Hibernian secured second place in the Championship and a Premiership playoff semifinal berth by beating Falkirk
Alan Stubbs’s side knew a win would guarantee them the runners up spot and took an early lead when Boyle intercepted a pass near halfway exchanged passes with Scott Allan before tucking safely home
Falkirk tried to bounce back and were unsuccessful with attempts from Tom Taiwo which took a deflection past the post and two headed attempts from John Baird and Craig Sibbald who had scored the Bairns winner in the recent Scottish Cup Semi Final at Hampden
Just before half time the Falkirk defence failed to clear a cross and Cummings calmly collected and rounded Jamie McDonald with ease before tapping home
HIBS lost Jordon Forster to an ankle injury early into the second half but it did not unsettle their rhythm and Dominic Malonga caught the Bairns defence up the park on 77 minutes as they chased a way back into the game to calmly take a Cummings pass in his stride to race clear and confidently place the ball beyond the advancing MacDonald to secure all three points

Hibernian took a big step towards Scottish Premier League survival after victory over Aberdeen moved them five points clear of the relegation spot
Griffiths proved key when he drilled the ball across the six yard line for the unfortunate Mark Reynolds to deflect into his own net on seven minutes. HIBS were dominating and OHanlon flicked a header into the back of the net from a Griffiths corner to double the visitors’ advantage 10 minutes later
Aberdeen striker Scott Vernon volleyed home after Gavin Rae set him up with a header early into the second half but despite looking nervy HIBS survived a few narrow escapes and held on to take all three points
2/5/1998 Scottish League Premier Division
Hibernian 1 v 2 Dundee United
Brebner
Failure to beat Dunfermline the week after the Hearts game was really the final straw for HIBS Even a creditable draw with Celtic, still short of blocking Rangers ten in a row, was no good as first Dunfermline and then Aberdeen both won crucial games to take them out of reach. Dundee United themselves had been sucked into the relegation battle and defeat here would have left them facing Rangers to guarantee survival
Hibs led for forty minutes after Brebners goal on the half hour but capitulated in the last twenty minutes to two late Kjell Olofsson strikes which came much against the run of play HIBS had all the possession but couldn’t deliver a second goal that might have sealed victory Looking at the final table it is that inability to win which did for us We didn’t concede the most goals nor lose the most matches nor throw more points away in draws We were equal scorers and we could only win six out of thirty six games that was the legacy Jim Duffy’s shambolic reign had left us we had just forgotten how to win
I do not think I have ever been so scunnered after a HIBS match sick to the pit of my stomach as the two late United goals went into the HIBS rigging leaving my wee boy in tears and shattering the hopes of the 13000 + HIBS fans in the late afternoon sunshine
As I said before being a HIBS fan it is the hope that kills you
I remember the Arab players and fans being delighted and almost apologetic at the final whistle

Cowan pen
Dundee 2 v 0 Hearts
Kidd 2
I remember being one of the 3500 that rocked up to Easter Road that sunny afternoon for a run of the mill end of the season league game versus Dundee United my heart full of dread for the night that lay ahead as a confident but unknown to me virus ridden Hearts team headed to Dens Park only needing ONE point to lift the Premiership
I was in my usual position in the old North Enclosure downhill end when the ball went out for a throw in for United beside us late into the second half. As the United player was wrestling with the bouncing ball trying to take a quick throw in Albert Kidd was spinning in the Hearts box scooping a loose bouncing ball from a Dundee corner high into the top of the Hearts net The ructions started in the North Wing Stand above me next thing I know complete strangers were jumping on me shouting “Dundee have scored” This went all around the ground spreading to the East which turned into an audible roar as if a goal had just been scored The United player about to take the throw in hesitated as if there was something he was missing giving the Ref a quick glance before carrying on with his throw in
This phantom roar was to be repeated a second time minutes later as Albert Kidd sasheyed deep into the Hearts box completing a one two with ex Hibby Graeme Harvey before burying the ball with great aplomb past a disconsolate Henry Smith who never had a save to make in the whole of the first half now found himself picking the ball out of the net for a second time his and Hearts’ title dreams lying in tatters

Late in the game with the scores tied the Hearts keeper Gordon Marshall pulled off a wonder save to deny Fraser his second and Hibs’ fourth but at least a vital point was saved and HIBS lived to fight another day and things got even better when the news filtered through that Celtic had defeated Clyde

Was the Jason miss, I assume when he hit the bar from almost on the goal line, not in the earlier league game? Reason it sticks in my mind is if JC had scored, & everything else remained the same, we would have been 2nd in league & avoided 1st play off games. I could be completely wrong though!! 😁Quote:

There is also this miss but not it either then again might be?

