Such was the amount of Hibs supporters that turned up, the game was delayed by 20 mins, and another stand opened, to allow everyone in.

Add to that the poor home support, the attendance for the game was 4,115.

The "home" support!!

The Hibees were on top from the start, and big Nish soon had us in front.

He then grabbed another, to put Hibs 2-0 up, with Merouane Zemmama pulling the strings in midfield, and looking sublime for most of the time he was on the park.

Hibs went at half time, two to the good.

The second half went pretty much the same way as the first, although Hibs boss John Hughes decided to gradually substitute pretty much the whole starting 11 as the 2nd half raged on, with only new boy Patrick Cregg getting a full 90 minutes.

Derek Riordan added a third with an easy tap in following some good work down the Hibees right hand side.

Jonatan Johansson then scored a screamer on the final whistle to round off a superb performance.

Hibs starting line-up:

Ma-Kalambay (Flynn)
Van Zanten (McCann)
Hanlon (Stevenson)
Murray (McCormack)
Hogg (Thicot)

Cregg
McBride (Bamba)
Rankin (Wotherspoon)

Zemmama (Keenan)
Riordan (Galbraith)
Nish (Johannson)
