Hibernian Development Squad lose to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park

A young Hibernian Development Squad lost to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in the SPFL Development League last night.

The only goal of the game was scored by Killie’s Greg Taylor in the second half although there was little to choose between the two teams.

After the game Hibernian U20 Development Coach, Joe McBride told the club website: “I’m left disappointed with the result, as I didn’t think there much at all between the sides. We created better chances in the first half than they did, not so much in the second but if you don’t take your opportunities, you’re always liable to lose one.

“I was upset that we couldn’t put them under more pressure in the second half. We let them dictate the play and they were probably more streetwise than us. We have to be more ruthless in all aspects of the game.”

Hibernian Development Squad: Brennan; Smith, Dunsmore, Waugh, Campbell; Watson, Breen (Murray, 62), Stirling (Scott, 55), Sinclair (O’Connor, 65); Shaw, Peters.
