6/1/1987 Scottish League Premier Division

Hibernian 2 v 2 Hearts

McCluskey
Weir

HIBS came out the traps flying with Mickey Weir on one wing and Joe McBride on the other causing Hearts all sorts of problems

HIBS took the lead after 10 minutes when Henry Smith might have done better with an angled drive from George McCluskey but he allowed the ball to squirm through his hands and in off the back post

Hearts took the lead with two lobs from distance from John Colquhoun that seemed to deceive Alan Rough as he lost sight of the ball under the lights and the ball flew high past him both times with snow on it

For once HIBS looked as though they wanted to win this derby and they pushed forwards in numbers

HIBS equalised through Mickey Weir who prodded a McCluskey cross over the line shortly after he had squandered an easier chance to score past the post and had another effort booted off the Hearts goal-line

Into the second half and Hearts were seen more as an attacking force. The pace of the game did not give up with no quarter spared but Hearts even although they were the dominant team were unable to beat Alan Rough who pulled off two magnificent saves from John Robertson

Robertson and Kidd and Dougie Bell of HIBS were all booked in the second half

6/1/1973 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 1 v 0 East Fife

Gordon 90

The day the music died

Going to this game every hibby had a wee warm glow full of anticipation and expectation after 0-7

Yes East Fife were a dirty spoiling physical team but surely we had enough quality in our individual lockers to overcome them,

The match started with John Love marking Alex Edwards tightly doing everything in his power to stop him playing by fair means or foul

East Fife were using spoiling tactics and it seemed to be working as Referee David Syme seemed to be unable to see through their crude but effective game plan showing leniency toward the away team and ruining the game as a spectacle as it turned into an ill tempered affair

The definitive moment came when John Brownlie set off on a dangerous attack just on the half way line going uphill Alex Edwards on his outside shouted for him to knock the ball down the line he stretched to do so and collided with HIBS supporting left back Ian Printy

There was a loud crack and everyone inside the ground knew it was a bad one John Brownlie was stretchered off with a broken tib and fib

Brownlie was replaced by Johnny Hamilton and the game continued in the same vein with HIBS pressing forward trying to play football and score goals and East Fife spoiling at every turn

To compound matters Alex Edwards rose to the bait as he always did and got booked for throwing the ball away taking him over the disciplinary threshold that would lead to a ten game ban

Alan Gordon would head home a Johnny Hamilton cross in the last minute to win the game

It would be the last game that the Tornadoes would play together

They only played 22 games together winning 18 drawing two and losing two scoring 71 goals and conceding 22

Johnstone

Hibs were flying in the League and 22000 turned up for this last holiday fixture

Raith Rovers took the lead when the Ref who was 50 yards away awarded a penalty for a hand ball in the box by Jock Paterson

HIBS protested that the ball hit his chest and pointed to the large muddy football imprint on his jersey but the Referee would not be moved.

Colville fired the ‘Vers in front from the spot but Bobby Johnstone duly equalised to loud cheers from the Hibernian faithful

Gordon Smith added another two into the second half thanks to fine crosses from Willie Allan



6/1/1912 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 5 v 0 Rangers

Bell 2
Rae 2
Anderson

Third bottom HIBS played high flying top club Rangers and a slaughter was expected and that was exactly what happened but it was Rangers who were slaughtered in the surprise result of the season that had the whole of Scotland talking. HIBS led 3-0 at half-time

The Hibernian team totally humiliated this Rangers side and there was much joyous celebrations amongst the Hibernian supporters but unsurprisingly the game is also remembered for the crude tackling and the unsportsmanlike behaviour of the defeated Rangers players

[ancient hibee]

The disgraceful thing about the Edwards booking against East Fife was that having been kicked up and down by Love with many fouls not given Alex managed to get free from a Love grapple but instead of playing advantage Syme blew for a foul. Edwards,exasperated,picked up the ball to show he’d got it and then threw it down. Booked.

Did Edwards really get a 10 game ban ? In those days I think bans were for a period of time rather than a set number of games.

I think it was against East Fife and he got a yellow card for protesting about being fouled for the umpteenth time. No doubt some Weegie ref worried about how well Hibs were playing and might upset the Uglies monopoly of the league.

Yes, although I too thought it was 8 games and the ban handed down to Pat Stanton was only slightly less severe. I think Pat got 6 games. In the meantime Jimmy Johnston and Alex McDonald, with similar or worse discipline records, were treated less severely that season by our non partisan SFA all IIRC

Eight week ban. Alongside the loss of Brownlie, it pretty much scunnered Hibs' title push.

Pretty sure it was his fourth booking of the season. Of course in those days they took previous seasons into account. Eventually even the SFA realised the system was unfair and moved to number of games for suspensions and laid down sentences instead of making it up as they went along.

Colin Stein made his debut in this game after scoring 11:12 for the Reserves

Erik Sorensen in the Morton goal had to look lively inside the first five minutes punching a Stevenson corner off Cormack’s head and fisting over a drive from the keen Colin Stein

Morton started to take the initiative and twice former Hibee Morris Stevenson forced Wilson to his knees to make saves with good efforts on target

Morris Stevenson had the best chance of the match to open the scoring when Chic Halliday set him up with a free shot on goal but once again Wilson managed to scramble his attempt clear

Stein once again showed his undoubted potential with a glorious diving header but somehow Sorensen managed to divert the ball from the top corner out for a corner

In the 33rd minute following a defensive mixup Cormack found himself in the clear and managed to sidestep the goalkeeper and tap the ball into the empty net

Two minutes later HIBS were two up Stein tried an overhead kick into the box and Cormack repeated the trick with a wonderful overhead kick that sent the ball flashing high into the roof of the net

Six minutes into the second half after Wilson had saved at the feet of Craig Watson Jimmy O’Rourke increased Hibs’ lead when he fired home through a ruck of players in the box

Alan McGraw almost pulled one back for Morton but his effort just cleared the crossbar

Jason Cummings then added another two to complete his first senior hat-trick but Referee Willie Collum controversially decided that his second goal was an own goal by Luke Leahy ?

Into the second half Martin Boyle missed a good chance to increase HIBS’ lead when he knocked the ball past the upright from a good position

Peter Grant pulled one back for Falkirk from a corner when the ball seemed to enter the net via a HIBS defender There was no doubt however about Grant’s well taken second and Falkirk’s equaliser.

10/1/1968 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Round 3 Leg 2

Hibernian 1 v 1 Leeds United ( Agg 1-2)

Stein 4

My first ever HIBS game and I was hooked when I saw the green shirts with the long white sleeves running out under the drench floodlighting in front of 40000 fans

The match that had been delayed by five minutes to allow the massive crowd into the ground got off to the best possible start from a HIBS point of view

Kicking up the slope Cormack fed Quinn out on the left who spotting Stein’s run squared the ball high towards him and as the ball bounced in front of him fending off the attentions of Cooper he spotted Sprake off his line and managed to lift the ball over his despairing hands from a tight angle towards the unguarded net Jack Charlton backtracking could only help the ball into the net

It was redemption for the young centre forward who had had a goal controversially disallowed and had been carried off in the first leg to square the tie on the night

Leeds did not take this setback lying down and Eddie Gray unleashed a shot from the edge of the penalty area that Wilson gathered at the second attempt

HIBS piled forward and Bremner nicked the ball off Stein’s foot as he was about to strike and Cormack was hauled down outside the Leeds box but nothing came of the freekick Minutes later a long range daisy cutter by Quinn almost caught Sprake unawares

Into the second half and HIBS were going down the slope and things were getting heated

A Billy Bremner back heel allowed Gray a free sight of goal and he hit it with all his power but Pat Stanton put his body in the way to deflect it for a corner Cormack and Charlton then entered Clive Thomas’ book for separate misdemeanours

