00:00Well, Roy Wood and Wizard playing in the background, all Christmas cheer here in the last game
00:09before the festivities at Easter Road as Hibs win 3-1. An absolutely mental game as you
00:15would expect from Hibs this season. And nothing more surprising perhaps than L.E.U.N. emerging
00:22as the absolute hero standout, leaving the pitch to a proper ovation, applauding all
00:30four sides of the ground. It seems like a very short time ago he was having to be held
00:35back by teammates, confronting fans, having a go and seemed to be bristling and chippy
00:41and always looking for an argument. You know, Nicky Cadner already missed a penalty when
00:49L.E.U.N. stepped up today and you're thinking, if he misses this one, given how everything
00:54he's been through this year, everything he's been through, with the injury and not getting
00:58the transfer, abuse he's been getting, if he misses this one, this could be horrible
01:02for him. So nerves of steel. Cahoney's the size of cannonballs to step up there and smack
01:10the ball, keeper goes the right way, in off the post. That's a brilliant penalty, absolutely
01:15nerveless. And then, to have the finishing touch deep into eight minutes of injury time,
01:22to do that brilliant roll over the defender where sometimes you get a foul, sometimes
01:26you get a foul given against you, gets away with it, gets clear and sets up Josh Campbell
01:32to make it 3-1. The Hibs probably needed that third goal because it was a wee bit frantic
01:36and hectic. But overall, Gray's men go above Ross County, they're off the bottom of the
01:43league and come from a goal behind to do it. I don't think it's just Roy Wood and Wizard
01:50who are in a festive mood tonight, it'll be everyone involved in the Hibs.
