The draw with Raith Rovers was “two points dropped” according to Dundee United boss Ray McKinnon.
The hosts were 2-0 up at Tannadice but let their lead slip against McKinnon’s old club.
The result leaves Raith second in the Championship, two points behind 100% Hibs.
Worryingly for United, they are already seven points adrift of Neil Lennon’s men.
McKinnon said: “I would have to say that was two points dropped.
“From 2-0 up, to draw the game is disappointing for us. When you are in that position you should certainly win the game.
“We should have just kept the steam up on them. We didn’t and a little bit of slackness crept in and it cost us a goal.
“I thought we were absolutely dominant for 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the second half was pretty disappointing. We should be battling harder than that then another wonder strike grabs them a point.”
Rovers manager Gary Locke said: “I was disappointed with the first 20 minutes because we looked like a team that didn’t believe in ourselves. We gave them too much respect and sat off them.
“We made a tactical change and it got us back into the game. A great strike by Jordan Thompson but for a good hour of the game I thought we were outstanding.”