Alex Scott pulled out a brilliant save from Sprake with Joe Davis going close from the resultant corner bringing a huge gasp from the crowd

Alex Scott and Colin Stein then broke clear with only Charlton between them and Sprake’s goal Scott fed Stein whose rushed shot flew past the upright

Peter Cormack then produced the best piece of skill in the whole game showing the ball first to Bremner then Hunter before impudently going past both feeding Quinn who once again sent his drive beyond the post

Five minutes to go and Leeds scored against the run of play Lorimer harassed Wilson on the right hand side of his box just as he was about to launch a hand to ball clearance down the slope forcing him to inadvertently take an extra step with an alleged push the rule at the time was that the goalkeeper was allowed to take four steps something Sprake got away with the whole game taking several steps on more than one occasion

Clive Thomas gave the award Jack Charlton stood on the goal-line Johnny Giles flighted the ball over and with one flash of Charlton’s head HIBS were unluckily and undeservedly knocked out of the Fairs Cities Cup

Hibs had one final spell of pressure that ended with a Quinn corner He sent the ball over Sprake came for the ball and missed it but there were no takers in a green and white jersey

Leeds United would win the Fairs Cities Cup in this season

Into the second half and Willie Ormond fired in a stinging shot past the Motherwell goalkeeper that earned him a pat on the back from his marker

Smith then went on one of his trade mark marauding runs down the right wing beating man after man before cutting inside to his left foot and sending an unstoppable shot past the impressive Hamilton

One of my all time favourite Hibs players. He was a former pupil of my school as well which made being one of the very few Hibs fans attending a wee bit easier. His brother Kevin was a more than decent player as well.

On the hour HIBS made a positive change bringing on Garry O’Connor and it paid off 15 minutes later when Calum Booth fed Griffiths in the Pars box who found O’Connor and the Scotland international fired the ball into the roof of the net

Hardie thought he had equalised with a header but Hart appeared on the goal-line to clear the danger The equaliser was only delayed however as HIBS failed to clear a Cardle free-kick and Buchanan fired home from close range

The charismatic Manager Willie McCartney persuades Centre Half Jimmy Miller it is ok to play with the hairline fracture to the jaw he picked up in a 1-0 win at Tiny weeks before

Very much against the advice of eminent Club Doctor Dr W St John Cogan

Miller complained of being in agony every time he headed the ball

Hibernian 2 v 1 SV Hamburg ( Agg 2-2 Hamburg won on away goals)

McBride 2

Dearie me!

Hamburg came to defend their one goal lead and defend they did

The Hamburg goalkeeper sported a green top the HIBS bench protested before kick off but the Swedish Referee refused to do anything about it

As it turned out HIBS had two perfectly good goals wrongly disallowed for offside against the goalkeeper

The first when Cormack headed a corner back across goal for a Joe McBride tap in The second when the Hamburg goalie could only parry a Cormack shot and Stanton followed up to fire home

Then the normally reliable Penalty King Joe Davis missed a late first half penalty when he fired past the post following a foul on Peter Cormack

German World Cup hero Willi Schultz did not reappear for the second half as he had a suspected broken cheekbone

Hibs finally got the goal their superior play deserved when following yet another HIBS free-kick Joe McBride scored after a huge stramash in the box There was nothing the Referee could do about this counter as there was about ten Hamburg defenders in front of McBriide

Game on but tragedy struck 11 minutes later when leg break victim Bobby Duncan tried a speculative cross-field pass this was intercepted by veteran German striker Uwe Seeler who gave Thomson Allan no chance from 15 yards to score the invaluable away goal and stun the home crowd into silence

Joe McBride pulled a goal back for HIBS in the final minute but it was too little too late

There was tremendous media interest and I remember Football Focus doing a special on this match as not only was the Baker Boy returning to his old club but the big question was could HIBS breach the Aberdeen defence as goalkeeper Bobby Clark had gone 1093 minutes without conceding ?

Joe Baker Captain for the day led the team out resplendent in green top white sleeves white shorts white socks and white boots All sideburns and cheeky chappie grin The electric pace I had been told about had gone but the brain was still there holding up play, perfect distribution, adopting dangerous positions and not being afraid to get stuck in

The 23500 crowd had to wait until the 64th minute when Pat Stanton smashed the ball past Clark to end his record followed by a glorious bullet header from Baker to seal the points Davie Robb scored a late consolation for the Dons

The 1965 game against Dundee Utd 3-4. I was there with my dad in our usual place in the enclosure. Dundee Utd in their strip at the time of all white and black trimmings.
My auld man was flabbergasted with Finn Dossing's boots. Whilst everyone was wearing the fashionable boot that were cut under the ankle line Dossing was wearing these big brown things that were like something you've seen from the fifties. Am I remembering that rightly ?

What I do seem to remember though was that out of all the Scandinavians that came to Utd and Morton , Dossing was one of the best.

The match continued to and fro until the poorly Michael Stewart hit a worldy that crept in just under Langfield’s crossbar from just outside the box following a Shiels corner just on the half-time whistle

Hibs replaced the unwell Stewart and goal maker Shiels with Kevin Thomson and Benji at half-time and what a master stroke that proved to be An early Thomson pass being flicked on by Fletcher into the path of Benji who found himself one on one with Langfield who promptly rounded the keeper and fired home Benji completed the scoring just short of the hour when he picked up an Andy McNeil clearance before teasing Andy Considine and drilling a shot low under the diving Langfield

You could not move in Edinburgh that day for "Celtic" fans.
Including those glory hunters that managed the bus fares !
Celtic of course were on route to their "nine in a row" and still a top European side.
They would contest the European Cup final the season after this.

The grassy knolls of London Road was filled early wae buckfast swilling hordes,who then descended down to the Holy Ground and used every turnstile to get into the ground.

Dead easy to corral the Cave, cos of the colours.

Malloy reappeared for the second half and when play recommenced Clyde looked to be content to hold what they had.

The Hibernians piled forward in numbers throwing caution to the wind with all the fighting spirit of the old Irish brigades as if defeat was out of the question

Rab Walls got his second and new boy JJ Smith got a double to tie the tie 4-4

With 15 minutes to go a beautiful head flick from JJ teed up Malloy to smash home the winner

The HIBS supporters were transformed from silent witnesses of doom into raving maniacs acclaiming their heroes with wild abandon Total strangers threw each other’s bunnets up in the air and clung around each other’s necks and wept for joy

That night in the taverns of Leith a new song was sung:

D’ye Ken John Smith
In his jersey green?
He went through Clyde
Like a submarine
He scored twa goals
He was sae keen
An’ the HIBS live to fight
Anither mornin’

Bobby Duncan’s leg break happed more or less right infront of me and my brother, standing close to the centre line on the east terrace. It was nothing short of assault and there was a horrible crack as Hughes did the dirty. This was the first visit to Easter Road by what was a fantastic, European Cup winning, Celtic side.

If ever a match summed up Franck Sauzee’s time at HIBS as Manager this was it

Hibs fought back bravely three times to equalise only to be so cruelly killed off at the death

Eugene Dadi gave the Dons the lead only for Paco Luna to equalise 40 seconds later with a magnificent strike from 12 yards Robbie Winters put Aberdeen ahead again before Ulysses De La Cruz ripped the Aberdeen defence apart with a pacy mazy run allowing Derek Townsley an easy finish from his cutback

Guntveit put Aberdeen ahead for the third time on 48 minutes only for Paco Luna to equalise with a trade mark looping header from a Grant Brebner corner

Derek Riordan Hurtado and Jarkko Wiss all went close to scoring before disaster struck in the 90th minute Ian Murray pulled Darren Young down in the box and even although Nick Colgan made a brilliant save from Darren Mackie’s spot kick Mackie was first to react and fired home the rebound

Its hard core and rubble that had been transported in for the huge extension of the main terracing,which soon after would hold the clubs record attendance.(see linked article below)
The post war years saw a tremendous Hibs team on the rise and demand to see them was huge.

