Jamie McGrath opened the scoring in the third minute with a right-footed finish into the top left, setting Hibernian up to beat Hearts 3-2 at Easter Road.

He timed his run to meet Nicky Cadden's cross and guided it beyond Alexander Schwolow (3.).

On the stroke of half time he then delivered a precise cross for Josh Campbell to glance home (45.).

He ended with one goal and one assist, two key passes and six possessions won, plus four clearances, mixing threat with graft for the Hibees.

Finding space between the lines, his movement kept Hibs moving forward in transitions and forced the Jambos to retreat whenever they tried to press.

Hibs host Aberdeen next in the Premiership. Hearts welcome Livingston.
