'The right decision was made', 'subs were perfectly timed', 'shocking game of football': Hibs fans react to 1-0 win over St Mirren

Hibs got the victory they needed to alleviate any fears of relegation with a 1-0 triumph at St Mirren on Saturday afternoon.

It was the first game back in charge for coach David Gray after the sacking of Shaun Maloney earlier in the week.

Here’s how the Hibs fans reacted to the result on social media...