Was just about to post that Mick. That was the game. The games against the Huns were massive in those days hence the over 100000 at Ibrox.

If you look at the attendances in the immediate post war years,our main rivals were rAngers.
Quick glance at attendances for that period shows that as many Hun as jambos would descend on the Holy Ground for respective fixtures.
I mentioned in an earlier post about huge Celtic crowds at ER.
That applied also to Hun of course, when they were doing well.

Of course, in the post war years ,transport was different.
Not many cars
But trains by the dozen ran right alongside our ground back then for such games.
They came through in their hordes by train,coach and horse driven carts !!

The 1965 game against Dundee Utd 3-4. I was there with my dad in our usual place in the enclosure. Dundee Utd in their strip at the time of all white and black trimmings.
My auld man was flabbergasted with Finn Dossing's boots. Whilst everyone was wearing the fashionable boot that were cut under the ankle line Dossing was wearing these big brown things that were like something you've seen from the fifties. Am I remembering that rightly ?

What I do seem to remember though was that out of all the Scandinavians that came to Utd and Morton , Dossing was one of the best.

If it’s the game I remember United we’re leading 4+0 at half time and our second half fight back just failed.

Talisman Anthony Stokes equalised for HIBS after 25 minutes when he flicked home a Derek Riordan corner

After that it was pretty much backs to the wall with Chris Hogg and Ian Murray orchestrating the HIBS defence and ex Celt Liam Miller pulling the strings in midfield

Just when it looked as though things were going to fizzle out for a draw Anthony Stokes shocked Tony Mowbray’s troops in the last minute when he sprung the offside trap on the counterattack threading the perfect ball through to substitute Danny Galbraith on the left hand side of the Celtic box who drilled an unstoppable drive low into Artur Boruc’s bottom left hand corner

Hibernian 4 v 1 Dunfermline Athletic

K Miller
Brebner
Murray
Collins


An easy victory for HIBS on a wind swept Easter Road

Young Kenny Miller was alert and rushed into the box to head home the opener after only two minutes

Matty Jack gave Dunfermline a lifeline after 30 minutes when he was uncharacteristically short with a pass-back and could only watch in horror as David Graham waltzed around Colgan to fire home the equaliser

Grant Brebner eased the hibee nerves just before half-time when he restored HIBS’ lead

Second half and HIBS gave a debut to young Ian Murray who scored with his first touch firing home from close range after a Kenny Miller effort had been blocked on the line

HIBS now stepped up the pressure as the wind increased and it was obvious that poor Dunfermline were being outclassed

Derek Collins scored his first goal for the club to complete an easy victory when he lobbed Pars keeper Mampaey with only minutes to go

Hibs cruised into the Scottish Cup Quarterfinals with a comfortable win over Brechin City

A deflected shot from Boozy hit the post before Sam Morrow curled a beauty past Craig Nelson from 16 yards HIBS further increased their lead when Garry O’Connor fired home a Derek Riordan cross eight minutes later

Into the second half and HIBS secured their place in the quarterfinals when Dean Shiels sent O’Connor scampering through the middle and despite a poor first touch was able to recover and slide the ball under the advancing Nelson

Six minutes later and Gary Caldwell put the icing on the cake when following a short corner his looping header from a Riordan cross deceived Nelson and his defence sneaking in at the far post

Hibernian 1 v 1 Rangers AET ( HIBS won 4-3 on pens )

Dobbie 79

After knocking out Celtic injury ravaged HIBS were up against it against Rangers at rain lashed Hampden Park

Rangers started the better and after 27 minutes Daniel Andersson upended Ronald De Boer in the penalty box but he quickly redeemed himself with a fine one handed save from Arteta’s spot kick

Rangers were not to be denied however and Michael Mols swept Rangers into the lead just before half-time from 15 yards after a defence splitting pass from Ross

Into the second half and play raged from end to end Hibs brought on Stephen Dobbie with 13 minutes to go and he equalised within a minute latching on to a Derek Riordan pass and lashing the ball home from 12 yards

HIBS were galvanised as they went for the kill Fernando Ricksen was lucky to escape punishment when he elbowed Riordan in the face and Garry O’Connor had a decent claim for a penalty waved away

HIBS pushed forward in the first period of extra time but could not prise open the Rangers defence Into the second period and HIBS survived two mass scrambles in their own box with goal hero Dobbie booting a ball off the goalline

Onto penalties and both keepers had two fine saves apiece with Averladze blazing over the crossbar and Mattius Doumbe hitting the woodwork

With the scores at 3-3 Colin Murdock tucked away his kick and Frank De Boer hit the post cue celebrations among the 7000 rain soaked HIBS fans

7/2/2016 Scottish Cup Round 5

Hearts 2 v 2 Hibernian

Cummings 80
Hanlon 90+1

Hibs looking down and out against their Premiership rivals famously came back from the dead to live to fight another day

In the first half it was HIBS who had the better of the early play with McGinn testing Neil Alexander with a drive and Stokesy heading just over from a corner

Things changed on the half hour however when Dylan McGeouch had to leave the field of play due to injury giving yet another HIBS debut to Kevin Thomson

Minutes later and Hearts were two up Djoum fired in an excocet that flew past Mark Oxley at a rate of knots following a poor clearance then Sam Nicholson brought down a Callum Paterson cross in the box on his chest and repeated the dose

Into the second half and HIBS showing true character started to dominate with Bartley bossing the midfield pegging Hearts back and Gunnarsson on for SDG went close with a header and Stokesy smashed one into the side net

Just when it looked as though all HIBS’ pressure would come to nothing Liam Henderson dinked in a cross and Jason Cummings sent in a looping header off his new gelled barnet up and over Alexander and in at his back post

HIBS continued to press for the equaliser and into stoppage time Alexander thought he had done enough at a corner when he repelled Darren McGregor’s header but Paul Hanlon was alive to the rebound and slid the ball home through a forest of legs Cue joyful celebrations in the School End

Hearts were not done however and in true Gorgie tradition the stoppage time came from nowhere Gunnarsson managed to clear a defensive header off his own crossbar and midfield dynamo Kevin Thomson managed to boot a last minute net bound Blazej Augustyn effort off the line

HIBS would win the Scottish Cup in this season

Worth mentioning that this was a season of Cup shocks :

Armadale also saw off Clyde ( a decent side then) and Ayr United before losing out to eventual winners Kilmarnock who beat shock troops Albion Rovers ( who had knocked out the mighty Rangers in the semi final ) in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in front of 96000 fans

102342 fans fillied Ibrox to watch this intriguing battle of Rangers’ Iron Curtain Defence versus the imperious Famous Five

Simpson gave the Scottish Cup holders an early lead and Rangers retreated into their shell putting up their defensive wall

This enabled HIBS who had got off to a nervous start to find their rhythm and get their passing game together HIBS equalised just before half-time when Gordon Smith met an Ormond cross on the volley and the ball fairly flew into the Rangers net

Into the second half and HIBS obviously hadn’t learned their lesson from the first half when Simpson scored his and Rangers’ second

Fatally Rangers reverted to type and flooded their defence

HIBS were known for their flexibility and imagination and took the game by the scruff of the neck

Eddie Turnbull equalised with one of his cannonball specials and Rangers now found themselves in a quandary do they stick or twist? Problem was they were now pinned back into their own half unable to get out as the green and white jerseys swarmed around their box

With nine minutes to go HIBS sealed their win

Hibs had a freekick outside the Rangers box Rangers put up a nine man wall Eddie Turnbull lined up for a thunderbolt but he played the ball short to Willie Ormond who quickly passed it to Johnstone who fired home from a tight angle

This game was played at a sodden Hampden Park as Celtic Park was undergoing renovations

Celtic took the lead when Celtic Captain John Collins fired home after 5 minutes.

