Hibernian Thrash Livingston 4-0 as Record Signing Klidje Drives Rise to Third

The eye-catching display heightened calls for regular starts after a patient introduction to David Gray's side.

Overview

  • Thibault Klidje opened the scoring inside nine minutes and later won the penalty that Jamie McGrath converted for Hibs' second.
  • Substitute Junior Hoilett added a late brace, finishing two moves created by crosses from Chris Cadden.
  • The result lifted Hibernian to third in the Premiership and ended a six-match league winless run, alongside a clean sheet.
  • Head coach David Gray praised Klidje's constant threat in behind yet said he was reluctant to single out individuals.
  • Livingston stayed bottom of the table as David Martindale acknowledged his team's defensive disorganisation at Easter Road.
