What the managers said …
Hibernian boss David Gray He said: “Great performance, fantastic result. Get four goals in the premiere is very difficult, but also a pleasure from a clean leaf.
“The level of consistency, the level of performance and effort I get from players every day in training and games is now incredible, and this is a reflection of 17 games undefeated, an incredible success.
“We are talking about it (recording), but at the same time we were a lot of short -term goals this season were a lot because of the nature of the season and where we found ourselves where we are now.
“Small incentives to try to change history in a positive way, it is probably a quote that I used a lot this season, but we managed to do it several times and today it was another opportunity to do it.
“The challenge for us is that if we constantly win, no one can catch us.
“I still say that to players all the time, and if it is always happening, the run will continue.
“It is a real coherence from staff to players, to fans, forces above, everyone is in a real good place, but we are now committed to ensure that we end up as strong as we can.”

“There’s a lot of frustration and disappointment.
“The team that was as good as we were in our last four league accessories, beat St Mirren, defeated Dundee United, had a positive result against the guards and a draw against St Johnstone, this team never appeared in the first half.
“Now, whether it was HIBS reputation or anything, but we certainly dealt with it in half -time.
“I thought that when we went out in the second half we were a better team. I thought we looked like a team that would get another goal.
“That’s the team I want to see is the bravery I want to see. But then the game can flow and leave us as we did in the second, third and fourth goals, we have to take the real responsibility for it.
“It has happened too many times. So it is a real disappointment.”
