St Mirren 1 - 0 Hibernian

HIBS paid the price for failing to turn their first half dominance into goals as St Mirren survived that onslaught to snatch all three points with a 58th minute strike from Edinburgh boy Craig Dargo.

The Easter Road outfit enjoyed by far the superior possesion during that opening period but boss John Hughes would have been disappointed at the lack of clear-cut chances created with Celtic target Anthony Stokes enduring a forgettable afternoon in Paisely as he rarely got himself involved in the action.

It had looked only a matter of time before the Capital side would score but after Dargo found the net, there were precious few signs of an equaliser coming, even four minutes of added time failing to provide any help to what had deteriorated into a feckless performance lacking in any sign of creativity.
