Hibs did just enough against St Johnstone on Saturday to secure a place in the top six, Lewis Stevenson’s strike cancelling out Stevie May’s opener to earn a point in Perth.

Lee Johnson kept faith in the same line-up that started against Hearts, and the same substitutes bar Mykola Kukharevych who missed out through injury, and Josh Campbell, omitted through illness. The duo’s absence meant a return to the bench for Jair Tavares, and a place among the subs for Allan Delferrière who has impressed for the reserves in recent weeks.

It was a nervy start from Hibs with the hosts on top in the opening exchanges, and May’s overhead attempt on 25 minutes somehow squirmed through David Marshall to give the hosts the lead, but a fine finish from Stevenson restored parity and that was largely that bar a couple of Marshall saves from Melker Hallberg.
