Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 19 Oct, 13:19 · Archive

Hibernian lost 2-1 to Falkirk, leaving them bottom of the Scottish Premiership under new manager Marink Reedijk.

Hibernian lost 2-1 to Falkirk at Easter Road, with the home side gifting their opponents a two-goal lead. Falkirk striker Jacob Murrell scored twice in the match. The defeat is the second in as many weeks for new manager Marink Reedijk, who arrived from Beveren in Belgium's second tier after going unbeaten there last season.

Hibernian are now bottom of the Scottish Premiership with nine games played. They have taken just one point from the last 24 available at Easter Road, with their last home league win coming against Kilmarnock on 4 April, over six months ago. The club drew a crowd of nearly 18,000 supporters on Saturday.

Reedijk arrived speaking enthusiastically about making his Easter Road debut, but has found the team toothless in attack and unable to keep clean sheets. The Dutchman's reputation is for getting teams to play attacking football, though observers note this will take time. Meanwhile, the team continues to make defensive errors in big moments.
