    Good luck to him.

    He was in the Hibs team that I can first remember properly watching as a young boy and was one of my heroes.

    Harper has had a lot to deal with in his life. I hope he overcomes his demons and does good things with his future.

    That volley at the dunbar end in the new year game was special. Brilliant goal.

    Ditto.

    On the other hand, he's responsible for a lifetime of me wanting braids. I'm sure I remember the club running a competition to get hair like his in the programme. Does anyone else remember that?

    Good luck to him. Albion Rovers have the lowest player budget in the SPFL and it's reckoned the reason they're bottom of league 2 is the calibre of the players rather than any deficiency in previous manager John Brogan, another ex Hibs player (briefly).

    His story is classic underclass. Has been fighting his whole life.
    I think this is one fight he can't win.
    I believe he has the job because experienced guys won't touch it with a barge pole.

    I think John Brogsn came from lower junior football and brought a lot of players from that level with him.

    Not sure if that’s the level they’re spending at or if he made the classic Jim Duffy mistake of going back to where he came from thinking players could make the jump, e.g Paul Tosh, Lee Power etc

    Maybe what the job needs is not an experienced guy but someone with a point to prove, nothing to lose, a scrapping mentality and a track record of winning fights against the odds for his entire career?

    I hope he's a rip roaring success.

    Great wee player, great guy.

    Good luck to Kevin. Some good moments for a guy that wasn't with us that long.

    I'd like to see him do well too.

    Always felt he was a little overrated, but I do recall the new year derby goal.

    Have that wee miniature HIBS figure of Kevin Harper with the big heid in my drinks cabinet every time I go to pour myself a drink it reminds me of that glorious volley against the Jambos on New Year’s Day always brings a smile to my face

    Delighted with his appointment, I live in Coatbridge and run the club's website and social media, so I am ecstatic!
    Will be interesting interviewing him tomorrow and trying not to talk completely about hibs😂
    He has some job on his hands, the team is build up of alloa u20s and juniors basically.