Jim Leighton thought he had saved the initial attempt but he didn’t get enough on it and watched in agony as it clipped the post on the way in

Hibs equalised when last season’s Celtic FC top scorer Pat McGinlay a £425000 signing in November fired home past Pat Bonnar.

A goal he celebrated by giving Celtic Manager Tommy Burns a long satisfied stare

Celtic were struggling with Kevin Harper’s pace the young striker taking up good position but squandering any chances that came his way

Celtic took the lead early into the second half when Willie Falconer expertly headed home a John Collins cross giving Jim Leighton no chance

Hibs replaced Joe Tortolano with Mark McGraw with ten minutes to go and this change brought immediate rewards when the young striker fired home from the edge of the box past the unsighted Bonnar following a HIBS corner

At the final whistle the players left the field of play to the sound of Hibees! Hibees! ringing in their ears

Hibernian 2 v 1 Dumbarton

Montgomery
Groves

Green shirted Hibernian were first onto the park led by their captain James McGhee and they received a rapturous welcome while Dumbarton in their blue and white striped jerseys were politely welcomed by their supporters who only numbered a few thousand

Hibernian won the toss booked the wind and Dumbarton kicked off on a slippery surface which was very hard underneath Play swung from end to end with defences on top When the forwards did get a chance their shooting was wild and the goalkeepers had very few saves to make Near the end of the first half play became rough and the Referee was kept busy

Play continued in a similar fashion in the second half up until the 60th minute when Aitken put Dumbarton ahead with an unsaveable shot after which they used spoiling tactics to try and hold on to their lead This was a mistake as the Irish crowd roared Hibernian on to one of their famous fight-backs

The forwards responded with some brilliant play and a strong run and angled shot from Phil Clarke which Dumbarton’s international goalkeeper could not hold allowed James Montgomery to follow through and fire home the equaliser

The green Jerseys now went all out for the winner and dominated the game with their strength and skill Following a Dumbarton corner the defence cleverly played the ball to Paddy Lafferty who fed Willie Groves and went on a decoy run down the right wing ‘Darling’ Willie Groves then went on one of his famous mazy dribbling runs that took him right into the heart of the Dumbarton defence and he coolly hit the ball home while Dumbarton vainly tried to claim offside

The celebrating on the terraces was wild For the last ten minutes of the game the noise was indescribable and when the final whistle went the Hibernian players were carried off the field of play shoulder high

There was an air of disbelief about what had just happened Hibernian had done the impossible and had won the greatest prize in Scottish football The poor team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood had actually won the Scottish Cup

Word was received that the team would arrive at Waverley at 10.00pm The station was completely taken over by the cheering throng who carried the Hibernian party shoulder high to a special horse drawn break which was draped with two large banners one proclaiming ‘Welcome Hibernian Winners of the Scottish Cup 1886-87’ and the other ‘God Save Ireland-Hurrah for the Green Jerseys’

Rangers 2 v 3 Hibernian

Smith
Breslin
Groves

This game was a real old-fashioned Cup tie with a lot of good football particularly from Hibernian with Rangers indulging in brutal play

Hibs took the lead to the great joy of their large travelling support when Willie Smith scored Rangers were rattled and they became even wilder when a Barney Breslin free-kick found it’s way into the Ibrox net to renewed manifestations of delight from the HIBS support

Rangers were stung into action and their brutal play was being ignored by the Referee Rangers pulled a goal back and the Referee gave them their obligatory penalty but the spot kick was blasted over the bar

The Referee continued to protect Rangers into the second half and they got their equaliser Hibernian’s play however had been superior and they were determined not to let this match slip from their grasp

It is now that ‘Darling’ Willie Groves grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck going on one of his old mazy runs the Rangers defence hacked and kicked at him and ‘almost killed him’ but with his last ounce of strength he put Hibernian back into the lead with a glorious goal that he managed to steer over the goal-line

The action was not over however and you guessed it the weak Referee - Mr McArthur of Stirling- awarded Rangers another soft penalty but this time HIBS’ goalkeeper Pat McCall pulled off a brilliant save to finally knock the stuffing out of Rangers

After the match the Rangers goalkeeper Bell got changed walked down the Copeland Road and was never seen or heard of again

Re the Jimmy O hat trick in cup against St J in 1974 I'm pretty sure Joe Harper wasn't ineligible, he was dropped. No surprise really after his sluggish, overweight debut the week before. The Gordon/O'Rourke partnership was restored and Jimmy did the business!

Try to be objective here.

The dugs in the street knew then that Jimmy was good enough to remain in the team.
But Ned had other ideas.As you know Brian,it broke Jimmy's heart the day he left The Holy Ground.



I notice a few history posts from Billy refer to former player,Gordon Durie and his nickname.

When Jimmy was assistant to Pat Stanton,along with George Stewart,Jimmy had nicknames for a few of the youngsters.
Durie was one of that fine crop.
It goes back to older family members in the Grassmarket who had a habit of often using rhyming slang when chatting.
Jimmy used it sometimes.
So Gordon Durie got called "Juke Box" ,after the TV music quiz show of the sixties, Juke Box Jury..and it appears to have stuck to this day.

I remember those days well Michael. I used to meet Jimmy and the boys in Pearces after the game. I even ended up on the bench briefly for 1 game!! We had the 2 full backs Brown and Farmer at that time. Jimmy deliberately listed them in wrong order so announcer had to say Farmer Brown! Some fun times!

This was of course the weekend of his infamous drinking session with the French Rugby team and George Best would be put up for sale in the morning

The match itself was a good old fashioned competitive Cup tie with Ayr United putting up a good show played in the best spirit of the game with Duncan Lambie and Ally MacLeod scoring either side of half-time

Ayr had some decent players Steve Nicol, Robert Connor and Jim McSherry indeed Robert Connor is still convinced to this day that a first half strike that cannoned off the underside of the crossbar bounced miles over the line

We left ER gutted that night after the arabs equalised in stoppage time. I think it was Ally Brazil who tried a pass back and gave away a needless corner when all that was required was a hoof out the park.

Raith Rovers 1 v 1 Hibernian

New Raith Rovers Manager John Hughes got a standing ovation as he took his seat in the Starks Park dug out

Ex Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson gave Raith the lead after 54 minutes when he rifled in a half volley from 22 yards into the top corner of the net. Jason Cummings equalised six minutes later with a wonderful free-kick from just outside the box

HIBS extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points with an admittedly insipid performance that brought this response from Manager Neil Lennon:

”We were an absolute disgrace- a disgrace We had the right colour of jersey on ( yellow) today You can’t turn up and play for 30 minutes We were abject We are going for a title here and trying to extend our lead but we totally disrespected the opponent I am not happy with that at all and that is creeping in far too often “

Many were to leave disappointed as Jim Scott scored the only goal of the game just before half-time
Berwick Rangers’ goalkeeper and Captain Jock Wallace saved a Jim Scott penalty in the latter stages of the match

Berwick had fought bravely but in truth were never in the match and kicked everything that moved HIBS were the better side and had the bulk of the play but Berwick thought they had scored when Thomson Allan clawed away a ball that appeared to have crossed the line half way through the first half

Jim Scott scored with a speculative shot from 20 yards that Wallace appeared to have covered but miscalculated the flight of the ball went down like a carthorse and the ball flew into the empty net

Eric Stevenson relates in his biography that Jock Wallace had told his marker Gordon Haig “ If Stevie goes for a piss at half-time you go with him”

Berwick Rangers left the field of play to a standing ovation in recognition of a gallant cup run in which they had showed determination and true grit but had also played some good football and did not look out of place against higher League opposition

it was a superb night. Thought a proper pumpin (like a 6-2) was in the air when the third went in. The hunger of our team was something to behold. If you watch the highlights, nearly every chance we had came after McGinn snapping into challenges and hunting their team down.

