1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Hibernian, who have the most conceded goals (16) in Premiership, have to build on here at Easter Road Stadium in the Premiership.

Hibernian faced defeat in their previous match, away at Rangers (0-4). The first loss after collecting points in five league games.
