Gretna staged a late fightback with goals from Gavin Skelton 81 and Dr Kenny Deuchar 88 but it all fizzled out when goalkeeper Greg Fleming upended Colin Nish in the penalty box in the 90th minute and was sent off. Steven Fletcher settled the issue once and for all from the penalty spot completing his hat-trick and giving HIBS a valuable win

Turnbull pen
Reilly
In the fifth minute Scotland Captain George Young handled in the box and a penalty was awarded Rangers goalkeeper Bobby Brown trying some 1950’s gamesmanship asked Eddie Turnbull ‘ if he could have a feel of the ba?’
The request was met with a curt response telling him he would get a touch of it in two seconds when he picked it out the back of the net a promise Turnbull kept sending Brown the wrong way
Rangers equalised when Tommy Younger punched the ball into his own net following a cross from McCulloch under pressure from Willie Woodburn
Going into the second half and Younger redeemed himself with two brilliant saves Lawrie Reilly then gave HIBS the lead when following a lightning counterattack he cutely lobbed Brown
George Young equalised for Rangers from the penalty spot late into the game when Howie handled in the box

I was in the The Rangers end for the game that Lewis scored that belter. Courtesy of complementary tickets. We were right behind the director's box. Fortunately their fans were revolting at the time and left after 20 minutes or so in protest at the board.
Couldn't help but jump up when the second goal went in. Lucky man.
A per usual, I was on the Artisan bus to the game at Tannadice and when we got back, everybody was desperate to find out if any of their mates were on the bus that crashed and if they were OK.
I was just a kid and didn't know anybody else that had travelled up but there were quite a few adults from our bus in a bit of a panic.
The game at Tannadice obviously sticks in the minds of a lot of us.
I was in the Arabs' end, with a couple of mates... could've sworn that Sturrock scored for them. TBF, I was buried in an orange mist for a wee while.
In the 4-2 defeat of Gretna,Hibs had a player called Aberaouf Zarabi.I was at that game and have absolutely no recollection of a player of that name.Any background info.
Only played 8 games for us signed from FC Gueugnon sold to NimesQuote:

Thanks Billy.Still can’t remember him.I know your standards are high,but Gretnas goalkeeper that day was Greg Fleming (not Fletcher as stated).Think he still plays at Stranaer.Quote:

Well spotted
I was at the ‘71 cup game at Tynecastle but can’t remember a “Duncan” at left back? Pretty sure it wasn’t Bobby Duncan who was a right back in any case. Can anyone help?
It looks as if we had 3 Duncans that day :greengrinQuote:

I agree that Bobby Duncan was a right back but he appears to take up the left back position at the Hearts free kick and makes himself available for Stanton’s pass before feeding Arthur from the left back side of the pitch
The Manager was Dave Ewing who was a Coach at Man City and had some unorthodox ideas :wink:
Bobby Duncan came in for Mervyn Jones who seemed to drop out of the picture for a few weeks before being reintroduced

Wembley 83 took the biscuit. 24 hour round trip with a 4 hour stop for the game. I never knew trains stopped for lights so often. Got to my bed before anybody else by exiting at the old Piershill station.Quote:

Hugh Howie gave away a series of penalties for handball including two against East Fife in a League Cup semi at Tynecastle-lost 3-2-For ever after known as Hans Howie. One cap for Scotland-scored a goal.
Giving away a penalty at Ibrox in the last few minutes especially when the Referee has already awarded a penalty to the opposition looks mighty suspicious no ? :wink:Quote:
