Two players net hat-tricks as Hibs reserves beat Dundee 8-1

Fraser Murray and Jamie Gullan both grabbed hat-tricks and Oli Shaw a double as Hibs crushed Dundee 8-1 to clock up a third-successive win in the SPFL Reserve League since the winter break.

All Fraser Murray's goals came in the first half

Murray’s three came in the first half and Gullan’s in the second after he’d replaced Lewis Allan midway through the second period.

New boss Paul Heckingbottom and his assistant Robbie Stockdale were at Oriam to see the Easter Road side race into a four-goal lead by the interval.

Murray got the first of his goals in the seventh minute, heading home a Nelom cross before Shaw got his head to a Mackie corner. Midfielder Murray nodded in his second and completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

Second-half substitute Jamie Gullan scored a treble for Hibs

Gullan quickly grabbed two second-half goals before Sam Fisher pulled one back for Dundee only for Shaw and Gullan again to complete the rout.

Hibs: Dabrowski, Stirling, Sadiki, Waugh, Nelom, F Murray, Bigirimana, Block, Mackie, Shaw, Allan. Substitutes: Martin, Donaldson, I Murray, Campbell, O’Connor, Paton, Gullan.
