00:00Well, it's been a blustery old afternoon here at Easter Road, but there was no blowing

00:05Hibs off course in their bid to tie up third place challenge for European football at the

00:12Allianz Equality. They won 3-0 against St Johnson, every bit as comfortable as the scoring

00:23Kieran Bowie. Pretty much a complete performance by Hibs. They restricted St Johnson, who do

00:29look doomed, at the bottom of the table to very, very little. Hard to think of a clear

00:45to 15 games. Six home wins on the bounce in all competitions and they've handed out a

00:52pretty one-sided scudding here. Junior Hoylett was absolutely superb today. He's got a first

01:00touch that could lull a baby to sleep. He's got aggression and hunger still at his age.

01:05I bet you he's brilliant at fives and I bet you he'll be brilliant at fives forever. Oh

01:09my God, what a footballer he can be. He scored the opener, created the second, Hibs pressed

01:15high, squeezed St Johnson, gave them absolutely no space and then did the damage. Clean sheet

01:22three points, three goals and they move on.
