Francis Dickoh scored a late winner for Hibernian as they beat St Mirren 1-0 to move them 11 points clear off the bottom ranks of the SPL.

The Ghana defender headed in from close range from an 87th-minute corner to leave St Mirren firmly in the relegation bracket.

Moments before the match winner, Dickoh had a powerful low strike from 10 yards blocked by the diving Mirren goalkeeper, Paul Gallacher.
