Alasana Manneh endured a nightmare start to his Hibernian career, receiving a red card just 13 minutes after coming on, as David Gray’s side extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches with a goalless draw against St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.

The Gambian midfielder, a product of Barcelona’s famed youth academy, entered the pitch in the 70th minute but was booked almost immediately for a trip. His debut went from bad to worse when another reckless challenge saw him pick up a second yellow.

Despite being reduced to 10 men, Hibs held firm to secure a point, though they missed the opportunity to climb to fourth. Meanwhile, St Mirren moved up to sixth, edging ahead of Kilmarnock on goal difference.

Both teams had opportunities, but goalkeepers Zach Hemming and Jordan Smith pulled off crucial second-half saves to ensure the match remained goalless.

Hibs thought they had a penalty when referee Ross Hardie pointed to the spot for a handball against Killian Phillips. However, a review overturned the decision, with replays clearly showing the ball had struck the midfielder’s face instead.
