Raith Rovers 1 v 1 Hibernian
Cummings 60
New Raith Rovers Manager John Hughes got a standing ovation as he took his seat in the Starks Park dug out
Ex Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson gave Raith the lead after 54 minutes when he rifled in a half volley from 22 yards into the top corner of the net. Jason Cummings equalised six minutes later with a wonderful free-kick from just outside the box
HIBS extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points with an admittedly insipid performance that brought this response from Manager Neil Lennon:
”We were an absolute disgrace- a disgrace We had the right colour of jersey on ( yellow) today You can’t turn up and play for 30 minutes We were abject We are going for a title here and trying to extend our lead but we totally disrespected the opponent I am not happy with that at all and that is creeping in far too often “

Scott 42
30000 fans turned up at Easter Road many expecting an upset and to witness Hibernian take on little Berwick Rangers who had knocked out big Rangers at home in the previous round
Many were to leave disappointed as Jim Scott scored the only goal of the game just before half-time
Berwick Rangers’ goalkeeper and Captain Jock Wallace saved a Jim Scott penalty in the latter stages of the match
Berwick had fought bravely but in truth were never in the match and kicked everything that moved HIBS were the better side and had the bulk of the play but Berwick thought they had scored when Thomson Allan clawed away a ball that appeared to have crossed the line half way through the first half
Jim Scott scored with a speculative shot from 20 yards that Wallace appeared to have covered but miscalculated the flight of the ball went down like a carthorse and the ball flew into the empty net
Eric Stevenson relates in his biography that Jock Wallace had told his marker Gordon Haig “ If Stevie goes for a piss at half-time you go with him”
Berwick Rangers left the field of play to a standing ovation in recognition of a gallant cup run in which they had showed determination and true grit but had also played some good football and did not look out of place against higher League opposition

I’m afraid there was no sporting ovation from my part of the ground at the Berwick game! Not only was every tackle a foul but there was a huge amount of off the ball stuff to try and intimidate us which was quite unusual in domestic football then. My memory(probably faulty)is that they had one attempt at goal which was deflected and Thomson Allan had a good save followed by an attempt to kick him as he pulled the ball from the line .

Good memories of Hibernian showing the Continentals and the English that we could play a bit
Against the continentals we have always stood the test .........

Hibs consolidated their position in third place with this fine win over Dundee. Jim Duffy’s side had Tam McManus making his return to Easter Road
Hibs struggled to find their rhythm and twice Dundee forward Steve Lovell came close to scoring. Hibs made the breakthrough however just before half-time when a high ball over the top found Derek Riordan bearing down on goal and although Derek Soutar did well to parry his initial shot Garry O’Connor came rushing in from the angle of the six yard box to fire home
HIBS increased their lead two minutes into the second half. Steven Whittaker ran in from deep his first touch was exquisite as he knocked the ball past his opponent before lashing the ball high into the net with a right footed shot
Dundee had decent chances to get back into the game but these chances were squandered by McManus and Lovell. They would live to regret those chances as a double in two minutes from Steven Fletcher and Garry O’Connor effectively ended the game as a contest
