St. Mirren 0-3 Hibernian: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of St. Mirren 0-3 Hibernian in the Premiership on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Hibernian delivered a commanding performance to secure a 3-0 victory over St. Mirren at their home ground. The result was not entirely surprising given Hibernian’s recent form, which included a strong win against Livingston and a draw with the same team.

St. Mirren, on the other hand, have struggled, losing their last five matches, including this one. The defeat extended their poor run, and they were unable to find any rhythm or threat against a well-organised Hibs side.

Key moments in the game included goals from Josh Mulligan, Chris Cadden, and Martin Chaiwa, which showcased Hibs’ ability to capitalise on their opportunities. St. Mirren’s frustration was evident in four yellow cards, indicating a lack of discipline and perhaps reflecting their recent struggles. Hibs’ players, particularly those who scored, stood out, while St. Mirren’s inability to create any meaningful chances was a significant concern.

The statistics from the match reflect Hibernian’s dominance, with 54% possession compared to St. Mirren’s 46%. Hibs also had a slight edge in corners, with six to St. Mirren’s five, and a higher successful dribble percentage at 38% against St. Mirren’s 33%. These figures suggest that Hibs were more effective in maintaining control and creating opportunities.

St. Mirren’s four yellow cards compared to Hibs’ single booking indicate a more aggressive and perhaps frustrated approach from the home side. The lack of assists from St. Mirren, contrasted with Hibs’ three, further highlights the disparity in attacking threat and creativity between the two teams.

The game’s pivotal moments were the three goals scored by Hibernian. Josh Mulligan opened the scoring in the 24th minute, assisted by Jamie McGrath, setting the tone for the match. Chris Cadden doubled the lead in the 53rd minute, with Kieron Bowie providing the assist, further solidifying Hibs’ control.

The final nail in the coffin came in the 80th minute when Martin Chaiwa scored, assisted by Josh Campbell. These goals were the turning points, as St. Mirren failed to respond effectively, with their only notable actions being a series of yellow cards and substitutions.

St. Mirren lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Shamal George in goal and a back three of Grant Leadbitter, Richard King, and Miguel Freckleton. The midfield was packed with Jayden Richardson, Killian Phillips, Liam Donnelly, Keanu Baccus, and Declan John, while Dan N’Lundulu and Mikael Mandron led the attack. Despite the formation’s potential for solidity and width, St. Mirren struggled to create chances and were outplayed by Hibs.

Hibernian opted for a 3-1-4-2 formation, with Raphael Sallinger between the posts and a back three of Rocky Bushiri, Grant Hanley, and Jack Iredale. Dan Barlaser anchored the midfield, with Chris Cadden, Josh Mulligan, Jamie McGrath, and Nicky Cadden providing width and creativity. Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie spearheaded the attack. This setup allowed Hibs to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities, leading to their convincing victory.

Josh Mulligan of Hibernian was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance. He scored the opening goal in the 24th minute, setting the tone for Hibs’ victory. His contribution was crucial in breaking down St. Mirren’s defense and his overall play was instrumental in Hibs’ dominant display.
