Hibs Moroccan striker Abdessalam Benjelloun(Benji) gave boss Tony Mowbray something to think last night, with an impressive performance for Hibs reserves against Kilmarnock.

Hibs drew the match 2-2 and had quite a strong line up out.

Included in the starting line-up was Stephen Glass, Ivan Sproule, Zibi Malkowski, Jamie McCluskey, Oumar Konde and "Benji".

Hibs took the lead through McCluskey with a wonderful individual goal after running 20 yards unchallenged, then scoring from 18 yards out.

Kilmarnock then pulled level, just after the restart.

Hibs went back in front when Ivan Sproule forced his way down the wing before cutting a delightful back to Benji who smashed it past the goalkeeper from 12 yards to put Hibs back in the lead.

Hibs then withdrew Sproule and Benji, ahead of Saturday's trip upto
Inverness.

Kilmarnock pulled level again with 10 minutes to go.