Motherwell 6 v 6 Hibernian
Nish 3
Stokes 2
Riordan
Hibs took the lead after a flowing move in the 11th minute when Nish converted David Wotherspoon’s low cross from close range but Motherwell were level in the 16th minute. Jutkiewicz beat Ian Murray inside the box and cut the ball across the face of goal for Giles Coke to smash home his first goal for the club
Hibernian took just four minutes to regain the lead when Nish’s scuffed shot from eight yards squeezed under John Ruddy’s body HIBS moved further ahead when a slack passback by Coke was seized upon by Riordan who rounded Ruddy and although pushed wide managed to squeeze the ball home from a tight angle
Nish completed his hat-trick in the 36th minute the former Kilmarnock striker slid Riordan’s low cross into the bottom corner which prompted some Motherwell fans to head for the exits but their team pulled a goal back in the 39th minute when Sutton headed Jim O’Brien’s right wing cross into the bottom corner
Motherwell’s hopes of a comeback were undone in the 56th minute as Stokes stroked home at the far post and he grabbed his second in the 65th minute when he diverted Riordan’s driven cross home at the near post
The home side maintained the scoring rate two minutes later when Coke redeemed himself by netting a rebound after O’Brien’s 25 yard drive had cannoned off the post before the goals tally moved into double figures in the 72nd minute when Smith fumbled Hateley’s inswinging free-kick over his line
Sutton then reduced the deficit to one as he towered above the HIBS defence to head home O’Brien’s corner Motherwell then got a penalty in the 87th minute when Smith was adjudged to have brought down Jutkiewicz in the box but he redeemed himself diving to his left to parry away Forbes’ effort
The scoring was not finished however when in the second minute of injury time Jutkiewicz latched on to a long ball and unleashed a worldy volley from an acute angle into Smith’s faraway top corner
Not an ideal result from a HIBS point of view at the time it felt like a kick in the nuts and three points definitely lost rather than a point gained On the bright side we were part of one of the best games ever in the SPL the highest aggregate score and even better we ended up finishing fourth and qualifying for Europe thanks to an excellent away win at Dundee United and a double from Colin Nish four days later

Thanks again for another day in this great thread! However, the scoring sequence in the Dons gemme isn't right. Hibs were 2 up at ht (brilliant free kick from Rice). They equalised in injury time; as you say, Rough was fouled (if memory serves me correct one or possibly two Dons sat on him while they put the ball in the net!).Quote:

Only seems like last week but this game played in a friendly atmosphere marked the culmination of a three year slog in the second tier Roared on by a huge home support in celebratory mood HIBS flew into action and should have been ahead after only three minutes John McGinn floated a ball into the box which was knocked down by Holt to the onrushing Shinnie but the midfielders effort soared over the bar HIBS winger Martin Boyle then used his searing pace to speed clear of his marker but slipped as he was about to pull the trigger
Knowing a point would keep them safe St Mirren rarely threatened but they did have claims for a penalty waived away by referee Alan Muir after Lewis Morgan tumbled down in the box under a challenge from David Gray
The dynamic changed less than five minutes after the interval when Holt reacted first to McGinn’s ball into the box and although there may have been a touch by Saints defender Gary McKenzie the Hibernian striker will claim the goal
Ross reacted with a tactical switch pushing last weekend’s hat-trick scorer Stevie Mallan upfront to support striker Loy - a move that paid off with half an hour to play Kyle Maginnis drove into the box and played in Mallan who in turn found Loy and the on-loan Dundee striker fired home from 16 yards
With 10 man Raith Rovers beating Ayr United - that strike joyously greeted by the 1800 travelling support - ensured Saints escaped a second bottom finish and a relegation play off
HIBS top scorer Jason Cummings had a late chance to score the winner but his shot whistled inches wide of Billy O’Brien’s left hand post and as Muir blew the final whistle both sets of fans were able to celebrate for very different reasons

A Jackie MacNamara double had Celtic ahead at half time and this was no different in the second half with Larrson, Stubbs (scoring with a header after being out with serious illness for several months ) and Moravcik piling on the agony

HIBS had the game by the scruff of the neck after the break but it took the introduction of Kevin Harper for Kevin McAllister 12 minutes into the second half to give them that cutting edge
The little striker took a mere six minutes to slice open Hearts defence with a run and cross that Mickey Weir bulleted home at the back post Then Weir whose brilliant close control gave Hearts problems all day released Wright to score the killer second four minutes later While Hearts were still recovering from that blow Kevin Harper was tapping home hibs’ third after Craig Nelson had brilliantly parried a Pat McGinlay drive into his path
Tommy McLean felt the turning point was a magnificent Jim Leighton save from Hagen shortly before HIBS notched their equaliser but in reality the game turned on his side’s reaction to losing that leveller to little Mickey Weir

