Hibs avoided a slip-up at Easter Road to take a massive step towards European football as goals from Elie Youan and Will Fish gave Hibs a 2-1 win over St Mirren.
A bright start saw Lee Johnson's men race into a 2-0 lead before the Buddies pulled a goal back in the second-half, leaving the Leith crowd in nervous discomfort for the final 30.
But the points would stay in Edinburgh as Hibs saw out the result and opened up a three-point gap over the Paisley outfit and moved within a point of Hearts ahead of their trip to Aberdeen next weekend.
