Kuhn opened the scoring in just the third minute after Hibs goalkeeper Josef Bursik had palmed a Kyogo Furuhashi shot to the feet of James Forrest.

McGregor, who this week announced his retirement from international football, received the ball from Kuhn and whipped an unstoppable shot beyond Bursik from fully 25 yards out.
