Hibernian – Shkendija

Hibernian edged Shkendija 2‑1 at Easter Road, a narrow victory that lifted the home side to 32nd place with eight points from eight games, having scored eight and conceded seven. The win was barely enough to keep them above the relegation zone, while Shkendija moved to 19th with ten points, their three wins and single draw offset by a goal deficit of six. The result also tipped the head‑to‑head balance in Hibernian’s favour, as they now hold one win and one draw against the Macedonian visitors in this season’s meetings. Both clubs remain locked in a tight mid‑table scramble, each looking to convert the slim margins into more decisive runs of form.
