On Saturday evening, Hibernian secured a hard-fought 3-1 victory at home to St Johnstone, which was enough to consolidate their mid-table position in the Scottish Premiership. The match saw both teams playing with great intensity and passion throughout the entire ninety minutes.

The game began with both sides looking to establish themselves early on, but it wasn't until the 22nd minute that the deadlock was broken when a well-taken goal from Scott Brown gave Hibernian the lead. From then on, the visitors looked to pressurise the St Johnstone defense, and they were rewarded with another goal just five minutes later when a well-worked counterattack resulted in a header from Jonny Hayes.

St Johnstone tried to respond with some attacking play of their own, but Hibernian's defense remained solid and they managed to hold out for the rest of the half. In the second half, Hibernian continued to apply pressure on the St Johnstone defense, and they finally broke through in the 65th minute when a free-kick from Jamie Masson found its way into the net.

With the scoreline now 2-1 in favor of Hibernian, the visitors continued to push forward, and they added a third goal in the 77th minute when a well-executed counterattack saw Ryan Kent finish off the move. This goal proved to be the decisive moment as Hibernian held onto their lead until the final whistle.

Overall, this was a hard-fought victory for Hibernian, who have now consolidated their mid-table position in the Scottish Premiership. With only two games remaining in the season, they will need to focus on securing a top-half finish if they want to avoid relegation. However, with a strong showing against Hearts next week, there is still hope for Hibs to make a strong playoff run.
