00:00So accurate in terms of people are flagged offside because of what looks like their knee or their toes off line
00:06But when you look at that picture, that ball looks like it's in front of the blue line
00:11It looks as close to the red as it is to the blue
00:13And if you want accuracy, I'm not sure that we've got a system that is accurate enough
00:18Thank you very much, Connie
00:27Simran unbeaten in their last seven here against Hibernian, winning three of those
00:34Eight Premiership games since Hibs won here, February 2023, 1-0, Eli Yuan
00:42Not the winner, he is on the bench this evening, that came under Lee Johnson
00:50This is one, he wins six visits
00:57Simran looking to get on the front foot straight away in this second half
01:08Freckleton helped on to, John fired across and all the way across
01:12Now Bacchus, Mandron, who felt he was being held
01:18Attention turns to David Dickinson, but play on as King
01:23Takes himself away from Bowie
01:26Now up to Lundaloo, Lundaloo strike, oh wow
01:32It's up there with what he did at Hampden last week
01:35Dan Lundaloo
01:40Levels things up and that is
01:44The perfect start to the second half for Simran, exactly what Steven Robinson would have wanted
01:52And it's exactly what David Gray would have been expecting in terms of the intensity
01:57And the start from Simran
02:00Just looking, he might be offside by the way
02:03It's a little deflection and nick off of the defender, but this ball
02:07It goes straight through
02:09And I think Lundaloo might be marginally off
02:12It's great play
02:13But we've not seen the replay in the line there, but I think Dan Lundaloo might be marginally offside
02:20See that deflection
02:23Just comes off of Jack Ardell's boot
02:26Great play from Simran
02:27Great play from King to begin with as well
02:30Or does Rocky Bashiri's heel play him on
02:37I think he's maybe marginally off-roaring
02:40But it comes back to what we were talking about before
02:44This has to be so accurate
02:46And I'm just not convinced that we've seen too many of these instances recently
02:50And I'm not sure we've got a system that is accurate enough
02:54This is going to be a factual overturn
02:59And there is going to be a lot of anger around the stadium
03:03It's a second Simran goal that is chalked off
03:06By VAR for offside
03:09He does look offside, you've got to say
03:11But then when you watch the replay
03:13You just wonder whether Rocky Bashiri's boot is far enough back
03:16But I'd love to see the lines on this one again
03:20And see how close it really is
03:22It's a sore one for Simran, that's for sure
03:27And it's a let-off again for Hibbs
03:33They've just been caught
03:38A little bit cold
03:40And you know that David Gray had been telling them
03:42Look, St Mirren are going to come flying out the traps
03:45You need to be fully concentrated
03:47That's slack from Kieran Bowie
03:50Freckleton to clear up the line
03:57And Lundaloo and Bashiri together
03:59Mandron trying to get away from Hanley
04:02Looks to return it to his strike partner
04:05But Hanley recovers into
04:06Proper position
04:09Rocky Bashiri's done well there
04:12To be honest, I think Salinger needs to just clear his lines
04:15Here we go
04:17I mean, it looks like a mile off there, doesn't it?
04:27There we go
04:28I thought it looked a lot closer than that
04:30In real time
04:31No, not even real time
04:33Just looking at the replays
04:34Somebody changed the angle on that one
04:36It's amazing what a frame or two can do to a picture
04:40Absolutely
04:41Well, we've spoken about this as well, Rory
04:43And that, you know, the need for accuracy
04:45And when you're talking about things that are given for such fine margins
04:50You and I know that when you're rolling a picture on a frame or two
04:56How much that can make a difference
04:59In terms of somebody still touching the ball
05:02Or when there's a frame forward
05:04And they're still just slightly touching
05:06Where are you taking it from?
