Despite Pat Smith giving the visitors an 11th minute lead, the Hibs fought back to lead 3-1 at the interval courtesy of John Soutar's volley when he got on the end of Dean McMillan's cross, Daniel McNab with a terrific curling strike into the opposite corner of the net and a penalty from Andy McCallion after he had been brought down by Carnoustie 'keeper, Aaron Clark. Thornton's fourth goal came from Daniel McNab who began the second-half wearing the captain's armband with a Max Coleman strike from distance completing the scoring. More photos to follow.
Next up is 'the real deal' when the Hibs travel to take on Leith Athletic at Meadowbank Stadium for their debut game in the First Division.
