Goal scorer Nicky Cadden was left gutted after Hibs fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to St Mirren at Easter Road.
A first half double from Conor McMenamin gave Hibs a mountain to climb at the break and the supporters made their frustration known.
Martin Boyle missed a penalty just after the hour mark, before Nicky Cadden scored from the spot in added time.
It looked as though Hibs had rescued a point, when Cadden found the back of the net in the sixth minute of added time – but the goal was correctly chalked off for offside after a VAR review.
Speaking to Hibs TV after the match, Cadden shared his disappointment on the result.
“It is extremely tough to take, we know that wasn’t good enough from our perspective. The Gaffer doesn’t deserve that.
“We had a mountain to climb at half-time, and we were a lot better in the second half.
“But ultimately, that wasn’t good enough – we need to be winning these games at home.
“I thought I had scored a second at the end there, but it looks like it might have hit Gayle. It’s just unlucky at the end of day, and it’s these fine margins that are costing us. We need to try and regroup and take it from there.
“I know it’s hard to say at the moment, but we need to stick together as a team – be there for the boys and be there for the Manager because he doesn’t deserve this.”
