New boys win it for Hibs

12 February 2011 19:30
New Hibernian signings Akpo Sodje and Victor Palsson were on target as Colin Calderwood's side notched back-to-back wins in a heated clash with Kilmarnock after going down to 10 men. In an absorbing encounter, Sodje opened the scoring and Palsson added a second from the penalty spot. The visitors then found the net from 12 yards through Jamie Hamill as Francis Dickoh was sent off for a professional foul. Referee Steve Conroy then struggled to keep control in the dying stages when both benches and just about every player became involved in a melee. The 2-1 result sees Hibs move eight points clear of basement side Hamilton in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
