Maclaren, who almost bagged a brace in a strong display, struck in the 80th minute to seal a 2-0 win for Hibs over their bitter rivals in the Scottish Premier League on Friday.

Scotty Allan had put them ahead in the 59th minute before the Australian wrapped the game up.

Maclaren joined Hibs in January on loan from his German club SV Darmstadt 98.

The 24-year-old has scored two goals in six appearances for the club.

He had played just eight times for his German side before his loan move this season, after leaving Brisbane Roar, but failed to find the net.

This week the striker was named in the Australia squad to face Norway and Colombia.
