PREMIERSHIP

Hibs 2-3 St. Mirren
O’HARA (P) 15 
OLUSANYA 17 Le Fondre 72 Doidge 82
GREIVE 89
ATT: 17,586
Referee: E Anderson
VAR: K Clancy
- A late Alex Greive winner secures a deserved three points for Saints who dominated the match up until around the 70th minute mark
- Toysosi Olusnaya scores his first league goal for the club in his first start following a late injury to Mikael Mandron during the warm up allowed the Englishman a place in the first XI. His strength and pace caused havoc all afternoon and just over a year on from joining Saints finally looks to be an established member of the first team squad.
- Mark O’Hara and Keanu Baccus produce a midfield masterclass, with the Australian giving his best performance since appearing at the World Cup last November.
- This is Saints first opening day win since 2020
