The Hibs couldn't celebrate Craig Gilbert's 300th competitive game as manager with a victory, but over the piece a share of the spoils was probably a fair result.

Both teams were guilty of being shot-shy but after 40 minutes, Sean Fergus' well struck volley gave the visitors the lead.

The second-half was similar to the first in as much as neither 'keeper was called on too much however Scone's Josh Gorton played a big part in the Hibs' equaliser as it was he who brought down Ewan Henderson to allow Shaun Keatings to equalise from the spot in the 76th minute.