05:08Yeah, well, and also exactly where the position
05:11That's chosen by a human
05:13To put the lines on a shoulder
05:15Or the back of a heel
05:17It can be very, very tight indeed
05:19Which
05:23Probably does lean towards the argument
05:26For allowing
05:27And that one probably isn't one
05:30But allowing a degree, a margin of error
05:32Within these decisions
05:33With one on the first one
05:38Line has been taken off the ball
05:40That's great play from Mulligan
05:43Mulligan
05:59McGrath
06:08Cadden
06:11Cadden whips it in with the left all the way to the back post
06:15Freckleton did brilliantly
06:16Chris Cadden
06:18Gets it back from McGrath
06:21It's a bombardment this time from Hibbs
06:23The deflect
06:24King
06:27And this time it's a Hibbs corner
06:29In front of the away fans
06:30Well this
06:31Cross
06:32Originally
06:33Was one of the cross
06:37Strike as well
06:40That gets deflected behind
06:41But
06:41The initial cross from
06:43Nicky Cadden
06:44Was very, very
06:45Start to apply some pressure
06:54With a set piece
06:55Jimmy McGrath
06:57Take it with his right foot
07:04Curled towards that back post
07:06Well dealt with by Freckleton
07:08Barlasa then
07:09Strikes that at his own man
07:11Martin Boyle down
07:20Wasn't too far away
07:24He got smacked
07:25I'm not sure
07:26He's just been winded perhaps
07:29But he's bounced up fairly quickly
07:31Oh right in the face actually
07:41That's a sore one
07:44Just getting checked over
07:47Obviously
07:47Rugby is well ahead
07:49In terms of
07:50Making sure
07:52Head knocks
07:53Are properly looked after
07:54To be fair
07:55It was good to see Charlie
07:56Turned up in his rugby jersey
07:58There
07:58Supporting Scotland
07:59Unfortunately
08:11And it opens Sumirran up
08:25It's delighting the away end
08:28For the Hibernian supporters
08:31This week
08:32They've had VAR on their side
08:34And they're making it count
08:36well it's not the best of crosses from Nicky Carden and behind but it's still effective
08:50he puts into that dangerous area and there's loads of whip on it they can't clear it properly
08:59you see he gets lots of pace on it difficult to defend against deflects into Chris Carden's pad
09:05it's actually a wee deflection off of Declan John pushes it into the corner and obviously
09:11the St Mirren fans are absolutely spewing well they're hoping for an intervention from VAR
09:19well I'm not sure that looks to me as if a knee is playing them on or in fact the defender
09:29at the far side just gets to the stage where it's you know we're chalking off so many goals
09:40for such marginal decisions not just talking about this game you think in the last few weeks
09:46that one did look on side up
09:48you know Rory you and I have been talking about this a fair bit recently in terms of
09:57drawing lines and finding out somebody's so close and marginally offside is that what we really want
10:03perhaps we should just be having VAR looking at it look at it quickly and make the decision
10:08and get on with things I agree I ditched the lines I think you get a look at that for a limited amount
10:15of time five ten seconds and if you can't tell but they have come up with a decision goal stands
10:21Chris Carden makes it 2-0 his second of the season hips have their cushion that they were so desperate
10:27four and you think with the fine margins that have come in this game how different they could have
10:35been yeah absolutely I mean look from his perspective they've capped
10:57cards for Richard King you can see King is frustrated he's saying his jersey's been pulled in perhaps it has but
11:07it's good play I think that's just a a grapple between the two Kieran Bowie gets go inside of him
11:14I think he goes down pretty easily and he could have carried on but I'm not sure there was enough for
11:20St Mirren to be looking for a free kick for them
11:29St Mirren are just gonna have to get clear heads here
11:33and try to work themselves back in the game there's still plenty time for them
11:41Steven Robinson is going to make a double
11:49good guided on target
11:56looks like a good good chance there for
12:00can't handle he gets up above
12:02I think it was Bacchus that was defending him there
12:06very high one for King to deal with got a second opportunity
12:22that was better play sorry that's better play from Kieran Bowie you know he's been tidy with his play good first touch linking the game more of that
12:33more of that
12:38well St Mirren are just you look at it just the build up to the first half time and they were on top
12:44Hibs were trying to just contain
12:46St Mirren have just been rocked with that second goal and they've got to get back in clear heads and figure things out here
