Hibs head coach David Gray told Premier Sports: “Delighted for Chris Cadden [to score] because it’s something he’s been wanting to add to his game.
“He’s had a few disappointments this season but he deserves it.
“It’s a massive, massive win. It’s been very fine margins for us recently. Tonight, it went for us.
“They’re very big moments in the game that went for us but all in all I thought we were excellent.
“You have to stand up to the physical challenge of St Mirren and we did that.
“I believe there’s a lot more to come from this group. Some of our performances this season have been of a high standard but we may have let ourselves down in certain moments.”
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: “We equalise, we go in front, it changes the game completely, so whether they’re onside or not you hope VAR’s got it right. Which would be a surprise to be fair.
“I haven’t seen anything back. I got told there was two sets of lines drawn for the first [disallowed] goal. One that looked like the ball hadn’t been played forward, which means he’s onside.
“Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. But if it is, I find it incredible.
“I can only control the things that we can control.
“I thought Hibs deserved to win because they kept delivering balls in the box, they kept winning second balls, which allowed them to express themselves. I didn’t think we did.”
