BBC REPORT:

Hibernian sealed their return to the Premiership, beating Queen of the South to wrap up the Championship title.

Defender Darren McGregor looped home a header then flicked in a Jason Cummings corner before the interval.

Cummings was the supplier again as captain David Gray squeezed in a header early in the second half.

With nearest challengers Falkirk drawing at home to St Mirren, Neil Lennon’s men cannot be caught with three games remaining.

A crowd of 17,056 turned up for the Easter Road party, ending a period of three seasons in the second tier for the Edinburgh club.
