Struggled to find any footage of this game but remember it as being quite tense as were all Rangers games at that timeQuote:

I remember Bobby Johnstone's return against Kille for a number of reasons. First was the gasp from 20,000 people when Bobby appeared. To say he had put on weight was the understatement of the year. Second was the magical moment about a couple of minutes in when he dribbled around a couple of guys in the centre circle,leaving one on his backside,and while facing the left wing corner flag chipped the ball forty yards with his left foot down the right wing for Joe Baker who promptly fell over it in astonishment. Later in the game we had a free kick about 30 yards which Bobby was organising while Jimmy Brown,the Killie goalie,was sorting his defence.Unnoticed by anyone John Baxter came hurtling up the park and smashed the ball straight into the net. Bobby of course went on to lay on and score numerous goals over the next few months.Happy days.
Brilliant AH, I had an Uncle who worshipped Johnstone. What was the story about him being sick on the pitch? I think people assumed he had been out on the razz the night before. Would have to have seen him play, any Hibs player who can pick a pass as his reputation suggests gets my interest.Quote:

Also one of the select few to score 100 league goals on either side of the border.Quote:

Played 17 times for Scotland scoring 10 goals no bad for a midfielder
Bobby was a wonderful player but as AH says he was seriously unfit on his return. He was helped however by having the pace & youth of Joe Baker up front. Bobby ambled around the centre circle, made some space then would hit a defence splitter into Joe's path & Joe usually did the rest. Great entertainment.Quote:

HIBS had a mountain to climb after losing the first leg in Greece 0-2 against Greek cracks AEK at a sold out Easter Road
Hibs did the unthinkable on the night pulling two goals back through Paco Luna in the second half. The first when he headed in an Ian Murray flick on from a Ulysses De La Cruz cross off the underside of the bar. The second when with only nine minutes to go Ulrik Laursen headed on John O’Neil’s free kick and Luna slid in to knock the ball into the net. Luna missed a goalden opportunity to win the tie in injury time when he infamously failed to convert a diving header at the far post
Two minutes into extra time and first leg hero second half substitute Vassilis Tsartas lashed home a shot from 25 yards that silenced Easter Road. Just before the break he scored a second direct from a corner to pile on the agony
HIBS substitute David Zitelli scored a 35 yard screamer that can only be described as an Exocet with six minutes to go
The game is best remembered for Franck Sauzee booting the dug out when he had to come off injured after 80 minutes and probably the first and best ever rendition of Sunshine on Leith ever heard at Easter Road

All Scotland must salute Super HIBS. The Easter Road side in a night of magic gave full warning to the rest of Europe that they have well and truly arrived with a fantastic six hit performance over Sporting
The 26000 fans who roared themselves hoarse will never forget a second half that will go down in the history books. For HIBS took this Cup Winners Cup tie and their talented Portuguese opponents by the throat and converted a first leg 1-2 defeat into a magnificent triumph
Their courage was immense and in a tense first half they got the goal they so desperately needed another superb Alan Gordon header. Fate dealt HIBS a cruel blow right on the whistle for half time when a deflection off Referee Meannig sent Marinho racing away and his centre was easily converted by Portuguese superstar Yazalde to snatch a shock equaliser and valuable away goal
Shooting downhill second half HIBS seemed to have a mountain to climb but encouraged by one of Eddie Turnbull’s famous half time pep talks and roared on by their fans they stormed back with scintillating soccer
In just eight minutes of soccer magic Sporting’s European Cup Winners Cup dream lay in tatters
Three minutes after the restart Jimmy O’Rourke raced on to a Gordon head flick to blast the ball past Damas. As the Easter Road crowd roared HIBS on Gordon struck again. An Arthur Duncan cross found him soaring above the Portuguese defence and Damas was beaten to the world. Another four minutes and HIBS were undoubtedly back in the European big time. John Brownlie who minutes earlier had hit a 35 yarder against a post flicked a through ball for O’Rourke to step in and score from close range.
Ten minutes from time Arthur Duncan was brought down inside the box by a frustrated Gomes and Jimmy O’Rourke stepped up to complete his hat-trick from the spot
To complete a night of misery with only seconds to go Portuguese superstar Manaca turned a Duncan shot past his own keeper for an own goal
To say HIBS were magnificent would be an understatement this result was a declaration of intent by Hibernian Football Club and sent shock waves throughout Europe

This Luna chance at the end changes every time I read about it on here. It wasn't a diving header at all. Its at 4.40 on the video below :greengrin
I'd be blaming Colgan far more than Luna. Very poor on both their goals.