12:52well the change you'll see Jaden Richardson make way for Conor McMenamin and also Liam Donnelly going off Roland O'Dowoo replacing him
13:05two attacking subs isn't it
13:08McMenuamin coming out to where Richardson was you know he's far more attacking in his intent than than Richardson
13:28he was up there on his own it was a difficult one for Boyle
13:41we're just looking at those subs as well you've got Donnelly obviously more of a defensive midfielder he's gone off in
13:47the central area but far more attacking as well so Steven Robinson recognising it's time to gamble
14:00in the league for St Mirren against Dundee in September
14:22been hard to come by for almost all the teams in the league but
14:30it's a good start
14:32oh that's in Celtic really
14:34Martin Boyle now stretching the game
14:39Caden into Barlaser
14:43Martin Boyle wasn't expecting it
14:45he wasn't and I tell you if he just continued that forward momentum
14:50it would have been a very very good pass
14:53see he's caught his heels there the gap is there
14:55if he continues to step forward he's in the box and he's going to be able to get a strike away
15:04as you said he just was not expecting that
15:08here's O'Dowoo
15:10heading for the byline taking Airedale out there and winning the corner
15:15positive start for the man from Dublin
15:20I like him I think he's a really inventive player type that can make things happen in the final third
15:29good defender from Airedale though determined defending not to allow the ball to go into the box
15:35so it's a movement left footed in swinger two hips players go for it was Hanley
15:48flipped it away
15:50oh
15:51I don't know
15:52Kim
15:53fiction
16:07Bowie, a strong defensive header, back is to Freckleton, now King, and one by Barlasa
16:35and again Bowie holds it up, draws King into that physical altercation, see that is just
16:44exactly what you need from your centre forward and tight difficult moments like that is really
16:50really impressive from Kieran Bowie, his game's just starting to come together here tonight.
16:58Carden, now McGrath, Mulligan,
17:07Mulligan looping round Chris Carden but he's never catching that. You can see Kieran Bowie in your picture there he was just signalling to Jamie McGrath when he had it in the central area, he's looking for the ball just
17:28to get slipped into his feet there, instead they've worked it wide into the the wider areas.
17:37There's no chance that Mulligan getting on the end of that as much as he's got loads of energy he was never going to be able to catch that.
17:45chance to break here for Mulligan, Bowie using his strength up against Freckleton, McGrath, Barlasa.
17:59That's good play, really good composed play from the centre midfielder.
18:04because Carden can't get this across beyond Steckland-John.
18:13McGrath, Mulligan bursting onto it, what a move this is from Hibbs, just needed that final touch, Bowie using his physical presence,
18:23Carden will break the way of George.
18:28Lewis and Mirren fans are mourning and complaining, I can understand from their perspective,
18:32but this is good centre forward play from Kieran Bowie.
18:36It's lovely link up play but when the ball comes in here and it spins up in the air, he's strong,
18:42he's holding his ground on two occasions there, that's what you want from your centre forward.
18:47Nicky Carden all the way to the byline, brilliant header from Freckleton.
18:56So just like Bowie, Carden's beginning to piece it together as well, it's more positive play,
19:05not seen enough of that this season, not just in terms of throwing balls into the box,
19:09but Nicky Carden taking a touch and looking to take the defender on.
19:14I just wonder whether he's, you know, even watching him there just now, he's got cycling shots on,
19:19I just wonder whether, injured at the start of the season, whether he's had some hamstring problems
19:24and he's just been playing within himself a little bit. Bowie's in.
19:28Boyle, he's got options here, Bowie's one of them, Freckleton closes it off,
19:33the touch from Phillips, Boyle might fancy hitting one here, instead takes it for a wander.
19:39This has got a feel of Hibs at Patojic, where they're controlling and looking like they're capable of scoring more.
19:46Well Mulligan's really commanding this game, another break into the box from him.
19:51But they are starting to take control, aren't they?
19:55They are, but as long as the game's 2-0, you're thinking to yourself, there's always a real opportunity for St Minan to score one and get themselves right back into it.
20:05This is a civilian team that you never count out, they will scrap to the very end.
20:12Here's McMenamin.
