Hibs point gained ensure they maintained a 10-point lead at the top of the Scottish Championship after the goalless meeting at home with Morton, whose point moved them above Falkirk to second in the table. Hibs, unbeaten in the league at Easter Road since September 2016, had numerous chances to break the deadlock. John McGinn and later Brian Graham went close with headers before Jason Cummings and Darren McGregor were denied by goalkeeper Derek Gaston. Morton's main threat came via a long-range effort from Ross Forbes. As they game was in added time Morton's Kudus Oyenuga and Hibs' Darren McGregor were sent off  and managers Neil Lennon and Jim Duffy were sent to the stand. Oyenuga took out Jordan Foster and McGregor made his feelings plain before both managers and benches exchanged views.
