Collins 2007/08 p11 w6 d3 l2 - lost the last two v Motherwell and St. Mirren. Completely fell away after that of course, eg 1-3 at Aberdeen with McCann at centre half.

Mowbray 2005/06 p11 w7 d1 l3 - drew opening day with Dunfermline, lost 0-4 at Tynecastle in the second game. Won a few games (including 3-0 at Ibrox) then lost 0-1 to Celtic and 1-2 to Inverness (both at home) after the two games against Dnipro. They had 4-5 wins after that to get close to the top but fell away around Christmas onwards.

NB Hibs didn't go clear at the top under Collins, it was temporary as Celtic played on the Sunday v Gretna and won 2-1. Killen scored the winner in the last minute.

That wasn't Mowbray's first season.

Mowbray's opening season was 04/05 and started with a defeat at home to Killie,

Question was who had the best start to a season, not their first season.

Beating - and teaching a lesson to - Rangers at Ibrox under Collins remains one of my favourite league away days ever!! :agree:
