Raith Rovers 1-3 Hibs RECAP: Comfortable victory for visitors in Iain Davidson testimonial
Here’s how the contest played out...
Raith Rovers v Hibs: Updates and analysis from Stark’s Park
Raith have pulled one back. Hanlon is dispossessed deep in his own half. Poplatnik isn’t able to get a shot away but he is able to hook the ball across goal for Connolly to score from close range.
It’s another goal for Hibs. Boyle goes down the left and crosses for Nisbet to tap home from close range. This is met by booing from the home support who are not impressed with their players... or not impressed with Hibs for... being too mean?
It’s 2-0 to Hibs.
Nisbet flattens Benedictus with a shoulder charge as the two battle for a through ball. He advances and shoots for goal. The effort is partially blocked by Berra but Bradley is there to head it in from close range.
Davidson, who is a Brechin City player now, has been taken off in what will be a pre-arranged deal with his new club. He is replaced by Christophe Berra and the former Hearts captain is heartily booed by the Hibs fans.
Macey pulls off an impressive save at full stretch to deny Tait from distance again. The chance came about after a lax pass from Porteous.
Boyle gets a site of goal after being fed down the left. His shot is deflection just wide by Davidson, who gets a hearty applause from the crowd for his efforts.
Nearly another for the visitors and again it’s a headed chance. This time it’s Hanlon getting up well to send a looping header to the back post. The effort from Magennis’ corner drops just over.
