History of the Hibernian v St. Mirren fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 70 and lost only 19 of the 113 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2010, the The Hibees carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
