It’s becoming difficult to assess Hibs, as based on tonight’s performance you would be forgiven for thinking they were simply unlucky not to score.

Their xG wasn’t that high but similar to the Edinburgh derby, a more clinical and composed touch in front of goal would have them six points better off after these two games.

Kuharevich and Gayle would come away with three goals between them if they were playing in a confident side but that’s simply not the case.

They were relatively sound defensively and attacked well, often combing smartly to free attackers in promising positions but the final touch let them down too often.

Five games without a victory, winning only one of their nine away games so far this campaign, is a dismal run for any side. Moving above Hearts at the bottom will be scant consolation.
