Hibernian reduced the gap on Scottish Championship leaders Hearts to three points with a 2-1 win over Livingston this evening.

Jason Cummings gave Hibs the lead shortly after the half-hour mark when he latched on to Liam Craig's through-ball before finishing calmly.

Cummings almost made it 2-0 two minutes later, but this time his effort was cleared off the line as the home side pressed to extend their advantage before the break.

Danny Mullen was almost in for Livingston when Paul Hanlon misjudged a high ball, but the defender did well to make amends to snuff out the chance on 73 minutes.

Ibra Sekajja thought he had rescued it for Livingston with two minutes of normal time remaining when he rifled home from close range.

However, Hibs regained their lead almost instantly when Franck Dja Djedje headed home Lewis Stevenson's delivery.
