The season, Hibernian became my team. If memory serves first match was the SC SF. Enjoying these daily posts. Looking forward to the coming years.

Against Rangers I believe, a nd it went to a replay.

David Ewing was a strange appointment, who never seemed comfortable with the managerial reins.

He did have admirers as a coach though.

One thing he did make his mark at was in the semi final against Rangers, when he told all and sundry..."Rangers are rubbish"

You can imagine how the media played with that comment!
