Having recently joined the club from Hull City at the tail end of July, goalkeeper Mark Oxley got his six-month loan stint at Hibernian off to a rollicking start in the Scottish Championship on Sunday afternoon by scoring a goal on his league debut!

Hibs beat Livingston 2-1 on the opening day of the season at Easter Road, with Oxley scoring what proved to be the winning goal with a mighty pitch-long wallop that somehow evaded the grasp of his counterpart at the other end of the pitch.

A 'keeper scoring on his debut? That must surely be a first?