It was not to be however and the vastly more experienced and excellent Celtic side dominated throughout and easily won this match. HIBS went into the second half only 1-2 down after Alan Gordon had pulled a goal back and Eddie Turnbull decided to throw caution to the wind. As the HIBS jerseys surged forward the clinical Celtic forwards took advantage of the large gaps that appeared in the HIBS defence. HIBS were unlucky not to score but did not do themselves justice it was a hard lesson learned the better team on the day had won and in his post match interview Eddie Turnbull told the waiting media “We’ll be back!”

Hibernian defeated Raith Rovers at Easter Road to overcome a 0-1 first leg deficit and set up a semi-final clash with Falkirk
Hibs got off to a blistering start after just 7 minutes when a blocked Anthony Stokes shot fell kindly to McGinn and his strike took a big deflection to loop over the stranded Cuthbert and into the net. It was to get even better for the Hibees just four minutes later as McGregor lost his marker Craig Barr at a Henderson corner to power home a header and put HIBS ahead in the tie
Hibs continued to press but Raith Rovers came more into the game second half. The HIBS defence held firm however and David Gray was unlucky with 6 minutes to go when he got onto the end of a McGinn free kick with a diving header only to see his attempt come crashing back off the post

HIBS got off to the perfect start when Tom Soares’ deep free-kick was head flicked on by McPake and Doherty nipped in to beat Smith with a header thanks to the aid of a post. Doherty was the provider for the hosts’ second getting the break of the ball and chipping across for Doyle to head home. It got worse for Jim Jeffries’ side when Austin McCann was penalised for grappling with Hanlon and birthday boy Garry OConnor stroked the spot kick into the net
Dunfermline tried to respond and HIBS goalkeeper Mark Brown pulled off two good saves from McMillan
Into the second half and the frantic pace continued as Dunfermline tried to get back into the game Eoin Doyle missed an open goal as Isaiah Osbourne laid the ball on a plate for him totally missing the ball in front of goal
A free-kick from distance gave Martin Hardie the chance to test Brown and the veteran’s shot rebounded off the post back off the keeper and out for a corner
Doyle had a header cleared off the line before Paul Hanlon sealed the deal thanks to another excellent assist from Osbourne when his thumping drive hit the underside of the bar and appeared to bounce down this side of the line but the assistant referee awarded the goal

Czaba Laszlo’s men are now just a point ahead of Dundee United with three games left and the automatic Europa League place that looked theirs a few days ago is now in serious jeopardy To make matters worse they will almost certainly be hit in the pocket after a few of their fans couldn’t take Derek Riordan’s winning goal and jumped on the pitch to try to get at the HIBS striker. All in all it was a night to forget for the home team they were booed off the park by their own support but the noise was almost drowned out by the joyous outpouring from the HIBS end as Steve Conroy blew the final whistle
They celebrated Riordan’s 77th penalty like it was a title clincher
Riordan wasn’t the only hero for HIBS Ian Murray was magnificent as hearts laid a late seige on their goal and in the middle Lewis Stevenson and Ross Chisholm outplayed the much vaunted Bruno Aguiar and Michael Stewart and the last line of defence the much maligned Yves Ma-Kalambay was terrific
There was a place on the bench for young Jordan Cropley son of Easter Road legend Alex but they could have been doing with the guile and know how of his father in his heyday as this team was dreadfully short of experience
Hearts had yet to beat HIBS in the three league meetings this season and Laszlo stoked the prematch fire by insisting that Hearts were better than HIBS at every sport and it was up to his players to prove it and they were given a raucous welcome by their fans who clearly believed the depleted Easter Road team were there for the taking
Their favourites started like they believed it too ripping into the HIBS boys testing their resolve right from the off The first 10 minutes was one way traffic yet HIBS survived the onslaught with Steven Thicot making a couple of vital headed clearances On 11 minutes Lee Wallace thundered into the HIBS box setting up Callum Elliot who should have scored but Makalamby easily saved his tame effort Hearts had a strong wind behind them but there was a lack of subtlety to their play and they almost paid the price when Alan OBrien broke clear sliding the ball along the 18 yard line to Riordan who stepped inside and curled a shot through Zaliukas’ legs and towards the bottom left hand corner of Kello’s goal the keeper plunged low to turn it aside but it was a sign that HIBS could be potent on the counter
Riordan was becoming increasingly influential for HIBS and almost scored direct from a corner forcing the flapping Kello to tip it over for another corner. Laszlo had seen enough and after only half an hour he brought on Nade for the ineffective Jonsson
It was all Hearts at the start of the second half but the makeshift HIBS midfield of Stevenson Rankin and Caldwell held firm and continued to look very composed under pressure On 55 minutes OBrien shot wide from the edge of the box and Hearts responded with their best move of the match which left Christian Nade with an open goal from six yards out however David Van Zanten appeared from nowhere to boot the ball to safety. Laszlo’s men came even closer in the 63rd minute when Nade’s powerful head flick found Driver 14 yards out who unleashed a powerful drive only to see Makalambay once again get down to turn it around his right hand post
The Hearts fans were getting restless and so too was Michael Stewart who had been completely hustled out of the match by Lewis Stevenson even complaining to the Referee about a lack of protection but the youngster had done nothing wrong he was playing a blinder HIBS did not worry about that and with 13 minutes to go they were 1-0 up and Hearts were down to 10 men A punt up the park by Makalambay a dart behind Christos Karapidis by Riordan into the box getting ahead of the Greek hauled down in the box penalty to HIBS and a red card to the last man
Riordan calmly sent Kello the wrong way from 12 yards and as some of the HIBS support spilled on to the track to celebrate a couple of hearts fans came out of the Wheatfield Stand and made for Riordan

