Abbie Ferguson was at the heart of Hibs' win over Thistle
A stand-out showing for Abbie Ferguson against former side Partick Thistle gave Hibernian a comfortable win at Lochburn Park.
Ferguson, who spent a season on loan with Thistle from Celtic before joining Hibs last summer, put the hosts to the sword with a goal and an assist in a one-sided encounter.
A mazy run down the right wing 10 minutes into the first half ended with Ferguson cutting inside into the Thistle box and scoring with a powerful finish past Jeni Currie.
Hibs could have been three up before the break, with a solid penalty shout for a foul on Ferguson turned down before Kathleen McGovern completed nice build-up play to slot home, but the offside flag was up.
McGovern's cheeky floated attempt almost beat Currie early into the second half, before some neat passing play ended with Ferguson finding space and laying the ball into the path of Tegan Bowie, who drilled her shot home.
Thistle started to find some impetus as the second half progressed, with neat midfield play freeing Emma Lawton to cut in from the right and fire home just before the hour mark.
Imogen Longcake hit a powerful long-range effort straight into the arms of Hibs keeper Noa Schumacher as Thistle fell short of finding an equaliser.
