Great news for Mark,and raises Hibs profile on the world stage. It’s been confirmed that Boyle will get his debut tonight as well.

What channel?

[we are hibs]

What channel?

It will probably be on YouTube. Last Australia game was. 8:50 kick off

[B.H.F.C]

Good that MacLaren starts. He needs minutes on the pitch.

[Curried]

Its free live online in Australia to all at channel 10, but I'm not sure if this will be geoblocked to the UK.

Totally against the run of play.

Jambo-esq hoof ball over the top and the high line defence caught napping

But a good bottom corner finish

Jamie not getting much service up top

Upfront on his own i see, waste of time that.

Squirrel coming on

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Here comes Boyle with Maclaren making way

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Boyle gets the Aussie fans on their feet with a brilliant run at the defence and shot.

Deflected but from the resulting corner he put a header on target

Yeah, Scotland couldn’t have used a player like that...

[HibbyAndy]

1-1 4th minute of injury time !

[SouthMoroccoStu]

1-1 in the 93rd minute!!

Strong shot from outside the box

Keeper spills, Boyle goes in, keeper saves at his feet. Tap in for another Aussie lad

Ft 1-1

[Barman Stanton]

Thought Boyle did well. A great impact sub to have. Scotland have missed a trick there.

[EH54]

Boyle done well. Reacted quickly in the box for the goal. Think he will be a major player for them tbh. Milligan is class though, proper leader. Some tasty tackles. Body's just bounce off him.

[Curried]

Boyle's follow-up saves the day for Oz. :thumbsup:

[KWJ]

Done well for the goal. First to react and was onside.

Dunno what he was doing with his booking though, must have thought the boy was right on him and ended up palming his face.

Boyle comes on at 7:54

[Glory Lurker]

Alex McLeish, man.........

[Souter96Mac]

Without Boyle going in for the rebound, the keeper has that easy. He was the quickest to react. Thought he did well enough.

[IGRIGI]

Calm down FFS, we've got James Forrest.

[The 90+2]

Squirrel this morning reminded me so much of Ivan in the early days coming on at Parkhead in our 3-1 win.

[MWHIBBIES]

Immensely proud of Martin Boyle tbh. Came to us in a tough time and was very raw. Established himself as an important player and improved himself massively. Now making an impact at international level. A brilliant story.

[H18 SFR]

How did our lads play?

[Hillsidehibby]

1-1 draw. My mate said he was impressed with Boyle.

We should look at Josh Risdon. Too good for Australian football.

[One Day Soon]

I don't understand why we've been ignoring Antti Niemi.

Is he no Finish ?

[bingo70]

Is he no Finish ?

He’s only 28?

That call never fails to get me.

Either the guy was a complete idiot or a typical Jambo.

I prefer to believe he was both.

I heard it was a windup.

[coldingham hibs]

How did our lads play?

Milligan was solid, McLaren worked hard but barely touched the ball & Boyle didn’t look out of place & set up the equaliser.

[Forza Fred]

Milligan was solid, McLaren worked hard but barely touched the ball & Boyle didn’t look out of place & set up the equaliser.

Agree with all of this.

However Oz IS searching for a ‘goalscorer’, and I feel Jamie did not do anything last night that cemented it being him.

[Glory Lurker]

Deary me get with the proramme...😆😆😆

Aye, definitely whoosh! :-)

[California-Hibs]

Calm down FFS, we've got James Forrest.

Yep, and he scored 2 brilliant goals today 😉

His second was sublime 👍🏻

Hi gents.

You should really tap into the relationship you've created with the Aussie football side.

The country is well aware that Milligan is at Hibs, he's been a very solid player for a long period of time, he's had a myriad of visa issues over the last decade hence why he's never really played in Europe until his now 30's. Arsenal had a good look at him in his early 20's, Palace had a good look about 2 years ago as well, but as I said, he doesn't have an EU passport and could never get a Visa as Australia dropped out of the top 50 rankings. He's been to 3 world cups.



There's another 10 like him getting around at the moment in and around the A-League that could come to the SPL and more than take it up to the likes of Rogic etc at Celtic. Risdon was mooted with a move to the Russian league after the world cup, where he played pretty well, he's improving every game for the national side, to the point, he's probably become a lock at the moment. He was close to MOTM on the weekend.


I'd suggest Craig Goodwin as pretty get able at the moment, who had a few pretty decent seasons in the Eredivisie at Sparta.

Riley McGree is every bit as good as a young Rogic, he's currently owned by Brugge, but again has been loaned back to the A-League, so there's scope there down the track.

Plenty others like them. Australian's tend to follow other Australian's to clubs in Europe (Also clubs that have invested with success in Australia tend to keep going back there), the great Leeds side of the late 90's had about 5-6 Aussies in that squad. Kewell, Viduka, Okon, Foxe etc.


If you ever need a GK, again, great place to recruit as we've produced a ton of good ones over the last 2 decades, Danny Vukovic for example played pretty much exclusively in the A-League for around 12 years, was seen as one of the best 3 or 4 keepers in the league and at 32, moved to Genk last season and has been starring.

Mat Ryan is doing extremely well at Brighton and was an A-League product, Schwarzer, Bosnic, Kalac, Jones all forged pretty good careers. We generally produce a fair amount of GK's because of Aussie Rules, Rugby etc being main sports played by young kids and obviously hand eye co-ordination is a big thing.


No reason if you carve off 4-5 of the best young emerging Aussie players in the next 2 years, you couldn't give a title a real crack.
