Hibs’ defender Darren McGregor admitted that he was disappointed not to take all three points from Saturday’s game against Falkirk at Easter Road.
Hibs totally dominated possession following the 23rd minute sending off of former Hibs’ midfielder Tom Taiwo but it was the Bairns who opened the scoring against the run od play in the 77th minute.
Fellow defender Paul Hanlon equalised five minutes later and the game ended all square, leaving Hibs one point clear at the top of the table, ahead of on-form Dundee United.
Hibs face Queen of the South at Easter Road next Saturday whilst United travel to Greenock to face Morton who have been on a good run of form lately, winning five and drawing one of their last six games.
United’ then host Hibs for a top of the table clash at Tannadice on 3rd December.
Speaking after the game to Hibernian TV, Darren said: “Every time we come up against Falkirk they’re always very difficult to break down, they get behind the ball, they’re physical and play off of set-pieces and throw-ins.
“We had numerous chances to get one or two up and never took them so paid the price. Thankfully, Paul managed to get his head on one and level it up.
“From a positive perspective we’re still top of the league, although we are still bitterly disappointed because we felt we had done enough to win the game.”