Amadou Konte’s 90th minute goal rescued a point for third placed HIBS after a Stephen Craigan double had given Motherwell a two goal lead
The Well skipper opened the scoring when he netted from a Brian Kerr corner Craigan grabbed his second just after the break in similar fashion when he rose once again to meet a Kerr corner heading beyond Brown from 14 yards
Craigan then went from hero to zero when he pulled Dean Shiels down in the box but Garry O’ Connor let him off the hook as Marshall dived to his left to brilliantly tip his effort over the bar
Tony Mowbray’s side were back in the game nine minutes from the end when Gary Caldwell curled in a superb 25 yard free-kick. HIBS frantically searched for the leveller but could have lost a third when Jim Hamilton’s fine volley arrowed just past the post
But the equaliser came at the death when substitute Sproule escaped down the right and his cross was swept home at the second attempt by fellow replacement Konte as he lay stretched out on the Fir Park turf

Re the Casper game. Not only were many players missing but our team was completely lopsided, I think 7/10 outfield players were left sided. I doubt we've ever had so many in a team before or since. However they all gave everything & ended up one of our best PBS occasions.
PS, I can't believe you haven't given more prominence to the Mali Magician's thunderbolt equaliser at Well. :wink:
Definitely down the slope.
I remember the Hun game very well too, pretty sure it was the final game of the season. I was on crutches as I'd broken my ankle playing rugby and after the game there was no segregation down Albion Rd. Der Hun as was their usual charged along towards the Hibbies leaving that way. I was just at the corner where the advertising board is and it was pretty scary at the time. As there was no chance of running, the crutches were readied as weapons to try to repel any Hun. Thankfully by the time they got anywhere near me the fat hun *******s were out of breath and just gave up the chase. I was only 14 at the time!

Russell Latapy and Franck Sauzee combined to give HIBS the lead when Latapy rolled a free-kick to the big Frenchman who unleashed a trademark 40 yard screamer right into the top postage stamp. Mon Dieu! Paul Hartley doubled HIBS lead in the second half finishing off a fine move. Crabbe did eventually get his goal but his consolation goal for the Bairns didn’t spoil the party The Referee blew the final whistle and there was a good natured pitch invasion Most moving was the joy on the faces of John Hughes and Pat McGinlay who a year earlier had been in tears as HIBS were relegated

Tuesday 8th May was VE Day Victory in Europe Day - the surrender of Germany ended the war in Europe although conflict in the Far East still continued. Bobby Combe had been reported missing by the Army and it was not known if the young man was dead or alive For a couple of months now Bobby had in fact been a prisoner of war in the notorious German Sandbostel camp near Bremen He had recently been rescued and the first thing he did within 24 hours of arriving home was to present himself at the Holy Ground. Willie McCartney immediately included him in the team as captain for the Rosebery Charity Cup Final against Hearts at Easter Road on Wednesday 9th May
In this “VE Celebration Game “corners counted and after 90 minutes with the score at 2-2 and HIBS leading 7-6 on corners they lifted the Cup The HIBS team that day was Mitchell Downie Jock Govan Alex Hall Willie Finnigan Bobby Baxter Sammy Kean Gordon Smith Bobby Combe Jock Weir Willie Peat and Jimmy Caskie

