Robertson almost carved out the first opportunity in a quiet opening spell, but the Kilmarnock defence were alive to the threat and cleared.Robertson hit the back of the net again just before half-time but was adjudged to have handled as he controlled the ball and the strike was ruled out.It was Robertson who opened the scoring as he toe-poked David Wotherspoon's free-kick past Killie goalkeeper Cammy Bell at the back post from close range.The original fixture was abandoned with the score at 1-1 after Kilmarnock supporter James Haswell collapsed in the stands with a suspected heart attack and later died in hospital.The home side were struggling to make an impact on the match, with young left-winger Chris Johnston looking the only source of creativity.However, Lee Ashcroft marked his first start in a Kilmarnock jersey by equalising with a looping header.Killie finally created a clear chance when Rory McKenzie picked up on a pass from Sammy Clingan and took the ball on to his left foot before shooting over from 20 yards.Hibs opened the scoring when Scott Robertson prodded the ball into the net from close range to claim his first goal for the club.The home side created their best chance of the half when Johnston played Paul Heffernan through in the box, but the striker dallied on the ball and Hibs cleared.