20:17Wendaloo and Pashili going for it, it will be a goal kick.
20:21Wendaloo and Pashili going for it, it will be a kick.
20:35Wendaloo and Pashili going for it, it will be a kick.
20:41And then Dundee United against Rangers, Wednesday the 3rd of December.
20:48And in the Premier Sports Cup, we are at the final at Hampden Park.
20:53St Mirren against Celtic, 14th of December from 3 o'clock Premier Sports 1.
21:00A yellow card for Rocky Bashiri, possibly for a persistent fouling, not too sure.
21:16Off the ball with Wendaloo.
21:22Bashiri in the book.
21:30Z Mirren looking for a way back in, Salinger had to come out and go through Mandron there,
21:43who is laid out in the box.
21:49Phillips the last man back for Z Mirren.
21:51Mandron is back up as Iredale takes that one down effortlessly.
22:07Mulligan, and Bacchus with the foul, he is one that has already been booked.
22:13Good play there, you see Mulligan just checking his shoulders, letting the ball roll across his body.
22:24Tyson back us in and winning the free kick.
22:28Cadden, Iredale, in early from him.
22:35George, happy to claim.
22:37King out to Freckleton.
23:00King out to Freckleton.
23:02Phillips has gone through a power of running.
23:09David Grave getting ready to make a change as Bacchus sends that one way off target.
23:27Here's this one where the ball goes in and Salinger on Mandron.
23:38He's done.
23:39He's done.
23:48For the home supporters.
23:51A double change for Hibernian.
23:53Off goes Martin Boyle.
23:55Of course has such an impressive record against Z Mirren, but no goal for him.
24:00He's replaced.
24:03Started the first game between these two this season at Easter Road, that one-all draw.
24:16The other change sees Jimmy McGrath go off and Josh Campbell come on in his place.
24:25travelled with 리�anner.
24:35These are three main hits.
24:38Steve Kieren.
24:39Bowie in a real wrestling match with Freckleton
24:50McMenamin gets that away
24:52Lundaloo and Bushiri
24:54go for it Lundaloo
24:56rolls it off to Mandron
24:58and the diving save
24:59from Salinger out it comes to John
25:02up goes Mandron
25:04but so too does Salinger who's done well there
25:06he has done well, done really well
25:08the Australian goalkeeper
25:10you see Mandron wants that left boot
25:14and putting it into the far corner
25:15keepers position themselves well
25:17good play from Lundaloo
25:20George has had to readjust to take that
25:34read by Hanley
25:36Mulligan
25:38Iredale
25:49showed a bit too much of it to Mandron but he got away with it
25:53now they can attack
25:56he can again, he's looking early to whip that ball in
26:01I think that tells you as well that he's starting to feel a little bit more comfortable
26:05confident
26:06because it was, it was one touch out of his feet
26:10it's a difficult angle but
26:12as we saw
26:14last season as we've started to see
26:16as this game's going on
26:17he's looking a lot quicker to play that ball
26:20and I think the likes of Bowie, that's what they're wanting
26:22Colije looking back to Mulligan and starting to play some really nice stop hips
26:28back with Campbell
26:40Nicky Cadden
26:47scored on the outside, McManaman great ball in
26:50King well positioned again
26:52to get there ahead of Bowie
26:53that to the hips team it becomes a different dynamic
26:58Nicky Cadden doing that more
27:01for the
27:04the team from east of the road
27:07just keep feeling
27:08was quick to seize on it
27:11here comes another one from Cadden
27:13and this time King
27:15he had to do something with it
27:17and he was relieved to see it go into the arms of his goalkeeper
27:20yeah that's it
27:22you're asking questions of defenders constantly
27:24when you've got balls like that getting whipped in at pace
27:28even though there might not be too many hips players in there
27:30because it's in behind them
27:32they're facing their own goal
27:34they've got to defend it as you said Rory
27:36Menemun
27:43squared up to Nicky Cadden
27:47and flattened
27:48there's the opportunity to make another change
