Murdo macleod , hibs cup winner

[Donegal Hibby]

Murdo MacLeod has been allowed to go home after spending 3 months in hospital and hopefully he's on the road to recovery. Really liked him when he played with us ,3 years at Hibs and helped us win a cup . Thought he was just the type of player we needed then and was really happy when he signed from Borussia Dortmund.

Wish him well in his recovery, I wasn't aware that he had been in hospital.

Great signing given his success at Celtc and Dortmund and as a cup-winning captain for us he is in a special and sadly rare category. In terms of international caps he almost certainly would have got more were it not for the stiff competition in midfield for Scotland.

He seems to have had a rough time of it . He was for me one of those signings that you say " wow " to yourself and get a lift as a fan specially with what our club had been through beforehand. Great player for us and a cup winning captain . Think he had around 20 caps for Scotland and seem to remember he got a call up while at Hibs , if my memory serves me correctly?

Didn’t know he was ill, hope he is on the road to recovery
I remember being at his debut at Tannadice, big Hibs crowd but as usual in those days, another loss
As stated a cup winning captain and a very good player

[heretoday]

Solid player and a thoroughly charming and humorous sort of bloke.

[BILLYHIBS]

Wishing him a speedy recovery

A cup winning Captain who was always only too pleased to give his time to attend supporter’s functions

A marquee signing from Dortmund that told the world the Hibees were very much still alive and kicking

Pretty sure his father played for Hibs as well

My memory of him as a player is of him driving us on in midfield with a rocket shot and of being knocked out cold from a Branco free kick in the Stadio Del Alpi in Italia ‘90

The spectacular Willie Miller OG in the last minute if I remember right?

A very good signing for us in the days when we could sign players from top cubs.
Murdo from Borrusia Dortmond , Archie goal from Barcelona.
Has always spoke highly of Hibs and enjoyed his time here , speedy recovery Murdo a cup winning captain.

As others have said, he was a really good signing.

We signed him just after Italia 90.

Thanks mate , I wasn't sure 👍

[Frazerbob]

We signed him just after Italia 90.

Some say he was still concussed 🤣

[Donegal Hibby]

Was wondering about something I posted earlier about Murdo Macleod having played 78 games for us , does anyone know who his 2 goals for us were against ?

Did he not win the League Cup with Celtic too? Have a vague memory of him scoring against the Huns with a raker in the early '80s (think I was coming back from Greenock the same day, after a ***** Hibs performance in the pishing rain at Cappielow 😄)

France looking really good again, Dembélé in particular having a good game. Surprised Camavinga hasn’t played much yet in this World Cup

Back then the League Cup Final was played at 3pm on a Saturday while the league matches were on, seems mental now! Sticks in ma heid, hearing the result in the car hame fae Greenock (cauld & wet, as usual 😆).

Your sharp as a tack mate 👍 Great memory, just shows don't believe everything you read too. 😆

[Colinton Hibby]

Loved Murdo back in the day. God, could we could do with a couple of really experienced guys in our side just now.

[Mark05]

Was one of my favourite players in the day,hopefully on the road to recovery wishing him all the best

Yes you do.
That was a sore one to take.