Hibernian sealed a European qualification spot thanks to a Colin Nish double against a Dundee United side that had one eye on the Scottish Cup Final Hibernian made one change to the team that lost six goals in midweek to Motherwell in the match that shell-shocked Britain with Sol Bamba returning to the defence in place of Paul Hanlon
Anthony Stokes had the first opportunity of the match following a mistake by Gary Kenneth but shot straight at Pernis Strike partner Colin Nish went one better soon after deflecting the ball under the United goalkeeper following a one-two between Liam Miller and David Wotherspoon
United were taking time to settle into the game but Kenneth almost gave the home support something to cheer when his header from Danny Swanson’s corner was headed off the line by David Wotherspoon Derek Riordan almost doubled HIBS advantage with a shot that deceived Pernis before Stokes once again shot straight at the goalkeeper when put through by Nish
The home side went so close to snatching a leveller just before the break when Damian Casalinuovo got on the end of David Robertson’s freekick but his header flashed just wide
Out of nowhere John Rankin blasted in a snapshot that cannoned off the base of the post with Pernis beaten HIBS kept pushing for the second unaware of Motherwell’s result at Ibrox and Riordan almost got it with a thunderous shot that stung the hands of the outstretched Pernis
With the game seemingly petering out but still 18 minutes to go Colin Nish stooped to head home his second goal of the match after beating Kenneth to the ball from Steven Thicot’s cross
At the full time whistle news filtered through that Motherwell could only manage a draw at Ibrox and HIBS were back in Europe

Controversially HIBS should have had a penalty when the grounded David McCracken used an arm to take the ball away from John McGinn inside the penalty area however the match officials missed the infringement That would prove to be a highly significant moment as minutes later a long ball into the HIBS box was struck by Falkirk substitute McHugh on the turn and goalkeeper Logan allowed the ball to squirm under his body and over the line

Hibernian 0 v 1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock assured themselves of top flight football next season by beating Hibernian consigning their opponents to a relegation play-off against Hamilton Academicals
Kris Boyd got the crucial goal for the visitors in a match dominated for long spells by the home side
This was Hibs’ 13 th match without a victory dating back to mid February and there can be little doubt their form over that period is that of relegation fodder
They sat seventh and six points clear of then 11th placed Kilmarnock when Terry Butcher took over in November and apart from a short spell in which the new Manager seemed to have turned things around they have arguably looked an even more dispirited and shambolic outfit than under Pat Fenlon
Toothless upfront their dominance of this match particularly in the early stages was undermined by an incapability in front of goal coupled by some doughty defending by Kilmarnock when necessary
With a touch of good fortune HIBS could have been ahead on two or three occasions with Jordon Forster’s top corner bound drive flicked past the post by the head of Vitalis Maksimenko. From the corner Scott Robertson who had already forced Craig Samson into a decent save glanced a header goalwards only for Barry Nicholson to head off the line
Both sides had plausible penalty claims turned away by referee CRAIG THOMSON one for a shove on Michael Nelson and the other a trip on Boyd before Killie got their noses in front Kris Boyd sweeping in a low Ross Barbour cross just inside Ben Williams ‘ right hand post
Kilmarnock had spells of good possession in the second half but again their goal was the one under greater threat Hibernian captain Liam Craig coming closest with a ferocious drive from 20 yards that hit the underside of the bar and away to safety There were also a couple of almighty stramashes in the box that Kilmarnock somehow survived without conceding but in truth Hibernian’s season long problems in front of goal were their downfall once again

Celtic 1 v 0 Rangers
McCluskey 107
This match represented the last chance of domestic success in the 1979/80 season for the traditionally dominant Old Firm as Aberdeen had won the Scottish League Championship and Dundee United had won the League Cup. Rangers went into the match as bookmakers favourites as Celtic were missing Tom McAdam and Roddie MacDonald from their line up
Roy Aitken and Mike Conroy were drafted in as makeshift central defenders but they were effective in nullifying the Rangers attack for the first 90 minutes Celtic scored the winning goal in extra time when George McCluskey deflected a wayward shot by Danny McGrain into the Rangers goal past Peter McCloy
At the full time whistle the Celtic players went to celebrate with their supporters some of the Celtic supporters climbed the perimeter fences and went to celebrate with their players on the pitch - an investigation by the SFA found that this initial invasion was a spontaneous if misguided expression of joy. Some of the Rangers fans had stayed behind despite their teams defeat. One of the Celtic fans grabbed a ball and kicked it into the goal at the Rangers end in response to this some Rangers fans invaded the pitch to charge at the Celtic fans who in turn confronted their rivals. Bricks bottles and cans were soon being thrown along with fans using iron bars and wooden staves from terracing frames as weapons The police had insufficient manpower inside the stadium to quell the disorder Match commentator Archie MacPherson described the riot as like a scene from Apocalypse Now or the Battle of Passchendaele
Both clubs were fined £20000, 200 arrests were made Celtic blamed Strathclyde Police for their handling of the riot The vast majority of Police Officers were outside the ground The police blamed Celtic fans for the disorder a position Rangers agreed with. Celtic cited the underlying hostility between the two sets of fans caused by sectarianism in Glasgow Celtic also stating that their team consisted of both Catholics and Protestants
George Younger ( The Secretary of State for Scotland) blamed alcohol and the actions of the Celtic players for the riot
An act of Parliament was passed that banned the sale of alcoholic beverages within Scottish Sports grounds

