Hibs dominated proceedings from the start and Killen had a goal ruled out for offside and Rob Jones saw a point-blank header superbly saved by Dorus De Vries.

Michael Stewart smashed a shot against the crossbar in the second half before Hibs doubled their lead on 62 minutes with Killen finishing off Sproule's neat approach play.
Benjelloun added a third a minute from time with a clinical finish from 12 yards.