Hibs claimed their fourth successive SPL win with this 2-0 victory over Inverness CT

The talk after the game was all about the performance of young Calum Booth who put in a performance that belied his years and had many comparing him to John Brownlie

Indeed Booth gave HIBS the lead just short of the hour when he collected a Derek Riordan pass outside the box and lifted the ball beyond Esson and into his top far corner

Booth was then called into action at the other end of the park when he headered away a goalbound Inverness effort from underneath his own crossbar

Lewis Stevenson on as a 77th minute substitute for Liam Miller scored one minute from the end when he curled a deflected effort past Esson to seal all three points

Duncan

I attended this game and my overriding memory is ‘We wiz robbed’

49000 turned up to take the total attendance for this tie to well over 100000

Duncan gave HIBS the lead in a rough match Tommy McLean equalised and in the dying embers of this game with extra time looking likely the Referee controversially awarded Rangers a late penalty which Tommy McLean duly scored

HIBS totally dominated this game but could only take one of the many chances they created whereas Rangers only needed two

Pretty sure their penalty was highly dodgy IIRC

Significant by his absence was Jimmy O’Rourke who appeared to have fallen out of the Manager’s favour

This was the first time HIBS had lost in the Scottish Cup to anyone at home since Partick Thistle 1962 and the first time to Rangers in almost 70 years

Hearts 3 v 4 Hibernian

Joe Baker 4

Hibs arrived at Tynecastle to face red hot favourites high flying Hearts -who would win the title - in front of a crowd of 41666 without talismanic centre forward Lawrie Reilly who was still recovering from a cartilage operation

HIBS Manager Hugh Shaw decided to go with the young inexperienced 17 year old Joe Baker who was not without promise having already scored in a win against Hearts to christen their floodlights a double against Queens Park, a goal in the previous round versus Dundee United and a hat-trick against Spurs

Anyway the game kicked off amid great anticipation Joe Baker missed a golden opportunity in the first few seconds. Hearts scored against the run of play after 10 minutes when a shot by Hamilton trickled over the line. Baker equalised less than one minute later when a shot from Ormond came crashing down off the underside of the crossbar HIBS were now in total dominance and in a shrewd move by Hugh Shaw before the game he had moved the strapping full back John Grant into midfield to counter the menace offered by Dave Mackay

Joe Baker thrived in the space created in the hole by Grant and he ran his marker Jimmy Milne ragged twice scoring with tremendous drives from outside the box after leaving Hearts defenders trailing in his wake blasting the ball past Gordon Marshall to put HIBS 1-3 up

Veteran Hearts midfielder Jimmy Wardhaugh pulled one back but Baker scored again when he hammered home a pass from John Fraser

Hibs led 4-2 with one minute to go - Hearts put HIBS under severe pressure and Murray pulled a goal back and still they came forward searching for an equaliser but Lawrie Leslie in the HIBS goal held firm and repelled all further Hearts attacks being carried from the field of play shoulder high by jubilant HIBS fans at the final whistle

HIBS would reach the final in this season defeating Rangers in the Semi Final after a replay

Griffiths 15 82 89 pen
Done 39


A large vociferous HIBS support made their way through to Ayrshire for this televised classic Scottish Cup tie that would feature a virtuoso performance from Leigh Griffiths in which he would score his first hat-trick for the club

Killie had the better of the early openings but Griffiths opened the scoring when he latched onto a long ball from David Wotherspoon to fire home under the diving Cammy Bell

Killie equalised when Ben Williams parried a long range effort from Gros and James Dayton did not have to be asked twice

Just before half-time a mix up between Bell and Sissoko left the ball bouncing at the feet of Matt Done and he made no mistake from close range

Into the second half and Williams pulled off a great save from Dayton only for the Referee to pull play back awarding a penalty indicating that Lewis Stevenson had pulled Paul Heffernan back in the box as he went for the rebound -2-2

Griffiths then scored his second and HIBS ‘ third when he outpaced Sissoko and planted the ball behind Bell

As the game became stretched Barbour was sent off for pulling back Griffiths Gros handled the resulting freekick as part of the defensive wall inside the box giving Griffiths the opportunity to complete his hat-trick from the penalty spot who wasted no time in blasting the ball home and firing HIBS into the semifinals

United almost equalised when Grant Brebner spotted Simon Brown off his line but his effort from 30 yards clipped the top of the crossbar on it’s way over

HIBS increased their lead in 25 minutes when Chris Killen found Riordan out on the left ran into the box for the expected cross and Alan Archibald in trying to clear the danger only succeeded in heading the ball not over the crossbar but into the roof of his own net

Chris Killen did get his reward however in 33 minutes when picking up a long ball from Riordan he found himself through on goal with only Gary Kenneth in the way between him and goal He turned him inside out a couple of times before sending a shot across the diving Craig Samson and in at the far post

A Pat McGinlay strike gave HIBS a half-time lead when the Celtic defence failed to deal with a Mixu cut-back.

Hibernian 0 v 2 Airdrieonians

Anyone remember the old Airdrieonians ( 1878-2002) that used to masquerade as a football team full of ex-Jambos that used to love to cynically kick us off the park in the early nineties and employ anti football tactics at every turn?

This Match was one such occasion

Having just won the League Cup we were confident of going for a Cup double but Airdrie had other ideas John Martin saved a Tommy McIntyre penalty after Pat McGinlay was brought down inside the box and with time running out Airdrie struck with a late double whammy sucker punch

This game was the precursor for a repeat scoreline one month later when Budgie and Callum Milne got sent off and Willie Miller saved a penalty guaranteeing them safety in the Premier League and the battle that was our relegation play off back in 1997

Oh Salonika here we come !

Another great European night at Easter Road in front of 30000 but in typical HIBS style leading and coasting 4-1 with only 15 minutes to play they somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to two late defensive lapses leaving themselves it all to do in the second leg

Eddie Turnbull was confident of us still going through

HIBS outplayed the Yugoslavs for large parts of this game - bear in mind that this side would supply the bulk of the players to Yugoslavia that would help knock Scotland out of the 1974 World Cup

Hibs were unfortunate not to win by more having three good penalty claims turned down by the Spanish Referee

Alex Edwards returned to the team from cold storage and this was a master stroke Wee Mickey being involved in every attack

After only 8 minutes he sent over a free-kick for Alan Gordon to head the first. HIBS were denied a penalty when Gordon was pushed to the ground in the 25th minute a minute later however HIBS were two ahead when Gordon grabbed his second thanks to an Alex Cropley cut back

In the 37th minute alarm bells were ringing when Hlevnjak nipped in to nod past Herriot

Two minutes into the second half and Arthur Duncan restored HIBS’ two goal advantage

Alan Gordon completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute when goalkeeper Sirkovic could only parry a drive from Erich Schaedler and he scored from close range

14 minutes from the end disaster struck when that man Hlevnjak scrambled the ball home to give ‘The Pirates’ hope for the second leg

A classic Scottish Cup tie and a match that had everything Played in a gale with an electric atmosphere it had goals, controversy, crunching tackles, penalties and all topped off with a pitch invasion

There was no TV coverage thanks to a dispute so 20000 crammed into Easter Road

Celtic took a 1-0 half-time lead thanks to a Brian McClair strike from a corner

Stevie Cowan equalised when he bundled the ball over the line in 51 minutes going down the slope

Mark McGhee put Celtic back in front 10 minutes later when he hammered a pass from Johnston into the roof of the net Gordon Chisholm then headed HIBS level with a towering header Stevie Cowan put HIBS 3-2 ahead from the penalty spot

Celtic were then awarded a soft penalty two minutes later that McClair scored with only minutes left on the clock

Joe Tortolano then swept a beautiful ball over to the right wing to substitute ‘ Bomber Harris’ who swept in a low cross that was met by the almost prostrate diving figure of Eddie May to head HIBS into the semifinals of the Scottish Cup and send the East radge

Great article Billy, Thanks! Still not convinced he was on loan though. In England, the loan system was only reintroduced in 1967, it was used in war, e.g. Matt Busby, Hibs, and in early days of amateur football. It would be surprising if Scotland reintroduced it 10 years before England. I'll try to find more.

