Hibs’ striker Kevin Nisbet has been named as the SPFL player of the week following his outstanding performance and two goals in the club’s 3-2 victory over Hamilton Academical.
Nisbet gave Hibs the lead with a superbly struck free-kick from 25-yards then added a second with a tremendous header from Joe Newell’s cross to make the score 2-0.
Only fine goalkeeping from Hamilton’s Kyle Gourlay denied him another two goals.
Nisbet currently tops the SPFL goalscoring list with six.
Team mate Ofir Marciano who saved a penalty in the same match also made the team of the week which was selected by Craig Fowler from A View From the Terrace.
Former Hibs’ player Marvin Bartley who starred in Livingston’s 2-1 victory over Dundee United also made the XI.
The full teams is Ofir Marciano (Hibernian), James Tavernier (Rangers), Shane Duffy (Celtic), Jason Kerr (St Johnstone), Josh Reid (Ross County) Ryan Hedges (Aberdeen), Marvin Bartley (Livingston), Ethan Erhahon (St Mirren), Jonny Hayes (Aberdeen), Alan Forrest (Livingston), Kevin Nisbet (Hibernian)
