Hibernian leapfrogged Aberdeen into third spot in the Scottish Premiership after halting their four-match winless run with a hard-fought 2-0 triumph over Kilmarnock. Killie, who have now lost six of their last nine games, struck the post through Nicke Kabamba as they sought to respond. Kilmarnock arrived in Edinburgh without key duo Rory McKenzie and Kirk Broadfoot, who missed out through injury. Hibs dominated the possession in the opening exchanges, taking just 90 seconds to sting the palms of visiting goalkeeper Danny Rogers courtesy of a Paul McGinn drive. Rogers made his third good save of the afternoon when he blocked Martin Boyle’s point-blank header.