27:51we'll see
27:53Vickle Mandron head off
27:56Joe Nyunga is the man coming on
27:58he came on to good effect at Hampden
28:00last weekend
28:01the Kenyan striker replaces
28:07Samirin's top goal scorer
28:10in Mandron
28:11Steven Robinson looks to switch it up again
28:21inside the final 20 minutes
28:25to try and take something from this game
28:28Lundaloo was wanting the ball down
28:33the tight touchline
28:36McMenamin
28:37electing
28:38to wait and send it in
28:40but Cadden it's a simple header for him
28:42and now Kleeje
28:42is this path closed off by Odowo
28:48now King
28:50Iunga
28:50there's Hanley sliding in
29:00sending the ball high
29:01between Boshiri and Cadden
29:04it was a bit untidy for Hibbs
29:06but it's an important block from Grant Hanley
29:10it's what he brings to this side
29:12that defensive nous
29:14front post area
29:16shuts it off
29:17it's a dangerous ball
29:18he blocks it off
29:20makes sure it doesn't become any more dangerous
29:22we're going across the face of goal
29:24there's another leader
29:28in that side
29:30Bacchus sends that one in
29:33there's Salinger
29:33and you know that leadership is so important
29:36particularly with the absence of Joe Newell
29:38although he is getting back
29:41that's quickly taken by Salinger
29:43and what a ball forward to Campbell
29:45but it will skip all the way through
29:47to George
29:49David Gray has been talking about
29:55Joe Newell
29:56and the influence that he's been having
29:58on the training ground
29:59ensuring
30:00that despite his injury
30:02that standards
30:03kept to a high
30:04it's going to be difficult for him to get his
30:09his way into the side
30:11there's a lot of competition
30:12Chai was on the bench at the moment as well
30:15in that central area
30:17but I do think
30:19yeah
30:19that even if he's not playing
30:21you do get the sense that
30:22he's an important guy to have around the changing room
30:25Lundaloo
30:30Phillips comes in
30:31Bacchus now
30:32Iunga
30:35in the cutback
30:44it's Cadden
30:46that was behind everyone
30:47Miguel Chai will be coming on shortly
30:54in the meantime
30:56Samirin continue to look for a way back into this
31:00Adobu
31:02and there's Nicky Cadden this time
31:04that's probably one part of the game
31:08that Nicky Cadden
31:09especially this season
31:11not looking fully fit
31:13back post
31:15defensive questions being posed
31:16I mean he's not been
31:18on his game
31:20quite enough
31:21today
31:22I think his game has just got better and better
31:24and defensively they are
31:25switched on
31:26concentrated
31:27and dealing with the danger
31:29Samirin
31:32as they're having to
31:33ask all the questions
31:35another one comes into the Hibs box
31:38again
31:39it's Hanley to head clear
31:40that's a Hanley
31:43free kick to win
31:44and
31:45will be
31:46the yellow card for Declan John
31:48it's good play
31:52from Hibs
31:54composure to play a couple of passes
31:56and then the
31:57the desire from Mulligan
31:59to drive and run
32:00and stretch the opposition
32:01Declan John absolutely
32:03wipes him out
32:04yellow card
32:05no doubt about it
32:06that's great play
32:18from Borlasser
32:19it really is
32:19there's a calming influence
32:21in there isn't he
32:21it's a
32:23it's a really good
32:25contrast of qualities
32:27between he
32:28and Mulligan
32:29they complement each other well
32:31Nicky Cadden
32:36lofted Bowie
32:38will help it back
32:39Chris Cadden
32:40drives it across
32:42and
32:42Fraser couldn't take any chances
32:44with that
32:45yeah
32:47it's good play
32:48side to side
32:49his first touch
32:50just gets caught under his feet
32:51slightly
32:51it's not the best
32:52but
32:52Kieran Bowie makes something of it
32:54and then it's just panic stations
32:57in the St Mirren defence
32:58because
32:58they're constantly getting
33:00put under pressure
33:01they're constantly being
33:02made to defend
33:04and Marcus Fraser
33:07just making sure
33:07it goes behind
33:08for a corner
