@maximushibee: “Great result but what in the hell was that 2nd half performance all about… two different hibs teams.”

@DHaggart91: “That second half was brutal to watch. Not for faint-hearted.”

@GISALEGEND:"Big result for Hibs this afternoon, now just Celtic & Rangers to do us a favour & hopefully get the results we need v Hearts & Aberdeen to get 4th at least, 3rdsadly a step too far I think but you never know.”

@Tattie1875: "Elie Youan lifetime contract.”

@EddNorval: “Would like to see Lewis Miller starting, with Cadden playing more advanced. Desperate for that clinical #9 once Nisbet leaves. Fair few players that have been brought in that haven’t added to the squad at all. Get rid and build.”

@CanonHannan: "Why did we sit in all of 2nd half.”

@FamousFive1875: "Deserved 3 points that. Should have been out of sight, St Mirren come back into it well, but we defended well. Big Fish and Hanlon solid at the back. Jeggo got criticism but he threw himself into everything.”

@LoganRuth_: "European tour baby.”
