to Rugby Park and scored a late equaliser to take a valuable point away. More will of course be needed, and the Easter Road fans will now hope the new squad addition Nathan Moriah-Welsh can add the required impetus.