33:09taking no chances
33:10so it will be
33:13Dan Barlasa
33:14that heads off
33:16good night's work
33:18from
33:19the man from Gateshead
33:20Miguel Chaiwa
33:22Zambian International
33:23comes on
33:24and
33:50of course
33:50Nicky Cadden
33:51got up his sleeve here
33:52misses everyone
33:58and
33:59Campbell
34:01did manage to rescue it
34:03before
34:03went out for a throw
34:05Mulligan
34:08coming into the back post
34:09as Cadden
34:10will be another corner
34:11you can tell
34:16Hibs are actually
34:17quite enjoying the game
34:19still a real competitive edge
34:21to it
34:22but they're creating
34:25opportunities
34:26they're looking dangerous
34:27as I said
34:30it's got a similar feel
34:31to the game
34:32at Pataudry
34:33at this point
34:35make a deal with Chris
34:47and Cendall
34:48and Cendall
34:49will claim that
34:50as it rattles off
34:51the underside
34:52of the bar
34:53Hibs have three
34:54the points surely now
34:56save for a rare victory
34:58in Paisley and Chaiwa
35:00with
35:02an immediate impact
35:043-0
35:08Hibs lead
35:09well we'll see who
35:12it deflects off and we'll see if it was on target
35:14Cadden putting in a
35:16dangerous ball
35:17well there's nobody that's offside
35:20this will be the angle it'll tell us
35:26is it
35:30Marcus Fraser? I think it is
35:32deflects off Fraser
35:33this one might tell us
35:40I'm pretty sure it's Fraser
35:42you just watch here the captain's armband
35:44kneels down, heads it
35:46this is a pretty impressive
35:52result now for Hibs you've got to see
35:54staring at
35:563 points and 3 goals at the moment
35:58away against St Mirren
36:00the team that have just got themselves
36:02through to the Premier Sports Cup final
36:04and it's what they're capable of
36:08Rory and I think that's where the frustration
36:10comes from
36:11the management team, the supporters, the players
36:14themselves, you look at
36:16what could have been so far
36:18still lots to go this season
36:20and if Hibs can find a bit of consistency
36:22they will be up there challenging
36:24with the top teams
36:25even at this early stage you think
36:28Hibs could comfortably be in second place
36:30comfortably
36:31so two further changes
36:35from Stephen Robinson
36:36as Declan John and Dan Lundlew
36:38make way for Scott Tanzer and Malik
36:40Dyke steal
36:41I don't think we cleared up whether
36:52Chaiwa's strike was going to go on target
36:56but I think we give him the goal
36:57rather than the own goal to Marcus Fraser
36:59I don't think there's any doubt
37:03definitely
37:04it goes to Chaiwa
37:05there's Nicky Cadden back in
37:09shielding that away
37:10there's a lot of things that
37:12David Gray will be positive about
37:14this game but
37:15that'll be right up there
37:16seeing Nicky Cadden
37:18in the second half
37:19really starting to come into his
37:21into his form
37:22into his game
37:23Kieran Bowie
37:26not outstanding
37:28but just looking
37:29parts of his game
37:31starting to come together
37:32again as well
37:33you know
37:35and this is a place
37:35that's a major test
37:36absolutely
37:37now don't get me wrong
37:39there are moments in the game
37:40that have definitely fallen
37:42in Hib's favour
37:42but they've capitalised on it
37:44they've
37:45they've really hammered home
37:46the ascendancy
37:47when they needed to
37:48which has probably
37:50been one of the criticisms
37:51of them so far
37:52that they've not done that enough
37:53DOWU low ball across
37:56some excellent defending
38:00from Airedale
38:01he had to get there
38:03and did
38:03yeah very good defender
38:07and you know
38:08fair play to Iunga
38:09you can see him at the back
38:10post here
38:11desperately trying to get
38:12in across
38:13understandable
38:15you want your attacker
38:17to go and try and get there
38:18but
38:18Airedale
38:21good defender
38:23and you know
38:24we've heaped praise
38:25on St Mirren
38:26for everything
38:27that they've done
38:28in the Premier Sports Cup
38:29this season
38:30they were fantastic
38:31last weekend
