The Easter Road side enjoyed a 3-0 win over struggling Livingston in their pursuit of a top six finish.
Nick Montgomery hailed natural born goalscorer Adam Le Fondre after the veteran inspired Hibs to their biggest league win of the season in his first start since October.
“I’m probably a bit disappointed we didn’t get a couple more goals. But we have to be pleased with the result. We punished Livingston in the first half with some really good football, showing real composure and control in and around the box. I thought Adam Le Fondre today, again, with a goal and assist, showed his value.
“He was a big loss, but Adam’s a top professional. His movement, and the way he brings others into play is the reason why he’s had the career he’s had. You need to appreciate his movement. He’s an out-and-out goalscorer, I’ve a lot of time for Adam, I’ve known him a long time. Hibs now sit two points ahead of Dundee in sixth spot with the Dens men hosting Rangers tomorrow afternoon. And Montgomery said: “It’s always nice to be in the top six. But we can’t get carried away with what could be, what should be.
