They say you should never go back.
But Martin Boyle blew that theory out of the water after his heroic Hibs return. The Australian international returned on a three-year deal after an ill-fated six month stint in Saudi Arabia that saw former club Al Faisaly relegated. He was only registered to play in time to face Hearts a few hours before the first Edinburgh derby of the season.
He was introduced with the Hibees trailing 1-0 after Lawrence Shankland ’s maiden league striker in maroon had given the jambos a half-time lead. That looked like being enough to secure a third derby win on the trot for the Tynecastle club as the five minutes of stoppage time ticked down. But Boyle got on the end of an Elie Youan cutback to snatch a point with the final kick of the game and send three quarters of Easter Road wild with delight.