38:32but the league form
38:33will be a concern
38:35to Stephen Robinson
38:35yeah of course it will
38:36it will
38:37there's no doubt about it
38:38but as I've already
38:39just mentioned
38:40with regards to Hibs
38:41there's a long way to go
38:42and there's plenty of time
38:44for St Mirren
38:44to turn things around
38:45but I tell you what
38:46you ask any of the
38:48St Mirren fans
38:49I'm pretty sure
38:49they would forgo
38:51a top six finish
38:52to get their hands
38:53on a Premier Sports Cup
38:54that's for certain
38:55they've had the consistency
39:02in the league
39:03now they've got an opportunity
39:05to get their hands
39:06on a trophy
39:07Nicky Cadden
39:12makes way for
39:14Jordan
39:16and also coming on
39:18is Junior Hoylet
39:21and it's Kieran Bowie
39:24that will
39:25come off for a rest
39:27these players
39:30can accept
39:33a bit of a break
39:34the international
39:36window coming up
39:38Junior Hoylet will be
39:39away with Canada
39:40he'll be delighted
39:53he really will
39:54seeing more points
39:58being dropped
39:59last week
40:02late on
40:02frustration
40:03disappointing
40:04to come away to
40:06St Mirren
40:07and convincingly
40:08win here
40:09Cadden
40:10Hoylet
40:11looks to return it
40:12to Chris Cadden
40:13will be a goal kick
40:14five minutes left
40:31at the Smycer stadium
40:32KJ and King
40:41challenge for it
40:42it's Mulligan now
40:42it's just too far
40:44in front of Chris Cadden
40:46he's not made too many
40:47mistakes this evening
40:48it's a major
40:50won't be a good
40:52match
40:56he's not made too long
40:57to go
40:58to Bata
40:59and he's not made too long
40:59to go
41:02to Bata
41:03and he's not made too long
41:04to come
41:05to Bata
41:06and he's not made too long
41:06to go
41:08after the break
41:09some more
41:09and they will
41:10look at
41:10Bata
41:10and they will
41:11find the
41:11ping
41:11and
41:11to go
41:12to Bata
41:13and then
41:14Smycer
41:14and
41:16After the break, Cymourne will be home to Celtic, Hibs home to Dundee.
41:27This will move Hibs back up into third place.
41:32Looking to start to reel Celtic in ahead of their game tomorrow against Kilmarnock.
41:40Aberdeen play Motherwell, Dundee Rangers, Harts, Dundee United.
41:46After Livingston came back earlier on today with a late equaliser against Falkirk,
41:57who have briefly taken third spot, but they're going to be bypassed by Hibs.
42:09Confident passing out from the back for Hibs in their own box.
42:13You've got to say, these last two victories on the road against Aberdeen and St Mirna have been impressive.
42:23Could have been three out of three with the game at Livingston, they'll be disappointed with that.
42:27But you can just start to see things evolving and progressing for Hibs this season.
42:37They'll be a little bit disappointed, I think, maybe, that it's going into an international week.
42:42They'll probably want to just get the next game as quickly as possible after this.
42:46Menemann and there's Salinger.
42:59Really, their away form's been excellent, only Harts have picked up more away points.
43:03It's been at home where, really, they've let too many points slip.
43:08Absolutely.
43:10To sort that out.
43:12And from commanding positions as well, a lot of it.
43:18But they need to forget about that now.
43:19You know what I mean?
43:20All you need to do is look at last season, they had a horrific start.
43:23And then they found real consistency and finished third.
43:26That's one back by Odowo, Iunga peels out to the left, Dyke steals in the middle.
43:34Iunga goes it alone and splashes it off target.
43:40Odowo has gone the wrong way for me.
43:42He's gone the wrong way.
43:43When he steals it here, I think he's got to be slipping it down the opposite channel.
43:48See the substitution, Dyke steal coming down on the inside and it was a Yunga on the other.
44:02I just think that Odowo could have played it in.
44:06He was more central, there was more space.
44:09Rocky Bashiri slightly fortunate to get away with that.
