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

6/1/1951 Scottish League Division One

Raith Rovers 1 v 3 Hibernian

Johnstone
Smith 2

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

Sums Darren McCormack up that game. Hibs just score, right on top, and he hits the guy back and both down to 10. We win easily if he uses his brain and hits the deck.

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.

Fair play to Albion they stuck to their game plan and Guy equalised inside a minute

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

Morton’s pressure finally paid off in fifty five minutes when Smith fired low into Wilson’s net

Within 90 seconds of the restart HIBS had gone two in front Collins’ short corner was sent over by Mitchell and Alan Sneddon of all people rose at the near post to propel a powerful header past Maxwell

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.

I think he was first spotted when we played Deveronvale in a pre season friendly.

I did not realise how good Des Bremner was until he left

Andy Kirk headed Dunfermline ahead on 13 minutes following an excellent delivery from Joe Cardle

Hibs equalised when after a period of sustained pressure Dunfermline failed to clear their lines and Leigh Griffiths latched onto a David Wotherspoon header to calmly slot an angled shot beyond Turner

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

On This Day In History

1939 Sammy Kean scores the HIBS goal in a 1-1 draw against a very good and difficult to beat Rangers side in front of 31000 at Easter Road

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

1928 Hibs lose 1-2 away to Bo’ness

Bo’ness would disappear in 1933 and HIBS would not return to West Lothian until 1995 versus Livingston/Meadowbank Thistle

Wembley Wizard Jimmy Dunn scored HIBS’ goal that day and he would go on to win the FA Cup with Everton

His son Jimmy Dunn Jnr would also win the FA Cup with Wolves

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

Hibernian 3 v 4 Dundee United

Cormack 2
Quinn pen

HIBS trailed 0-4 at half-time thanks to goals from Dossing 3 and Persson

Hibs fought back however and had a fourth goal and equaliser disallowed as the Referee said he had already blown the final whistle?

Johnstone

That man Yorston again for Aberdeen


16/1/1897 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 3 v 0 St Mirren

A routine win for HIBS against mid table Saints

Hibs would play the same opposition two weeks later at Love Street and would suffer a 0-2 loss

This defeat would cost HIBS the Championship handing the league to second placed Hearts

Loving big Gordon Rae's Hollywood moustache :faf:

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.

Happy Birthday to Derek Riordan

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.
Huns would not have got away with that back then.
I know that for sure !!

The Celtic hordes did fill the whole ground that day ,though.

Such was the severity and viciousness of Hughes’ tackle the game was held up for five minutes as it triggered fighting between rival supporters in the Cowshed behind the Celtic goal

Clyde took the lead but Rab Wall equalised with a cheeky back header James Malloy then had to leave the field of play through injury leaving HIBS down to 10 men Clyde duly raced into a 4-1 half-time lead

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. Their reputation was tarnished that day.
I remember we lost but until I read the article I hadn’t remembered the score.

Saints regained the lead shortly after when the ever dangerous Liam Craig dispossessed Stephens and scored with ease

Griffiths hit the bar with a header from an Eoin Doyle cross before Calum Booth showed him how it should be done when he curled a beauty past Enckelman to score what HIBS thought was a share of the points

Vale Of Leven who had previously won the Scottish Cup were Hibernian’s opponents in the semi-final

The match that was due to take place at the Holy Ground on 15th January was cancelled due to frost and fog at the last minute much to the disappointment of the already gathered large crowd

The match took place one week later and the visitors looking good took an early lead

‘Darling Willie Groves’ then took a hand in proceedings grabbing an excellent equaliser and giving HIBS a second half lead. James Montgomery making sure of a Hibernian win with a third

Hibernian Park erupted in celebrations the slum team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood were in the final of the Scottish Cup Or were they?

Vale of Leven lodged a protest stating that the man who had destroyed them Willie Groves was in receipt of illegal payments accusing him of professionalism a serious charge in those days

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

Hibernian Manager Willie McCartney took unwell during this game

He was driven home where tragically he passed away later that evening

Three months later his young exciting HIBS side would win the League becoming the first team outside the Old Firm to win the League since 1904

Like his father a former Hearts Manager he is credited with signing Tommy Walker for Hearts and the Famous Five for HIBS

It sure was.
You notice the hill behind the main crowd on the film. Its not Arthur Seat !
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.
Hibs had thought of making the ground 70.000 capacity

Anyway, more on that time in this remarkable article.

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 !!

Trams too !!

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.

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

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 achieved their game plan of getting to half-time 0-0 then all hell broke loose

Ivan Sproule hung up a cross to the far post - over Ian Murray- and Garry O’Connor gleefully headed home

O’Connor then flicked a long through ball into the path of Ivan Sproule who buried a low shot into the corner of the net from 18 yards

Celtic were then awarded a penalty that Bobby Collins had to take twice and converted following an infringement

HIBS then lost Tommy Younger to injury and Willie Clark had to take over in goal leaving HIBS down to 10 men

Just before half-time that man McGrory again pulled Bobby Johnstone down in the box step forward Ned to do the needful

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

5/2/2004 Scottish League Cup Semi-Final

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

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

Hibs were on the end of a Scottish Cup shock in this match

Although fielding a strong side - many of the HIBS team would go on to play in the 1923 and 1924 Scottish Cup Finals - HIBS were unable to make the most of the many chances created and Armadale scored the winner in one of their rare forays up the Park

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

Not longed moved to Singapore. It is Chinese New Year's Eve. I meet a beautiful and spend the day with her. In evening I settle down to watch the game. At 2-0 I get into my pajamas. First we get a goal back. Watching on Hibs TV, Hibs get a corner. A text flashes in from a friend. I know what is coming. Clothes on I head for the corner bar and get very drunk much to the amusement of the locals, seeing in Chinese New Year singing Hibs songs.