A fine game in which HIBS secured their first home win since February.
A late Cillian Sheridan strike for the Saints gave a false impression to the score line and detracted from Hibs’ overall superiority in this game
Hibs took the lead on 17 minutes when Ivan Sproule shot home following good work by Junior Agogo. St Johnstone equalised through future HIBS Captain Liam Craig whose shot on goal entered the net via the inside of the post. HIBS regained the lead on 37 minutes when Garry O’Connor found himself surrounded in the box but the ball fell invitingly for him and he fired the ball low and powerfully into the net from 16 yards
Into the second half and 15 minutes in O’Connor was bundled over in the box by David McCracken and O’Connor stepped up and converted the penalty kick
Sheridan scored a fine individual effort for Saints with two minutes remaining

A disastrous start to the season saw Alex Miller resign as Hibernian Manager following an easy 3-1 victory for Hearts at Easter Road after almost 10 years at the helm
A devisive character amongst HIBS fans he brought many good players to Easter Road won a League Cup during a difficult time in our history but was criticised for his defensive tactics and managerial style
He would subsequently go on to win the UEFA Champions League 2005 and FA Cup 2006 with Liverpool as First Team Coach

Leading 3-2 from the first leg Eddie Turnbull was taking no chances and fielded his strongest team against the Norwegians but in a fast start to the game Odd Iversen eluded his marker and fired his team ahead after 15 minutes
With the crowd stunned now that the aggregate was 3-3 HIBS showed their spirit and their skill.
In 19 minutes Joe Harper equalised with a superbly taken goal. In 20 minutes Iain Munro put HIBS ahead with another first class effort and in 22 minutes Rosenborg knew it was all over when Harper headed a third
From then on it was a procession but the goals were well planned and clinically executed that is if you excuse HIBS’ fourth a lob by Munro that spun out of goalkeeper Thunshell’s hands. Pat Stanton added a fifth to make the half-time score 5-1.
The fans chanted for 7 and they got it too when Alex Cropley scored twice from the penalty spot
Headers from Stanton and Gordon made it nine the only blot on Hibs’ copybook being a booking for Joe Harper

The Yugoslavs proved to be a better and more determined team than the side HIBS had beaten 3-0 so comprehensively in Belgrade and they shocked the Easter Road side when Popivoda scored after only 4 minutes.
For a while Olimpija were the much better team but HIBS began to claw their way back into the game
As the Yugoslavs grew more and more frustrated they began to hack and kick at our most skilful players Marinello, Cormack and Stevenson and this was ultimately to cost them the game
Midway through the second half HIBS were awarded a penalty for hand ball in the box a decision that was hotly disputed by the Yugoslavs and the game was held up for several minutes
Once order was restored Joe Davis coolly dispatched the spot kick into the net
This proved to be the catalyst for the Yugoslavs to once again surround the Referee and push and shove him.
Minutes later Jovanovic was sent off for the latest of several savage fouls on Peter Marinello
The culptrit was hardly off the pitch when Eric Stevenson was pulled down inside the box by Kokot leaving the Referee no option but to award a second penalty of the evening
This time there were no protests and Davis duly stepped up and dispatched the penalty past the Yugoslav keeper

Defending a 3-0 lead from the first leg things looked rosy for HIBS when Joe Davis converted a penalty in only two minutes after Colin Stein had been fouled inside the box. Cue pushing and shoving of the Referee by the Portuguese players immediately after the award
With 10 minutes remaining of the first half Peter Cormack was sent off following a melee with his immediate marker who had punched Cormack in the face after not being happy with one of his tackles. Once again the Referee was surrounded by unhappy Porto players and both players eventually saw red
Into the second half and Porto scored two goals on the hour in quick succession to change the whole complexion of the game. The Portuguese were pressing forward in numbers and scored a third through Valdir with twenty minutes remaining but a much relieved HIBS side managed to hold on

Hibs were starting to play some fantastic stuff but just could not add to their lead. Into injury time and as is so often the case Tommy Gemmell overlapped down the right wing skipped past a few desperate challenges sent over a cross cum shot that cannoned off Willie Wilson and fell nicely at the feet of Bobby Lennox who fired home the equaliser to take the game into extra time

In the LC semi we were 2-1 up with seconds to go. Jim Scott had the ball on the touchline about half way & was holding it up. The Celtc players couldn't get it off him so Tommy Gemmell lost the rag & booted Jim on to the track. While Hibs waited for the free kick a Celtc player grabbed the ball & threw it down the line to Gemmell on the left wing not the right, & Lennox scored. Probably the worst decision I have ever seen. We lost the replay 4-0, big John was sent off & booted Jock Stein on his way up the tunnel!Quote:
