The New West Stand was still being built when this game took place.
David Zitelli repaid Manager Alex McLeish’s faith in him for restoring him to the starting line-up by firing in a double
Franck Sauzee gave HIBS the lead by firing home a trademark free-kick Ricky Gillies then gave second bottom Buddies the lead by firing in a double with a penalty and a deflected shot either side of half-time
Zitelli then struck with his double the first after Latapy played him in and he fired home off Roy’s left hand post the second when he dispossessed Paul Rudden when he dallied on the ball and fired the ball through the goalkeeper
Latapy settled the game on 80 minutes when he lost possession to Gillies but won it back and tenaciously carried on to fire home a brilliant powerful left footed drive

102342 fans fillied Ibrox to watch this intriguing battle of Rangers’ Iron Curtain Defence versus the imperious Famous Five
Simpson gave the Scottish Cup holders an early lead and Rangers retreated into their shell putting up their defensive wall
This enabled HIBS who had got off to a nervous start to find their rhythm and get their passing game together HIBS equalised just before half-time when Gordon Smith met an Ormond cross on the volley and the ball fairly flew into the Rangers net
Into the second half and HIBS obviously hadn’t learned their lesson from the first half when Simpson scored his and Rangers’ second
Fatally Rangers reverted to type and flooded their defence
HIBS were known for their flexibility and imagination and took the game by the scruff of the neck
Eddie Turnbull equalised with one of his cannonball specials and Rangers now found themselves in a quandary do they stick or twist? Problem was they were now pinned back into their own half unable to get out as the green and white jerseys swarmed around their box
With nine minutes to go HIBS sealed their win
Hibs had a freekick outside the Rangers box Rangers put up a nine man wall Eddie Turnbull lined up for a thunderbolt but he played the ball short to Willie Ormond who quickly passed it to Johnstone who fired home from a tight angle

This game was played at a sodden Hampden Park as Celtic Park was undergoing renovations
Celtic took the lead when Celtic Captain John Collins fired home after 5 minutes.
Jim Leighton thought he had saved the initial attempt but he didn’t get enough on it and watched in agony as it clipped the post on the way in
Hibs equalised when last season’s Celtic FC top scorer Pat McGinlay a £425000 signing in November fired home past Pat Bonnar.
A goal he celebrated by giving Celtic Manager Tommy Burns a long satisfied stare
Celtic were struggling with Kevin Harper’s pace the young striker taking up good position but squandering any chances that came his way
Celtic took the lead early into the second half when Willie Falconer expertly headed home a John Collins cross giving Jim Leighton no chance
Hibs replaced Joe Tortolano with Mark McGraw with ten minutes to go and this change brought immediate rewards when the young striker fired home from the edge of the box past the unsighted Bonnar following a HIBS corner
At the final whistle the players left the field of play to the sound of Hibees! Hibees! ringing in their ears

The sensation of the Peebles game was that Willie Ormond scored an absolute rasper with a right foot shot.An old guy standing beside me claimed he’d never seen him kick the ball with his right foot never mind score.
Little known fact!! Gene Pitney had a huge hit in USA with the theme tune from The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance (written by Burt Bacharach) but the song never featured in the film!Quote:

I had never seen that 2-2 game with Celtc at Hampden, thanks Billy. Typical OF bias with 2 reps from the uglies in the studio. Also, Jock Brown interviews John Collins about Celtc, then 20 seconds into interviewing Jim Leighton about Hibs, he asks him about Celtc!!! Plus ca change!! I also noticed huge swathes of empty seating unoccupied by the greatest fans in the world!Quote:

If you enjoyed that game well worth checking out the Motherwell game in the ‘Marinello’ thread par excellence :greengrin

Hibernian 2 v 1 Dumbarton
Montgomery
Groves
Green shirted Hibernian were first onto the park led by their captain James McGhee and they received a rapturous welcome while Dumbarton in their blue and white striped jerseys were politely welcomed by their supporters who only numbered a few thousand
Hibernian won the toss booked the wind and Dumbarton kicked off on a slippery surface which was very hard underneath Play swung from end to end with defences on top When the forwards did get a chance their shooting was wild and the goalkeepers had very few saves to make Near the end of the first half play became rough and the Referee was kept busy
Play continued in a similar fashion in the second half up until the 60th minute when Aitken put Dumbarton ahead with an unsaveable shot after which they used spoiling tactics to try and hold on to their lead This was a mistake as the Irish crowd roared Hibernian on to one of their famous fight-backs
The forwards responded with some brilliant play and a strong run and angled shot from Phil Clarke which Dumbarton’s international goalkeeper could not hold allowed James Montgomery to follow through and fire home the equaliser
The green Jerseys now went all out for the winner and dominated the game with their strength and skill Following a Dumbarton corner the defence cleverly played the ball to Paddy Lafferty who fed Willie Groves and went on a decoy run down the right wing ‘Darling’ Willie Groves then went on one of his famous mazy dribbling runs that took him right into the heart of the Dumbarton defence and he coolly hit the ball home while Dumbarton vainly tried to claim offside
The celebrating on the terraces was wild For the last ten minutes of the game the noise was indescribable and when the final whistle went the Hibernian players were carried off the field of play shoulder high
There was an air of disbelief about what had just happened Hibernian had done the impossible and had won the greatest prize in Scottish football The poor team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood had actually won the Scottish Cup