44:12Here's Mulligan driving through the middle of the park.
44:14That's absolutely outstanding.
44:16Mulligan carving through Samirin again.
44:20It's Obita, oh, he went for the near post and George had to stride a foot out to nip it out for the corner.
44:28Great play, lovely one-two as well.
44:31And then he knew there just to hold his pass because I think Obita had just drifted offside initially.
44:37And then lays it into his path so he's able to step onto it.
44:40He's certainly enjoyed the trip to Paisley, 1,500 away fans.
44:55It's Junior Hoylet with the curling effort, old Georgetown.
45:00He managed to catch that.
45:01He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:02He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:03He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:05He's probably giving up about six to eight inches against Richard King.
45:10Here's Dyksteel.
45:11Here's Dyksteel.
45:12He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:13He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:14He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:15He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:16He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:17He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:18He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:19He's got a great leap, Klee Jay.
45:28He's probably giving up about six to eight inches against Richard King there.
45:35Here's Dyksteel.
45:36That's in on the left, he never got the purchase on the shot.
45:40the shot Michael you're a man of the match this evening well I think there's been a few candidates
45:48in the hip side this man on the ball Grant Hanley's been outstanding in the centre of the defence but
45:54Josh Mulligan he got the first goal which is key and I think his all-round game is just
45:59it has been very very strong second half maybe not as bright as the first was but certainly
46:06there's still been moments of quality in that second half from young Josh Mulligan so for me he's my man of the match
46:20no late drama this week to take points away from Hibbs
46:26toilet is a scything challenge that the free kick is now given was a
46:32bad one from Ndowoo who picks up a yellow card
46:39I don't think there's any doubt Hoylet's driving on inside
46:43catches Hoylet, doesn't get any of the ball
46:46the Samirn were the only top flight club that Hibernian failed to beat last season
47:05so now he needs to sort out that record
47:18Hoylet to take up goes Iredale and comes Cleetje, well Hanley went for it so too
47:25did Richard King he's an excellent piece of defending from the Jamaican international
47:32it was an important one wasn't it because just when you thought it was going to drift behind for the
47:38the bike it was kept alive by Hoylet and then you're thinking Hanley's going to knock into the back of the net but
47:44King came up, trumps with that one
47:58Caden looks for Cleetje, that one will just bounce through
48:03it gives them another dimension though to both Cleetje, he really does
48:06and he might pick this up as well misplaced past Cleetje has a man alongside him in Campbell
48:14and he was always stretching and well he's done some damage to the Spicer Stadium
48:19dislodging one of the filament lights up there that hopefully is able to stay attached
48:27I think I'd be vacating my seat right now yep not quite hanging by a thread but almost
48:40mine to follow so they can see that there is three different types of players
48:49Ciara's header
48:54Phillips
48:59coming up to Hoylet
49:00this offers a chance to start to build a winning run for David Gray and Hibernian, they've
49:13been tough to beat all season there's no doubt about that only two losses in the league
49:18Peejee, Chaiwa, they're not quite finished yet, roundabout, just over a minute left, a beat
49:32up with power and the deflection of Fraser had to be dealt with, good reactions from George
49:37I would suggest this is probably a stronger performance from away side than Samirin have
49:43faced at home in quite a while, they've created loads of chances, Hibs, in the second half
49:55certainly Hibs have shown their dominance, their quality, there were very very fine margins
50:03which I'm sure Steven Robinson will talk about that came early on in the game
50:13Hibs, Chaiwa, final 20 odd seconds of the game, Hibs coasting to a valuable victory
50:30Iredale, and Hibernian head into the international break in a very positive mood, the outstanding
50:49Josh Mulligan got it all started, three goals and Samirin brought back to earth with quite
51:01the bump after their heroics at Hampden Park last weekend, Hibernian, that was a complete
51:11performance from David Gray's men, a much needed victory, just their fourth in the Premiership
51:18this season, but they were well worth it in the end, and the final score at the Spicer Stadium,
51:27Samirin 0, a rare defeat for them on home soil, Hibernian.
