Mark Glover tweeted: “Got away with that. We can’t keep hold of the ball and Hanlon should never be allowed to pass to anyone more than 15 feet from him.”

Writing on Twitter, @Iain1875 claimed: “Our luck will run out eventually. That was absolute murder.”

Glen Wilson stated: “Grinding out results is what title contenders do.”

John Friary said: “Good away win and I think that until we have crowds it will be critical to turn many potential 0-0 draws into 1-0 wins! Not very entertaining stuff but grinding out a result is important! 13 points and no goals yet conceeded from open play!”

Callum Hanley added: “Back with a bang, Stevie Mallan!”

Eric Sutherland added: “Phew. Maybe not the best performance but another clean sheet, three points and joint top. That’ll do for me. C’mon the Hibees.”

Adam Laidlaw confidently remarked: “We are here to stop ten-in-a-row.”
