Jason Cummings knocked in the only goal at Easter Road

Jason Cummings was the hero for Hibernian as the Easter Road side began life without Scott Allan.

The striker came off the bench to give the hosts their first Championship win of the season, converting a cross from David Gray on 58 minutes.

Liam Fontaine nodded over a good early chance for the hosts and Gray had a header well saved by Derek Gaston.

Morton's best chance fell to Stefan McCluskey but he could not beat home keeper Mark Oxley when one-on-one.

With midfielder Allan joining Celtic on Friday, Liam Henderson was among the home substitutes after arriving on loan as part of the deal.

And the teenager did well to set up a shooting chance for Lewis Stevenson late in the game, although the full-back could not hit the target.

Stevenson had done better earlier on, crossing for Cummings to head straight at Gaston shortly after scoring.

The hosts were in command for long spells and would not regret those missed opportunities as they picked up three points.
