You could just see it developing.

St Mirren had opened up to build up their play, they lose it in midfield and Mulligan just steps on, doesn’t try and blast it.

Side-foots it in, nice finish.

A really, really good goal from a Hibs point of view.

Away day aficionados

St Mirren v Hibernian (17:45)

Only league leaders Hearts have earned more away points in the Scottish Premiership this season (13) than Hibernian (9), who have lost just one of six league fixtures on the road this term (W2 D3).

KMI panel rules St Mirren goal should have stood

Earlier this week...

Miguel Freckelton's disallowed goal in St Mirren's 2-2 draw with Hearts should have stood, according to the Scottish FA's key match incident panel.

St Mirren were 2-1 up in the game on 29 October when Freckleton added a third, but VAR intervened over an alleged impediment from captain Mark O'Hara on Hearts' Lawrence Shankland while in an offside position.

Referee Mathew MacDermid, who initially gave an on-field goal, reversed his decision after checking the footage.

All three of the KMI panel agreed the original decision should have stood.