A disputed Eamonn Brophy penalty was enough to settle a typically tight meeting between Hibernian and Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Paul Heckingbottom made two changes to his starting line-up with Hibernian Academy graduate Fraser Murray handed his first start of the season and Flo Kamberi returning to the starting lineup Daryl Horgan and Ryan Gauld made way for the pair
Ofir Marciano was called into action early on to deal with a firm strike from Alex Bruce which he gathered at the second attempt At the other end Marc McNulty and Stephane Omeonga combined well before laying the ball into the path of Kamberi but Greg Taylor was alert to cut out the danger
With 20 minutes on the clock Omeonga was involved again cutting in from the left to curl a shot that was easily dealt with by Daniel Bachmann The hosts edged closer with Brophy blazing over and Taylor’s attempted cross bouncing back off Marciano’s bar Marciano displayed his incredible reflexes again on the half hour mark to tip Alan Power’s header round the post drawing applause from the home and away supporters
Killie however were not to be denied and took the lead from the spot when Alex Bruce was adjudged to have been dragged down in the box by David Gray by Referee Andrew Dallas when it looked the other way about Eamonn Brophy made no mistake from the spot The Under-21 Scotland striker blew the chance to double their lead when put through one on one but dragged his effort wide
Heckingbottom rolled the dice with a triple substitution after 65 minutes with Horgan Shaw and Agyepong replacing Kamberi McNulty and Omeonga. Shaw threatened after indecision between Bruce and Bachmann but the goalkeeper eventually took charge of the situation
With a couple of minutes left on the clock it looked like Agyepong had snatched a late leveller after he jinked his way in from the left before unleashing a ferocious strike Bachmann however was in fine form and somehow tipped over to secure all three points for his team
”It’s not a penalty. That’s not the reason we lost the game. We lost the game because we were rubbish. There’s nothing more to say we looked like a team that had nothing to play for “

Throughout the first half the tackling was just short of dangerous and Michael Weir and David Cooper were the best players in their respective sides and both did well to avoid injury
With Gordon Rae commanding in the middle of the HIBS defence HIBS coped with Rangers attacks admirably Iain Munro and Alan Sneddon provided drive from the full back positions Paul Kane worked intelligently in support of Weir and Callachan and the pace and control of Joe McBride brought a pace and tireless response from the strikers Gordon Durie and Willie Irvine whose sheer strength and stamina never ceases to amaze
Rangers plight was summed up in the 38th minute when Craig Paterson plagued by injury and only just returned from another lay-off was wrong footed by a cross from the line by Durie and used a hand to deflect the ball. Kane stroked the penalty sweetly past Nicky Walker
The second half produced some crowd trouble when rival fans managed to invade the segregated section of the main terracing
Cooper and McMinn tried to inspire a late Rangers fight back but Rae and Rough managed to keep them at bay
One of the last games played in front of the old East Terracing
Rangers were a poor side and HIBS won easily with a Paul Kane penalty and Ralph Callachan and Michael Weir pulling the strings in midfield in front of a poor attendance of only 7149
On a sad note news filtered through of the Bradford City Stadium Fire in which 56 fans lost their lives and 265 were injured

