Lee Johnson has dedicated Hibs' win over Motherwell to the fans as he hailed key duo Kevin Nisbet and Aiden McGeady for their key roles at Fir Park.
The Easter Road side went into the huge game in need of a big three points after a terrible run of form that resulted in a major slump in the league. At one point they sat as high as third place but went into the showdown in Lanarkshire looking over their shoulders at the relegation play-off spot.
Hearts hammered Hibs 3-0 in the Edinburgh derby going into this one but a Nisbet star of the show performance lifted the doom and gloom around Leith with the travelling support sent home with smiles on their faces. The Scotland international - just back from a long-term injury - netted a hat-trick in a five-goal thriller to lift the Hibees to within one point of the top six and just six points off the Jambos in third.
