Hibernian manager Nick Montgomery admitted he was frustrated at his side’s failure to close out victory at St Mirren.
Hibs looked set for a first win in seven games only to concede a stoppage-time equaliser to Lewis Jamieson to draw 2-2.
Goals from Josh Campbell and Joe Newell – either side of Mark O’Hara’s penalty – had Hibs in control before Jamieson struck with his first ever St Mirren goal.
Montgomery said: “It’s another game we could have got three points out of, but we only have ourselves to blame.
“We can talk about managing the game and finishing it off and I thought we had plenty of chances to do that even in the first half. We were outstanding.
“But the equaliser is of our own doing. There’s a minute to go and we just need to see the game out.
“We had a breakaway and we somehow turn the ball over and the next thing it’s in the back of the net.
“It’s another game where we have led away from home, and it might be a good point come the end of the season but right now it’s a difficult one to take.”
Montgomery felt that St Mirren defender Richard Taylor had dived for the penalty that was converted by O’Hara.
He added: “I’m not here to talk about refereeing or VAR, but if that’s a penalty there are going to be 10 penalties in every game. I’m a little bit frustrated by that one as well.
“Look, the ball wasn’t even going in that area. I’ve watched it and the lad has got in front of Jordan Obita – but he’s six-foot-five and he’s just dropped to the floor with no contact.
“If players want to just throw themselves on the floor and they’re going to go and look at VAR, there are going to be a lot of stoppages.”
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson admitted his team had been defensively sloppy but felt they had created enough chances to win the match.
He said: “I thought it was a point we thoroughly deserved. We weren’t as defensively good as we could have been but our forward play and some of our movement and deliveries were excellent.
“I thought we were calm, we kept the ball, and we moved it well and got balls into the box. We should have been level before we were, we could have potentially been going for a winning goal.
“It wasn’t to be, but overall I think it’s one of our best performances this season, the way we played, the way we battled, the response we showed to adversity was excellent. I’m actually disappointed that we didn’t win the game.”
