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 65 and lost only 18 of the 107 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was two seasons ago, in February 2005, with Hibernian running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