Both teams played grand Cup tie football but the volunteers could not break down the HIBS defence in which Willie Harper played his part

The Hibernian forwards were smarter than the very able Third Lanark attack and the Irishmen won narrowly but deservedly So Alec Maley’s celebrated Hibernian team were in the final of the Scottish Cup

I was at that game probably the first time I noticed any real segregation at a football match

The match was played in a volatile hostile atmosphere with the yams fighting amongst themselves inside their wee pen

My abiding memory is the look of delight on the faces of George Stewart and Gordon Rae after scoring their goals as they were both big Hibees and had a tremendous desire to win that day from the kick off

Unfortunately not been able to find any footage the closest is a Premier League 1-1 draw played about that time 7 days later in fact

A horror show from young Dundee goalkeeper Bill Brown handed HIBS the points

For the first he clashed with Lawrie Reilly pulling his jersey back the ball broke free and trickled over the line the Referee decided to dispense with the penalty and awarded the goal The second a hopeful cross from Gordon Smith sailed over his head and in off the back post The third he allowed a tame shot from Reilly to squirm from his grasp and over the line

Dundee pulled a goal back through Gerrie but their hopes of a revival were crushed when Bobby Johnstone added a fourth

Gerrie scored a late consolation for Dundee to make the score more respectable

Bill Brown would go on to have a distinguished career with Dundee Tottenham Hotspur and Scotland winning the Scottish League Cup, English First Division, 2 x FA Cups, 2 x Charity Shields and the ECWC

HIBS ran amok and led by three at half time with counters from ‘Darkie’ Walker, Jimmy McColl and Johnny Halligan

In the second half Jimmy McColl added a fourth as Hibernian set about their work with renewed vigour and always looked certain winners even if they continued to miss chances at the rate they had been doing The score was not at all flattering to the Irishmen who with better finishing the final score would have been overwhelming

Hibs were now second in the league having pushed Rangers into third place Airdrie were now top of the League but it was very tight

Hibs kicked off with the sun in their eyes but one could tell that the strain of the three week long protest and court case had taken its toll on the players as they appeared to be suffering from over anxiety and seemed unable to go about their normal business

No complaints though the better team on the day won even although their first two goals had a huge element of fluke about them The first a soft penalty - ball to hand- the taker hit the ball straight at the goalkeeper that he unwittingly helped over the line The second the goalkeeper attempted to clear but only helped the ball into the net The third was a well taken headed goal

Hibs’ consolation was a well worked move involving Pat Murray and Willie Groves finished off by newcomer John O’Neill

‘ Hibs are an Edinburgh club with it’s ground Hibernian Park at Easter Road in Leith The name of the club is Edinburgh Hibernian ‘

Hibs would lose 1-3 to St Mirren in the semi-final who would go on to defeat Hearts in the final at Celtic Park 3-0 after extra-time in front of 60000

Lawrie played at least one more game-in the league against Rangers on the Monday before the cup final when he scored in a 3-1 victory. If he had to stop then scoring against the team who had been our greatest competitors in his career was a great way to do it.
We were a bit lucky against Third Lanark. I think we were down 2-1 and struggling when Joe sent in a hopeful(hopeless to be honest)lob.Fortunately Jocky Robertson was by a long way the smallest goalie in the league and fumbled it into the net.Cheered up by that Joe beat a couple of defenders on the bye line and laid it on a plate for Fraser.
Third Lanark knocked us out of the cup the following season.

McNulty pen 19

Paul Heckingbottom’s HIBS extended their unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership to five games with a superb performance against Motherwell

Marc McNulty celebrated his Scotland call up with a penalty when his shot on goal was blocked by the arm of Tom Aldred on the goalline

David Gray who looked like one of the walking wounded and looking a candidate to be replaced recovered enough to get his head on the end of a Stevie Mallan corner and in true SDG style he thundered the ball into the net just before half-time

Iain Vigurs pulled one back for Caley on 77 minutes before Carl Tremarco and Liam Hughes both missed glaring chances to equalise

Hibs then missed a trio of opportunities to increase their lead during an unprecedented seven minutes of stoppage time that had been added on due to HIBS’ goalkeeper Mark Oxley developing an eye problem which resulted in him picking up a booking -that would cost him a place in the semifinal - and having to be replaced by rookie goalkeeper Otso Virtanen

Dundee United 1 v 0 Hibernian

I attended this game and I still remember vividly the huge travelling HIBS support and standing behind John Leslie in the queue waiting to get in singing ‘Hibeees here! Hibees there!’ It was also the day of the famous Grand Slam Calcutta Cup match at Murrayfield

Hibs started brightly and Brian Hamilton rattled the United crossbar from 20 yards in the ninth minute That was the closest HIBS came all afternoon as that old fox Jim McLean had recalled John Clark to shackle Houchy who never got a sniff and pushed Miodrag Krivokapic into midfield to stifle the threat from John Collins

The United tactics of playing the long ball from defence up to Mixu Paatelainen and Darren Jackson worked a treat when Jackson received a Freddy Van Der Hourn free kick in the box with his back to goal and somehow managed to scoop the ball over his shoulder into the roof of the net

After that it was Dundee United versus Andy Goram

The Referee asked the taker simply to retake the throw without taking action

HIBS then took the lead through a simple goal from Bobby Johnstone

HIBS were then awarded a freekick outside the box Archie Buchanan placed the ball down and East Fife were organising their defensive wall when Eddie Turnbull ran forward and hammered the ball into the net

The Referee allowed the goal to stand

Ex HIBS man ‘Cubby’ pulled one back for the volunteeers with five minutes to go to cause a few nervous moments

Things calmed down when Jimmy Dunn scored a beautiful goal to equalise five minutes later

Every HIBS player was a hero that day but Jimmy Dunn was a super-hero when with only ten minutes to go he crashed home an unstoppable winner


Well I woke me up this morning
To a great almighty roar
From the throats of trusty Hibee men
Twenty thousand strong
Sure it was the Hibernian brigade
Winding up to join the big parade
So I put on my bunnet
And the scarf I love so well
And I bought myself a shamrock
Just to wear in my lapel
Don’t you know that today’s March 17
It’s the day for the wearin’ o ‘ the green.
Oh it’s a great day for the Hibees
It’s a great day for the green
Sure the emeralds and the shamrocks are the order
Sure there’s not a finer team across the border
Oh it’s a great day for the Hibees
Oh their green flag’s flying high
Every Paddy Mac is singing
And the bells they all are ringing
It’s a great great day
Go tell the Rangers it’s a great great day

Despite this setback Bobby Johnstone equalised early into the second half and Lawrie Reilly gave HIBS the lead shorty after against all the odds

