Hibernian head coach David Gray tells Premier Sports: “I think in the end it’s a good point because we were by no means at our best at all.
“No real quality in the game, but we did find a way to not get beat, as we played a lot better before and lost games.
“I dont think we deserved to get anything more than a point out of the game.”
On Alasana Manneh’s sending off, he adds: “The big frustration is nothing can be done, as it’s two yellows.
“Listen, there were a lot of decisions in the game I didn’t agree with but I’m not going to stand here and blame the referee for the outcome of the game because I don’t think we did enough.
“We didn’t do enough to go and win the game.”

St. Mirren have failed to score in 11 of their 26 games, this is more often than any other team in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Hibs, meanwhile, failed to attempt a shot on target in this game, it’s the first time they failed to attempt a shot on target in a game in the top flight since facing Celtic on 11th August 2024.
A scrappy game indeed.
After this weekend’s six games, here’s how the Scottish Premiership looks now.
Earlier today, Rangers were victorious over Hearts at Tynecastle.

Cast your minds back to how maligned Hibs were just a few months ago for their defending.
That’s now three clean sheets on the spin for David Gray’s side.
A little bit of time and patience can do wonders. Granted, it’s easy to say that in hindsight aye…

Referee Ross Hardie initially awarded Hibs a penalty but overturned it after consulting the VAR monitor.
He then sent off Alasana Manneh following two cautions.
Jordan Smith’s double save was crucial too, the second of which was a brilliant stop.

To be fair to the referee he promptly changes his mind and play resumes with a drop ball.

Alasana Manneh was sent off just 13 minutes into his Hibernian debut as David Gray’s side made it 12 games unbeaten with a goalless Scottish Premiership draw at St Mirren.
The Gambia midfielder, a graduate of the Barcelona youth academy, came on in the 70th minute, was booked a minute later for a trip, then saw yellow again for a reckless challenge.
The visitors held on with 10 men for a point but missed the chance to move fourth, while St Mirren jump to sixth, above Kilmarnock on goal difference.
There were chances for both sides, but goalkeepers Zach Hemming and Jordan Smith both produced excellent second-half saves to keep the game scoreless.
Hibs were awarded a penalty in the second half as referee Ross Hardie judged the ball to have struck Killian Phillips’ arm, but it was overturned on review as replays showed the ball clearly hit the midfielder in the face.
