• Saints 10 match unbeaten run in all competitions comes to an end with a second half collapse at Easter Road, ending the hopes of silverware in the League Cup at the Quarter Final stage. Stephen Robinson makes two changes, with Boyd-Munce and Mandron coming in for Baccus and McMenamin.
• Scott Tanser volleys home an outstanding effort just before half time to cap a good first half performance where Hibs had done little to trouble Zach Hemming and the Paisley side looked well in control.
• A sluggish start to the second half however put Saints on the back foot, and after some uncharacteristic poor defending find themselves 2-1 behind only nine minutes after the restart.
• A triple substitution from Robinson fires some energy into the lethargic looking Paisley men, and one of these replacements, Keanu Baccus, fires home a fine low shot from the angle of the box to level the scores with 14 minutes remaining. Thierry Small was also one of these substitutes, making his second debut for the club.
• With Saints back in the ascendancy and looking to win the match, Hibs retake the lead on the break following more slack defending in the 80th minute and finish it off deep into injury time when Martin Boyle completes a late double for the Hibees.