St Mirren provided the final home opposition of the season and in a stirring programme note Manager Walter Galbraith pleaded for “a rousing support from the Terracing this afternoon..you can play your part in helping the team” That encouragement was duly forthcoming and the players responded by winning the game 2-1 Baker and Baxter grabbing the goals
With two away games left HIBS needed three points to make sure of safety and that was the worst case scenario based on Clyde winning their one remaining fixture versus Rangers at Shawfield. The game in hand for HIBS involved a potentially tricky visit to Palmerston Park to face Queen of the South A tight pitch and a noisy support would cause problems but a large HIBS support made the journey and the noise they would make would cancel out the home support An early goal settled the nerves and at the end of the game Baker 2 Scott and Eric Stevenson would give the Hibees an emphatic 4-0 win
So we come to the last game of the season with HIBS visiting already relegated Raith Rovers and Clyde entertaining Rangers A huge HIBS support made it over the Forth and they were well rewarded with HIBS recording another emphatic 4-0 win with Baxter 2 Fraser and Baker the marksmen
It was celebrations all around Starks Park as HIBS had avoided relegation and to add to the relief word filtered through that Clyde had failed to beat Rangers
When the celebrations had died down it was sobering to realise that in 34 League games HIBS had won just 8 drawn 9 and lost 17 with 47 goals scored and 67 conceded for a total of just 25 points just two away from the relegation place
Walter Galbraith would have to do better if he wanted to keep his job and that new and better recruits were required

In celebration of the forthcoming coronation of Queen Elizabeth 11 the top eight British sides of the time would play a knockout competition. Arsenal Manchester United Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur would represent England whilst Rangers Celtic Hibernian and Aberdeen would represent Scotland with all the matches being played in Glasgow
Hibs drew a crowd of 45000 for their first round clash versus Spurs at Ibrox.
As early as the ninth minute HIBS were ahead when Ormond took a short corner to Reilly whose delivery into the box picked out Gordon Smith who made it 1-0. On the brink of half-time Bailey crossed for Walters to head past Younger and that proved to be the last goal of the game despite there being an additional 30 minutes played to find a winner
It is worth pointing out that a new lighter ball was used and both sides struggled to adapt
The replay was 24 hours later at the same venue in front of a much-reduced attendance Defences were on top until the 28th minute when McClellan fired home to put Spurs 1-0 up
The second half witnessed HIBS taking command of the game and so it was no surprise when Govan’s free-kick was smacked into the net by the predatory Reilly Then a superb drive by Smith was tipped over the bar by Reynolds and you got the feeling a winner should come from the Edinburgh men and it did on the ninetieth minute when Johnstone’s inch perfect cross was met by the head of Lawrie Reilly and the ball flew past Reynolds into the net to put HIBS into the semi-final against Newcastle United

The 11 May 1963 2 1 win over St Mirren deserves more than a footnote. We were 2nd bottom of the league & were odds on to go down. IIRC we were 1 down to a goal from Tom White, brother of John & a future Hawrts 'star'. We fought back to win 2 1 then went to Q of S & Raith in our last 2 games & won 4 0 in both. We avoided relegation by 2 points having gained 26% of our points in those last 3 games. The final game at Raith was an "exuberant" party.
Remember it well ! I was a wee school laddie, went over on the train with my dad and uncles.Quote:

In the event Rangers won, 3-1, IIRC & we lived to fight another day. The nest season Jock Stein took over & we won the Summer Cup & the following season we had the chance for the double until Stein left! Some turnaround!Quote:

Story goes Stein wanted to see the season out, Celtic had been at him for months to move. An "ultimatum" was then given that if Stein didn't move there and then the job would never be offered to him again.Quote:

I was in the North Stand that day. Always great to beat those bar stewards no matter the circumstances. Was Kano's goal not a penalty? Think the Huns only got half the Dunbar End, presumably to make it easier to keep them away from the happy Hibbies on the East Terracing.Quote:

At the final whistle, i "dreeped doon"oot the stand to join the exuberance on the pitch.
Wisnae till yrs later i heard suggestions of chicanery /skullduggery/downright dastardly goings on.
To win your final two games by such margins and with ease whilst during all the previous games that season. we managed a handful of wins and were big relegation favourites.
Maybe just pub talk /gossip eh ?
Don’t think it was a pen but I do remember quite a lot of fighting inside and outside the groundQuote:

I'll defer to some of my dad's fellow 'old timers', though 😉.
Stein? It was obvious he would always end up there.Quote:

A bad day at the office for HIBS with defensive lapses costing HIBS dear in this one
A mixed bag of a season HIBS’ cup runs affecting their league form winning the CIS Cup and being knocked out of the Scottish Cup in a semi-final replay versus Dunfermline Athletic

