Hibs' run of relatively poor results was banished on Saturday afternoon with Lee Johnson's men able to break down St Mirren in a 1-0 win in Paisley
Alongside the anomaly of the 6-0 win over Jim Goodwin's admittedly pathetic Aberdeen side at Easter Road last weekend, Hibs had won just two of their previous eight games. That included disappointing results at home to Dundee United and away to Ross County respectively, and a result on Saturday was almost imperative to their chances of European qualification.
And that they did.
