Mounting pressure on Montgomery

A 13th defeat in 37 matches as Hibernian manager for Nick Montgomery.

The statistic is one thing but the manner of today’s loss will be particularly worrying for those at Easter Road.

Aberdeen climb two places to seventh, overtaking both Motherwell and Hibernian with today’s big win.

Remember the league has split in two, which is why Dundee are sixth, despite having fewer points than the three sides beneath them.

Interim manager Peter Leven said pre-match he wanted Aberdeen to finish as high as possible and they are on course to do so with two games left.

Easily one of Aberdeen’s best performances of the season and the players go to their travelling fans to show their appreciation.

Hibs players on the other hand, trudge off after a sobering afternoon.

If Aberdeen wanted a strong end to the season, they’re certainly getting one.

Leighton Clarkson, Dante Polvara, Bojan Miovski and teenager Fletcher Boyd with the goals and interim manager Peter Leven’s side have won all three of their post-split fixtures so far.

A pretty woeful day for Hibernian. They started well enough but faded dramatically after falling behind. It’s successive defeats for Nick Montgomery’s side and the boos rang out at full-time.