Rangers 0 v 0 Hibernian
This match was eagerly anticipated but on the day was a huge disappointment with both teams cancelling each other out HIBS held their own and looked the more likely in the last 20 minutes coming close on a couple of occasions but the match is probably best remembered for the penalty that never was as Rangers goalkeeper Peter McCloy unceremoniously barged into young Colin Campbell when he was clean through on goal It took a brave man to give a penalty against the old firm in Glasgow in the dying minutes and referee McGinlay waved away the HIBS protests
The attendance was affected by live TV coverage with only 53615 attending
Also worth mentioning the amount of violence and abuse the HIBS support was subjected to throughout the seventies from the Hun horde was unacceptable once again many of our supporters buses would return from Glasgow minus their windows
The match went to a replay on the Wednesday night which once again finished 0-0 after extra time the best chance of the match falling to young Gordon Rae in extra time who seemed to hesitate and the chance was lost
The match went to a second replay which was delayed for 12 days because of the Scotland v England international
The third match started well for HIBS who were the better team and took the lead through Tony Higgins only for Rangers to peg them back Rangers then went ahead just after half time only for HIBS to equalise with an Ally MacLeod penalty with 12 minutes to go
Into extra-time and Jim McArthur saved a Rangers penalty taken by future HIBS boss Alex Miller only for HIBS to go up the park and hit the post. In cruel fashion however the HIBS Scottish Cup Final curse struck once again when long time club servant Arthur Duncan in trying to prevent a curling Davy Cooper cross to the back post reaching a waiting Rangers player he could only succeed in heading the ball into his own goal

Love these. I was only 10 at the time of the cup final and my abiding memory of the day isn't anything that happened on the park. It was the absolute carnage outside after the game. The Hun, helped by the weegie polis were a total disgrace. One of the younger guys in our bus came back looking like he had been in a car crash. The police stood back and watched as Hibbies took lickings and actually stopped Hibs fans getting off the buses to help. Our bust had hardly any windows left by the time we got back to Alloa. Firmly ingrained into me from a pretty young age just how ****my they are as a club and as a support. Absolutely hate them

Just saying likes! :greengrin
The main talk of skullduggery involved the Hearts 3 3 game before the St M game. In the build up they offered us 2 of their outcasts, we told them to bolt but other clubs were suspicious. The Q of S result was a pleasant surprise but Raith was not unexpected. They were miles adrift at the bottom & had lost 10-0 to the Sheep. Cue early exuberance! 😊Quote:

Would Harrower have got involved had we got relegated ?
Did anything occur to assist us in NOT getting relegated ?

13/5/2018 Scottish League Premiership
Hibernian 5 v 5 The Rangers
Kamberi pen
Allan
MacLaren 3
Jamie MacLaren netted a dramatic late equaliser to claim his hat-trick as Hibernian and Rangers shared ten goals in the Easter Road sunshine with the Easter Road side registering their highest ever points total in the top flight in the process
Hibs had to win this match by five goals and raced into an unassailable three goal lead thanks to a Kamberi penalty when MacLaren was pulled down in the box a Scott Allan tap in from a Slivka cut back from a Lewis Stevenson cross and a brilliantly executed MacLaren header from another Stevenson cross
Hibernian almost added the fourth goal they so badly needed but Alnwick pulled off a fantastic save from Whittaker’s strike from John McGinn’s corner The goalkeeper quickly released the ball as Rangers stormed forward on the counter-attack and when Holt rolled the ball into the path of Tavernier he quickly dispatched it behind Rocky
Hibs were undone again when Jamie Murphy threaded a brilliant ball through to Rossiter who drilled it low into the far corner of the net.
Jamie MacLaren was just denied at the other end when he latched onto a stray ball in the Rangers box but Bates got a foot in just in time to concede a corner
Seven minutes from half-time Bruno Alves squared the match when he curled in a stunning free-kick from 25 yards. Jason Cummings almost gave Rangers the lead just before half-time when he latched onto an Ambrose mistake rounded Rocky but thankfully Ambrose got back to clear the danger
Into the second half and Rangers found themselves 5-3 ahead thanks to two fortuitous deflected Jason Holt strikes That should have been it but in typical fashion McGinn drove deep into the Rangers half fed Slivka who teed it up for Jamie MacLaren for a comfortable finish
A remarkable game continued to flow from end to end and with 13 minutes left Hibernian survived a real let off when Whittaker appeared to handle in the box before Darren MacGregor cleared Jamie Murphy’s net bound shot off the line
With five minutes remaining Rangers were reduced to 10 men when Jason Holt was dismissed for a second bookable offence for pulling back John McGinn
In the final minute Alnwick produced a stunning save from McGeouch as Hibernian turned the screw on the beleaguered Rangers defence
Easter Road erupted deep into time added on when Jamie MacLaren turned home a low Brandon Barker cross at the near post high into the Rangers net

Wow, 14th of may is not a good day for Hibs. Thank God that the 2016 cup final was a week later!!
I was at ER the day the sheep won the league. All my family are from Aberdeen and they were all down for the weekend. Was a pretty miserable weekend for a 14 yo Hibbe in a family of sheep
