Scottish Cup fever prompts the following :greengrin
It’s a well known and quite painful fact that Hibs have not won the Scottish Cup since 1902 but whilst that win is obviously one to celebrate the calendar year of 1902 held a few more goodies too!
11 January brought a 1st round Scottish Cup win over Clyde at Easter Road with the goals in a 2-0 win coming from Billy McCartney and Johnny Divers
25 January brought a 2nd round Scottish Cup win away to Port Glasgow Athletic. Goals from Andy McGeachan (2), Bobby Atherton, Paddy Callaghan and Johnny Divers took us through in a 5-1 win.
22 February saw Hibs at Hampden facing Queens Park in the 3rd round of the Scottish Cup and marching on after a 7-1 win with goals from Andy McGeachan (3) and Johnny Divers getting (2). No note of the other scorers but I suspect I know a man that has and I’m hoping he’ll add the detail to this thread!
22 March was semi final day of the Scottish Cup and Hibs beat Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox with goals by Johnny Divers and Billy McCartney
26 April was the day of the Scottish Cup Final with Hibs beating Celtic 1-0 at Parkhead thanks to Andy McGeachan immortalising himself in Hibernian folklore
17 May witnessed Hibs beating Rangers 1-0 away in the 1st round of the Glasgow Charity Cup with Bobby Atherton the scorer
19 May in the semi final of the Rosebery Cup, Hibs beat St Bernards 4-2
24 May in the Final of the Rosebery Cup, Hibs beat Hearts 1-0 and it’s that man McGeachen again
27 May Hibs beat Morton 3-0 in the semi final of the Glasgow Charity Cup
31 May Hibs beat Celtic 6-2 in the Final of the Glasgow Charity Cup (that’s three trophies so far)
29 September Hibs go to Ibrox and thrash Rangers 5-2 in the League. Bobby Atherton (2), Davy Reid (2) and Billy McCartney inflicting the damage
20 December Hibs win 2-0 away at Partick Thistle and thereby lift the League title with goals from Paddy Callaghan and Billy McCartney
PS: In January 1903 Hibs went to Parkhead and won 4-0 with goals by Paddy Callaghan, Billy McCartney, Davy Reid and Jimmy Buchan. We didn't need the points but took them anyway :greengrin
