Yes - I did steal some of the Easter Road grass (Note to John Inglis - I'll bring you some in July, if I can get it through US Customs!)

All in all a great day. I'm only sorry I couldn't stay for all the parties but I had to catch the flight back south at 6.40pm.

One final thought. I hadn't realised how much of a slope ER has. When I ran on to the pitch I headed towards the centre circle and ended up in front of the Famous Five Stand!

So, we're back where we belong - in the top flight of Scottish football. Let's hope next season can be at least half as enjoyable as this one was - and I'm definitely going to try and get to more games!

Congratulations to the team, manager, board and all the staff at Easter Road from all at London Hibs.
