Milligan and fellow Socceroo Jamie Maclaren both came off the bench in the 71st minute against Kilmarnock, with the score then locked at 2-2.

It proved a telling double substitution from manager Neil Lennon.

In the 78th minute Maclaren won a penalty.

Flo Kamberi stepped up and converted it, giving Hibs a 3-2 victory.

The result sees them move into fifth place in the Scottish Premiership, seven points behind league leaders and bitter rivals Hearts.

Milligan signed for the Edinburgh club in August.
