Four-star Hibs outclass Dunfermline

10 July 2010 18:48
David Stephens scored on his first taste of action for Hibs as John Hughes' side began their pre-season campaign with a 4-0 win at Dunfermline.[LNB] Liam Miller and Derek Riordan were also on target as Hibs ran out convincing winners at East End Park as they prepare for their Europa League campaign, which kicks off on July 29.[LNB]Hibs, who handed goalkeeper Mark Brown and new Dutch midfielder Edwin de Graaf a start, began slowly but Andy Dowie turned Colin Nish's low cross into his own net midway through the first half.[LNB]Miller dived to head home after Riordan's 25-yard free-kick had hit the bar just before the break, and Riordan netted a rebound shortly after the restart when Chris Smith parried a powerful Anthony Stokes' drive into his path.[LNB]Smith, who signed from St Mirren this week, then palmed a Lewis Stevenson corner to the feet of Stephens in the 79th minute and the former Norwich defender made no mistake.[LNB]
