Queens see off Hibees
Written by author on March 2, 2016
Hibernian’s hopes of overhauling Championship leaders Rangers suffered a further blow with a third straight defeat away to Queen of the South.
They slip 14 points behind thanks to on-loan Rangers midfielder Andy Murdoch’s winner 11 minutes from time.
Queen of the South goalkeeper Robbie Thomson denied Jason Cummings, Anthony Stokes and John McGinn.
And, with 11 minutes to go, Murdoch found space inside the box and scored with a powerful shot.
With Rangers winning 2-0 at home to Raith Rovers, second-top Hibs look likely to have to settle for a place in the promotion play-offs.
Falkirk moved to within a point of Alan Stubbs’ side with their 0-0 draw away to St Mirren.
