A young Hibernian Development Squad lost 3-0 to Kilmarnock at Ainslie Park this afternoon.
Ross Barbour opened the scoring in the 14th minute then an own goal by Ryan Donaldson made it 2-0 just before the break.
A 65th minute a header from ex Hearts’ striker Dale Carrick sealed the victory for the visitors.
After the game, Joe McBride, Hibs U20 Development Coach told the club website: “Sean (Brennan) hasn’t had a lot of saves to make which was a positive as the make-up of the two sides were different. We were very young and Kilmarnock had five first-team players in their squad, so we played slightly differently today and sat off the game a bit.
“I thought we done well, I just think we didn’t make the most of our opportunities when we did steal possession. We did hit the bar and the goalkeeper has made an unbelievable save and they scored from two set-plays and an own goal which is disappointing. The players need to start learning quickly that they can’t keep shipping goals.”
Hibernian Development Squad: Brennan, Dunsmore, Stirling, Waugh, Porteous, Scott (Breen, 66), Duthie (Smith, 52), Murray, Shaw, Watson, Insall. Unused substitute: Goodfellow.
