Lee Johnson in Kevin Nisbet 'bail out' verdict as he delivers 'got to be better' Hibs assessment

Lee Johnson admits Hibs must get better after Kevin Nisbet rescued a point at Easter Road.

The Hibees looked like they would be heading for a defeat in front of their own fans before their star striker netted in added-time to double his tally on the day and make it five goals in two matches in what the capital boss has labelled as a point that could prove really important come the end of the season.

The Hibees were looking to build on last weekend's away day success at Motherwell as they bid to maintain the fight to finish in the top six and then look towards the European places. Glenn Middleton grabbed an early opener for the visitors before Nisbet levelled. On the half hour Ian Harkes restored United's lead but a 92nd minute equaliser secured a share of the points. The result leaves the Easter Road men seventh level on 27 points with St Mirren in sixth, but the Paisley side have two games in hand while all the other clubs above them have played one less game than Johnson's side.