With three minutes remaining Lapsley equalised from the penalty spot

HIBS would lose the League to Rangers in this season on goal average

On This Day In History

1998 Alex McLeish wins his first game in charge at Easter Road at the fifth time of asking against his former club Motherwell

Ironically it was McLeish’s Motherwell’s 6-2 victory over HIBS at Fir Park that cost Jim Duffy his job

McLeish recruited former Scotland goalie Bryan Gunn and Man United starlet Grant Brebner for a doomed relegation dog fight but ultimately HIBS would bounce back up to the top flight the following season


1973

Eddie Turnbull’s underachieving Tornadoes go crashing out of the European Cup Winners Cup 0-3 ( 4-5 on aggregate) to Croatia’s Hajduk Split at the quarter final stage

Many of the Split side would be in the Yugoslavia World Cup squad that would help knock Scotland out of the 1974 tournament

Former Scotland goalkeeper Jim Herriot had an uncharacteristic nightmare as he miscalculated two high balls to the back post that ended up in the HIBS net also compounded by a John Blackley own goal

Hibs would regret the two goals conceded at Easter Road in the first leg 4-2 win

Herriot would not play for HIBS again

So many things wrong with the Hadjuk Split game. Firstly, Jimmy O’Rourke was left on the bench. Unforgivable. Purple strip, white sleeves, unbelievable. But it was the goals we lost in the first leg at ER that really cost us.
This was a team that could and should have won so much more than a League Cup and couple of Dryburgh Cups.

Posted on a disliked hibs player thread as my most disliked

Stood 6’4” jumped 5’10” couldnae slip a pink news under his feet

Legs like tree trunks and slower than a week in the jail

Was skilful for a big guy with twinkle toes and scored a lot of useful goals for us but to me it was always O’Rourke and Gordon

On the pitch with Rangers almost guaranteed the Premiership title HIBS moved to within two points of second placed Motherwell in the race for a UEFA Cup place thanks to two strikes from Keith Wright

Hibs took the lead in the 12th minute in front of the West and East Stands as the North and South were under reconstruction when Darren Jackson released Kevin Harper down the left wing his driven cross was flicked beyond Stephen Woods by Wright to open the scoring

Hibs secured the points in 54 minutes when following a poor kick out by Woods Harper found Jackson and his shot could only be parried by Woods along the goal-line only to be nudged over the line by the predatory Wright

Bobby Lennox scored two consolation goals for Celtic in the second half

‘On scoring his third goal Neil Martin made a beeline for the Celtic dugout and gave the ‘V sign’ and shouted the words “ F#@k You” in the face of the impassive Celtic Manager The best goal of the evening was reserved for Celtic fullback Ian Young who headed spectacularly past John Fallon in trying to clear a cross’

Hibernian 2 v 0 Rangers

Divers
McCartney

30000 packed ‘neutral’ Ibrox for this Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers

Hibs took a big support with 1500 leaving Waverley Station to be joined by many more Irishmen through in the West

Things looked ominous for HIBS as they were without injured defenders Barney Breslin, Jimmy Hogg and Hamilton Handling

Hibs started off on the offensive and took the game to Rangers

We are told that Rangers could not handle the pace and trickery of Billy McCartney so kicked and hacked him to the ground

Similarly the same could be said about Andy McGeachan but the Rangers defence could not catch him as he wove his way past the blue jerseys with great speed

Hibs scored but the goal was disallowed for offside

Hibs’ pressure paid off when Johnny Divers scored The Rangers defence again protested for offside but this time the Referee would hear none of it and awarded the goal Indeed the Ref was getting braver as he awarded HIBS a penalty that Divers scooped over the crossbar

In the second half the HIBS support started to find their voice as they could sense a great victory spurring on the green jerseys at every opportunity singing and waving their green flags

HIBS had another goal disallowed before McCartney once again took the ball on a mazy run beating man after man and slotting home a perfectly legitimate second

This insolence made McCartney a marked man and minutes later he was carried from the field of play on a stretcher his leg broken in two above the ankle

Billy McCartney had been earmarked to play for Scotland in the forthcoming international versus England

Andy McGeachan was fortunate to leave the field of play without serious injury

‘Hibernian were the far better team both in combined play and individual skills Hibernian humiliated Rangers but even worse the Scottish Champions humiliated themselves with their rough unsportsmanlike play’

Having defeated Rangers in the semifinals at Ibrox Hibernian would win the Scottish Cup in this season defeating Celtic at Parkhead

Glory! Glory !

Rangers 0 v 1 Hibernian

Houchen 60

This match was a resounding success for master tactician Alex Miller setting up 3-4-3 to counter Rangers’ Scotland strike force of McCoist and Johnston and the threat offered by their attacking wing backs by pushing our fullbacks forward into midfield John Collins was utilised as an out and out left winger to feed our new twin pronged attacking threat offered by Keith Houchen and latest signing Paul Wright from QPR

The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft a-gley and this almost came to pass when misfiring Rangers centre forward Ally McCoist rattled Andy Goram’s crossbar with a first minute header when it looked easier to score

After this scare HIBS held Rangers and gave as good as they got their well laid plan paying off in 60 minutes when Collins caught the Rangers defence square and laid the ball on a plate for Houchen’s glorious finish to open the scoring

There was never any doubt about the final outcome after this although McCoist did take the ball around the despairing Goram seven minutes later before lifting his shot high over the open goal from seven yards

This win lifted HIBS into fifth spot closer to the coveted European spot and proved to the players that they could beat Rangers in Glasgow

Paul Wright’s exciting HIBS career would be cut short one week later by a horrendous tackle by Neil Berry in the derby and he would end up being sold to St Johnstone

One of the classic games of the eighties

Gordon Rae gave HIBS the lead with a thirty yard screamer after 3 minutes that Hamish McAlpine thought he had covered but only succeeded in getting a hand to it

Davie Dodds equalised with a near post header from a corner Ian Britton then gave United the lead when put through by John Reilly

Richard Gough put United 3-1 up when a ball from Britton fell kindly to him at the edge of the box just before half-time and he drilled a volley low into Roughie’s bottom left hand corner

Ralph Callachan replaced Mike Conroy at half-time

HIBS fought back and Brian Rice was unlucky with a left footed volley that McAlpine held at the second attempt

Willie Irvine #1 then scooped a simple chance over the crossbar from six yards out as he was caught leaning back as the ball fell to him

Irvine made up for this miss as he ran through the United defence chasing a head flick and slid a right footed shot low into McAlpine’s bottom right hand corner

The HIBS fans were in full voice as McAlpine turned another drive from Irvine away for a corner United were unable to clear the danger and Mexico bound Brian Rice scored a magnificent left footed volley as the second follow up corner was partially cleared to him lurking on the edge of the United box and he sent the ball flying high into McAlpine’s top right hand corner

At half-time the HIBS fans sang ‘God Save Ireland’

St Mirren came out and made a game of it quickly pulling a goal back For the first time in the competition HIBS looked nervous and Willie Allan had to pull off a great save to keep St Mirren out

Bobby Wilson ‘the skinny daft wee laddie’ Dan McMichael’s inspired signing from the United States then stepped forward with ten minutes to go to score the best goal of this or any other tournament the goal of the season to win the match and book HIBS’ place in the Scottish Cup Final

We are told that on the final whistle the HIBS hordes invaded the pitch and carried Wilson off shoulder high but Dan McMichael, John Farmer, Owen Brannigan and the other Directors sat in the Stand stoney faced knowing that their Cup Final opponents would be Celtic

I am sure that I read in one of the Hibs books that the 1923 cup final was the tipping point as to when Celtic finally became the Irish people's club. Up until then many weegie Irish people still followed Hibs but a lack of ambition from us spelt the change.

