- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hibernian FC and St. Johnstone FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lewis Miller made 208 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 53' Elie Youan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jair Tavares at the 53 minute mark.
- 58' St. Johnstone FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
