Lee Johnson hailed his last-ditch heroes and reckons it shows that Hibs aren’t a team or club in crisis. The new manager got off to winning ways in the Premiership thanks to sub Josh Campbell’s last-minute winner at Perth - much to the delight of the 3,000 plus Hibees support.

The pressure had been on Hibs after they failed to get through their Premier Sports Cup group and their exit was sealed after an administrative blunder saw them kicked out for fielding the suspended Rocky Bushiri.

A proud Johnson said: “We’ve got to go through a lot. We’re a brand new team, a brand new manager, new coaching staff. We’ve got to build resilience up.

It was nice at the end, it was like a little mosh pit at the end. Everybody was buzzing, the fans were buzzing. They stuck with us which was good.