Hibs were on a mission to claim their place as the Premier Irish club in Scotland

This was the perfect opportunity to start this process against the upstart offspring Celtic

Hibs had played all their matches in the tournament in Edinburgh winning a tight semifinal 1-0 against Third Lanark at Tynecastle

Hibs took 13000 through to Glasgow for the final with a further 17000 from the West boosting their number to 30000 to cheer on the original greens

Hibs were the better team in the first half but couldn’t make the breakthrough The second half started in the same format but Celtic had their spell of pressure and scored from a corner

Hibs’ curse struck in the last minute when a goalbound shot struck a Celtic hand on the goalline The Hibs players appealed for a penalty but the Referee refused to give it

Not for the first time Hibs just never got the luck they needed

Hibs would return to Hampden one season later only to lose to Airdrieonians

Hamilton Academicals 0 v 2 Hibernian

Latapy 33 51

https://youtu.be/YfCKguT3fAM


Hibs who head been head and shoulders the best team in the League today won promotion back to the Premier League thanks to a masterclass from the Little Magician Russell Latapy

Involved in everything from the kick off Latapy terrorised the Hamilton defence at their temporary home of Partick Thistle’s Firhill

Jinking and weaving his one touch football he set up a chance for Mixu Paatelainen who cannoned his shot off the base of the Accies post

News then filtered through that nearest rivals Falkirk were a goal down

Latapy scored his first in 33 minutes when he ghosted through the Accies defence exchanging a one two with Paatelainen on the edge of the box before sending an unstoppable right footed shot into the goalkeeper’s bottom left hand corner

The second came after 51 minutes Paatelainen released Latapy clear on the right hand side of the box The wee man checked back dipped his shoulder and rifled a left footed shot past Ian MacFarlane

Latapy’s was a virtuoso performance a display way above this League an exhibition of pace control and precision passing

He blotted his copybook however when Stevie Crawford was hauled down inside the box by Neil Oliver and he made a rather lame attempt at grabbing his first hat-trick in Scottish Football from the resultant spot kick

The PA system pleaded with the massed HIBS fans not to invade the pitch at the final whistle and as you know we don’t need to be told twice

The Hibees were back to their rightful place at the top table of Scotland’s football elite and the fans marked the achievement at the final whistle with a stirring rendition of YNWA possibly for the last time

3/4/1993 Scottish Cup Semi Final

Hibernian 0 v 1 Aberdeen

The HIBS fans took over the area of Tynecastle normally reserved for Hearts fans for this fiercely competitive Scottish Cup Semi Final

Hibs were without Mickey Weir so the front two of Keith Wright and Darren Jackson had to live off scraps the best chance falling to Wright in the first half who tested Theo Snelders who rose to the challenge pulling off a tremendous save

Into the second half and HIBS were undone when Gary Smith fed Paul Kane down the left who played the ball inside the box to Scott Booth who beat Budgie at his near post

HIBS brought on Gareth Evans and roared on by the massed Hibees dominated the remainder of the match but found it impossible to breach the Dons defence in which Alex McLeish was superb and Snelders was inspired pulling off one fantastic save from Evans that appeared to be going into the net through a forest of legs at the death but Snelders who must have been unsighted somehow got a hand to it and turned the ball around the post

Hibernian 2 v 1 Valencia (Agg 2-6)

Preston
Baker

Hibs regained some pride after their 0-5 first leg defeat racing into a 2-0 lead inside the first 24 minutes to give their Spanish opponents a fright

Tommy Preston opened the scoring on 10 minutes from an Eric Stevenson cross Valencia tried to fight back but Joe Davin blocked a Nunes piledriver with his body

In 24 minutes a shock looked on the cards Jimmy O’Rourke fed John Grant and his cross was headed firmly into the net by Gerry Baker

Hibs smelling blood continued to pile forward but lost a soft goal just before the interval when Nunes found himself unmarked in the box and wasted no time in dispatching the hall into the net

HIBS continued to dominate the second half inspired by their two first half strikes the closest they came when Eric Stevenson scored direct from a free-kick but it was disallowed as the Referee had indicated that the award was indirect

A 20 yard drive by Grant had Zamora stretching and in a separate incident Gerry Baker fouled Verdu He promptly offered his hand in apology It was not accepted by the Spaniard and the crowd howled their disapproval

Valencia were current holders of the trophy having defeated Barcelona in the final and would go on to win the trophy in this year

Dundee United 2 v 2 Hibernian

Nish 6 10

Hibs blew a glorious opportunity to defeat Craig Levein’s Dundee United at Tannadice

Colin Nish opened the scoring in 6 minutes when he fired in a 30 yard screamer into Lakasz Zaluska’s top corner

He added a second minutes later when Prince Bauben was woefully short with a defensive header back to his goalkeeper

Hibs should have been out of sight in the first twenty minutes Nish had a volley saved by the United keeper and followed that up by totally miscuing a free header in front of goal when set up by Steven Fletcher sending the ball wide of the target Fletcher then missed an easy chance when set up by Nish

United were handed a lifeline when Chris Hogg was deemed to have fouled Feeney in the box but former United favourite Gregorz Szamotulski sprung cat-like to turn away Craig Conway’s penalty kick for a corner

Into the second half and Fletcher who had scored his first Scotland goal on Wednesday night against Iceland forced Zaluska into a brilliant save before United pulled one back when Gary Kenneth headed home a Paul Dixon cross

United continued to put a creaking HIBS defence under pressure and just when it looked as though HIBS had weathered the storm United got their reward when substitute David Goodwillie stabbed the ball over the line in the last minute following a late stramash in the box

Hearts 1 v 2 HIBS

Horgan 2

Hibs had not beaten Hearts in ten attempts at Tiny

Hearts dominated the early exchanges with Olly Lees free kick hitting the post before he crossed for Peter Haring to head home the opener on 25 minutes from a corner

Daryl Horgan equalised when he slid home a low cross following good work from Marc McNulty on the left despite Hearts claims that the HIBS centre forward was initially in an offside position

In the 56 th minute HIBS took the lead following a wonderful move full of fast intricate accurate pacy passing between Horgan Mallan and Kamberi which ended up with Horgan dispatching a low left foot drive into the bottom right hand corner of Bobby Zlamals net cue wild scenes in the School End

His goals apart Daryl Horgan was outstanding all day

McNulty should have made it three two minutes later with a header and brought out a great save from Zlamal in the dying minutes

The match will be remembered for the smoke bombs and the coconut on the pitch but the highlight for me was Darren MacGregors tackle on Peter Haring

This was HIBS first win at Tiny since 2013 and saw them jump above Hearts to finish in fifth place pre split but sadly that was to be their last win of the season

Irvine
Rice

Following on from the superb display at Tynecastle in midweek where two late goals from Joe McBride rescued an unexpected but welcome point HIBS still found themselves locked perilously close to the foot of the division and faced a tricky and nervy away fixture at fellow strugglers Dumbarton

Such was the sense of urgency felt by the HIBS Board to turn around this situation that they put on buses for the large travelling support @ fifty pence per head

I actually attended this game hard to believe it was 35 years ago I can still feel the tension and nervousness in the air there was a huge HIBS support and Old Boghead Park was a dump of a ground with a pitch to match like a bog that had gone hard and bumpy

Looking at our team you wondered why we were at the bottom of the league?

Second half goals from Irvine and Rice would ease the Hibee nerves but they were not out of the woods yet back in the days of the old top ten the bottom two teams went down

A home draw to Dundee United 1-1 followed by an inexplicable 0-4 reverse at home to St Mirren a 2-1 away win at Morton followed up by a last day 1-0 win over Rangers scorer Paul Kane ensured that HIBS finished in eighth place eight points clear of the relegated Dumbarton with Morton picking up the wooden spoon
