Hibs remain rooted to the bottom of the Premiership table after losing at home to St Mirren.

The Buddies earned a comfortable 2-1 victory in Leith to leave Hibs boss David Gray winless in seven games across all competitions.

The home fans booed their team off at half-time and full-time while directing their fury across the match towards the board, namely chief executive Ben Kensell and sporting director Malky Mackay.

Hibs now have just one victory in 12 league games as they were outplayed by a St Mirren side who claimed three points thanks to Conor McMenamin’s brace.

How Hibs 1-2 St Mirren unfolded

McMenamin scored after 16 and 31 minutes and that was enough for some Hibs fans who started to leave the ground before the interval.

Gray made three changes at the break to try and haul Hibs back into the game but his efforts were fruitless.

They were handed a route back into the encounter midway through the second-half when they were awarded a penalty.

But winger Martin Boyle stepped up and missed the spot-kick to pile even more misery on the fans in attendance who could barely watch what was unfolding.

Hibs made more changes and did get back into the game when Chris Cadden converted a stoppage time penalty.

And they thought they had grabbed a dramatic equaliser through Cadden again but the goal was checked by VAR who ruled Dwight Gayle was offside.

The full-time whistle sounded with the final score 2-1 and it’s hard to see David Gray surviving that result as we head into the international break.
