Not surprised to see him doing well, very good player.

[hfc rd]

Well done our Scandinavian cup winning legend 🏆👍🏾

[Craig_HFC]

The coolest man on the planet.

[Northernhibee]

He was very good in his cameo in the final. Gave them nothing.

[MyJo]

Nice one Niklas, we're on our way to join you :aok:

[worcesterhibby]

was disappointed that we never kept him on.

[SquashedFrogg]

Really liked him.... Well done big man!

[Billy Whizz]

was disappointed that we never kept him on.

Might see him at ER next July

[StevieCowan]

Available to come to Hibs on loan then?

[Billy Whizz]

No, might draw them in the Europa League😄

[1van Sprou7e]

Same, great defender and also great bombing up the wing as seen at tynie

Would be a great player to have back in the squad

[Leithenhibby]

The coolest man on the planet.

:agree:

Bromance, is alive and kicking:wink:

In the changing rooms after the final when everyone else was having beer this man was drinking his revovery shake😂. What a man. Hope he does well.

[SirDavidsNapper]

His goal against Sevco was a peach. Really liked him.

[bigwheel]

I'm guessing it was Graham MAthie and his team who found him...top quality loan..what a difference our recruitment dept has made in recent years ..

Strolling into the changing room before a cup final browsing the match programme like he's on the first day of his holidays. Cool as.

[Swedish hibee]

Met him after a game over here. We talked about Hibs. Nice man, but now playing for a crap team!!!!!!

[Fergos]

The Gunnar fellae.

Great decoy run for SCGs winning Scottish cup final winning goal......he played his part.

Good luck to him. Wish him all the very best.

Really good player and disappointed we never kept him. He was a massive part of the turnaround at Tynecastle. His covering to make the challenge that hit our bar just after we scored was excellent defending and he gave us a real threat down the right.

Decent player but if we had kept him it would have just meant that we would have likely lost Porteous. Would he have displaced Hanlon, Ambrose, McGregor, Fontaine, and if we had kept him its unlikely we would have signed Ambrose so for me I wish him well but would rather have what we have.

Did we not play him on the right? None of the players above play in that position.

Might be wrong.

He came in as cover for Gray at right back, but played a number of positions in his short time with us, with a happy conclusion

How are Gais getting on? Lived in goteborg for a year and attended a Derby however I was in IFK's section with the then misses.

Gais reminded me so much of the hibs after that game I always hoped they'd do well. I see there in the lower tier now but are they likely to get back up anytime soon?

I always saw him as being the right hand side of a back 3 but even at right back he wasn’t better than Gray and subsequently Whittaker.

Versatile. Height of a centre half but athleticism for full back. All the attributes to be successful.

10 centimetres lower and he would have been an all-time Hearts hero! :wink::greengrin

[greenlex]

His debut at Raith had me thinking he was no better than what we had at the time. (And let go out in loan) He settled in well and we saw a player there alright.

[Bishop Hibee]

Good player and a nice guy. I met him the week before the cup final. He was obviously enjoying his time with Hibs and came across very well. Cup winning hero.

[monktonharp]

was recently watching the final again, and thinking of him. wish he was here! great versatile player

[NAE NOOKIE]

Certainly looked a player and did a job for us. I have to admit I was surprised when he went home, I would have thought Hibs were a better bet for advancing his career than his parent club.

He will always be a cup winning hero though so its nice to see him doing well, but I cant help thinking in the years to come when folk are asked to name the 2016 cup winning team he will be the one they stumble on ...... 'damn, what the hell was the guys name again? ... I can see him now, tall guy came from ... Sweden I think it was' :greengrin

[Future17]

Djurgarden into Swedish Cup final thanks to a 2-0 win today.

Niklas didn't start but came on during the first half. They play Malmo in the final so will be a tough game.

Although, he was an unused sub.

And it initially looked like he was coming on to replace the man now known as Sir David Gray!
Imagine how different things could have unfolded....

Wish nothing but the best to the big guy. In the same vein as most over the last 3/4 years that really "got" Hibs

"What a moment this is, It's Liam Henderson to deliver.....

Niklas Gunnarsson has scored, the big Norwegian, Hibs are standing on the brink of history, after 114 years they've almost done it, they've almost won the Scottish Cup"

Or something like that :wink:

[monarch]

Another Hibs connection. His club Djurgardens were our second round opponents during our glorious European Cup run in season 1955-56 and yes we beat them, albeit that their home leg was played at Partick Thistle's ground due to the vagaries of the Swedish weather.

[Hermit Crab]

We should have kept him!

[lyonhibs]

Made a crucial sliding tackle towards the end that had my arsecheeks twitching like a mole's nose.

Another vital player on that day of days.

That's excellent knowledge indeed :agree:

[ian cruise]

I think we tried but he wanted to go back to Norway.

[SChibs]

I think we tried but he wanted to go back to Norway.

He couldn't be guaranteed first team football so he didn't want to stay for that reason I think

[NZ Green]

Did he not header one off of the line in the dying minutes of the 2-2 game against Hearts? Can't remember what game it was.

He put one on to the bar when trying to tackle. The resulting corner lead to kt clearing it off the line.

Just imagine if that had gone in. How different would our lives have been? Not often we Get the breaks, biggest one ever.

Great to see them in the cup final. Sets up a derby with PaintedYourFence

[Swedish hibee]

I don't like them. But only want them to win cos bloody Malmo bet my team. And we all hate Malmo don't we!!!!!!!

Always a good pub quiz question-the first Glasgow ground to host a European Cup match.

[Jonnyboy]

Chris Dagnall will forever be a pub quiz conundrum too. Although, he was an unused sub.

The same Chris Dagnall that has more medals than Craig Levein .............. but then, who hasn't? :greengrin

[Future17]

Fantastic result for Djurgarden tonight - a 3-0 win v Malmo.

Niklas didn't start but came on at HT with the score 0-0. Djurgarden opened the scoring less than a minute into the second half so I think he changed the game! :-)

It's a psychological boost ahead of playing Malmo in the cup final next month, although they are actually due to play each other again before that.

Thats a very impressive result, Malmo are current Allsvenskan champions are they not? Djurgarden might fancy a shot at the title this year, certainly a sound start to their campaign.

[Andy JR]

Loved his neat goal against the Gers.

Congratulations to Niklas, whose Djurgarden side just won the Swedish Cup by beating Malmo (3-0 again).

Niklas was a 82nd minute sub, which is around the time he likes to appear in cup wins!

Even though I don't like them, I'm happy they won as malmo bet my team in the semi. And I never grudge an ex hibby a cup!

Did your team not win the cup last season? You can't get too greedy! :-)

Yeah, credit where credit is due the much maligned Kevin Thomson in his third spell with the club played his small part in our Cup success clearing off the line against the Hearts and helping to keep up morale behind the scenes with his big game experience in the cup run in. An excellent football player and very much one of our own.A true HIBS legend.
