Hibernian recovered from their European heartbreak to come from behind and salvage a Scottish Premiership draw against St Mirren at Easter Road.
Miguel Freckleton’s goal had the visitors ahead just after the hour mark, bundling in a set-piece as the Hibs defence watched on.
David Gray’s side responded within 10 minutes though, as Rocky Bushiri similarly deflected the ball goalward with his hip at the back post following a Thibault Klidje flick on.
Both sides will be disappointed to go away without all three points, such were the number of chances spurned by both.
Junior Hoilett hit the bar for Hibs early on and Bushiri glanced a header wide from a few yards out, while Jayden Richardson could have put St Mirren ahead late on but his chip didn’t have enough power.
There was a dramatic ending too, as Hibs thought they were about to be awarded a penalty for handball. The wait went on for an age, before referee Matthew MacDermid was told there was no foul play. Cue boos following him up the tunnel.
For Hibs, the shared points represent a recovery from their painful Conference League qualifying exit midweek. For St Mirren, it’s another missed opportunity to get their first win of the season.
