We still would have been without Stanton, Edwards and Blackley for a good few weeks. The were all given chunky suspensions.Quote:

Hibernian 2 v 3 St Johnstone
Griffiths pen
Booth
A seesaw game and a dagger through Pat Fenlon’s heart and HIBS’ survival hopes
Lee Croft opened the scoring for Saints on his debut with an 18 yard finish on the half hour
HIBS had to wait until the 70th minute to equalise when Leigh Griffiths was pushed in the box and duly picked himself up and dusted himself down to convert the award
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
With the clock ticking down Sandaza received a cross from the left swivelled in the box and squeezed a pinpoint shot past Brown to seal all three points

Eddie Turnbull continued his fine scoring form by opening the scoring just after the half hour
Thistle took the lead either side of half-time with goals from McCallum and Gibb but the best goal was yet to come
A corner kick from Ormond was delivered to the back post Gordon Smith controlled the ball with his first touch before sending it crashing into the net off the underside of the bar from an impossible angle

In the game that St J won 3 2 at ER as you say Lee Croft scored their 1st. It came from a Saints break when a midfield player ran into space & David Stephens backed off & off & off. Finally Paul Hanlon ran out past Stephens & threw himself in front of the shot. It was a magnificent block but unfortunately the ball broke to Lee Croft who scored. FFS Hanlon said the guy next to me. Plus ca change! 😁

Jack Ross rung the changes at half-time with the ineffective Slivka and Hallberg being replaced by Omeonga and Newall
The change seemed to work after 10 minutes when Kamberi played a ball inside the full back Martin Boyle scampered onto it chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and watched in agony as the ball rebounded off the post Luckily the ever vigilant Christian Doidge was there to knock the ball home getting there just ahead of Gogic

Derek was denied a hat-trick shortly before half-time when Garry Hay kicked his effort off the line after Combe had parried a Fletcher drive
The third goal arrived when after a pass from that man Glass Riordan drilled a low drive from the left hand side of the box powerfully past Combe

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
It was to roll on to be one of the most bitter and controversial cases ever heard by the SFA
The match result would be upheld and HIBS would win the Scottish Cup for the first time in this season
