Hibs v Hamilton: Player ratings from nervy win over Accies at Easter Road

Hibernian held on to claim a 3-2 win over Hamilton Academical at Easter Road, despite a nervy finish.

A brace from Kevin Nisbet gave the men in green and white a commanding lead, which was added to by Paul Hanlon.

However Ross Callachan's penalty and a Ryan Porteous own goal made it a tense end to proceedings.

Here's how the players rated:

Marciano - 8
A good save from Ogkmopoe’s penalty, but not a lot he could do about Accies two goals.

McGinn - 6
An out of character display from the full back, who struggled with Ogkompoe’s physicality and gave away the first penalty.

Porteous - 6
Similar to McGinn, some good defensive work undone by giving away a silly spot kick.

Hanlon - 7
The better of the two centre halves, lead from the back well and got a goal.

Stevenson - 7
Quiet, studious, understated but solid performance from the legendary left back.

Gogic - 7
A robust presence in the middle of the pitch, but overrun when Newell went off.

Newell - 8
Delivery was excellent at times, but worrying to see him go off at the break.

Murphy - 7
The less dangerous of the two wide men, but had some nice touches.

Boyle - 8
Tormented the Accies back line at times with his pace and drove Hibs forward.

Nisbet - 9
Should have had a hattrick but can count it as a successful evening with two goals.

Doidge - 7
Should have been on target himself, one opportunity spurned in the first half, but denied by a phenomenal save in the second.

Hallberg - 7

Mallan - 5

Wright - 6
