Eric Stevenson grabbed the number 9 jersey and kicked off as centre forward.
Rangers debutante fullback Brian Herron couldn’t handle the pace and ball wizardry of Peter Marinello as he ran through the middle of the Rangers defence in the centre forward position - ripping them a new one and scoring two first half goals. Willie Johnston replying for Rangers.

This was my first visit to Ibrox and as a 8 year old,,,, wow, seat in the centre stand with my dad and a work friend of his who was stauncher than staunch. Being 8 I didn't know that you didn't cheer when Hibs scored. It was the fist time I had been called a little fen@@@ barsteward and we were all threatened. I just didn't understand the hate!
I've loathed them ever since. PS we beat them 3 times that season.
Mixu, with a header IIRC, to equalise. I gave up a night out with work that had a free bar to go through. It was also peeing with rain, but none of that was going to stop me paying tribute to a fantastic player. Had a few pints in The Drookit Duck after to dry off!Quote:

A Skol Cup Final dress rehearsal and a match played in brilliant sunshine in front of a deserted East as it was getting a new roof fitted.
Hibs were hoping to transfer their brilliant League Cup form to the League and they got off to the perfect start when Stevie Cowan scored against his old club heading in a Brazil free-kick off the underside of Jim Leighton’s crossbar.
Aberdeen were struggling to cope with the pace and power of Gordon Durie’s runs as he continually stretched their defence but slowly but surely Aberdeen were starting to gain the upper hand in the match
Late into the second half and running out of ideas, Alan Rough twice denying Billy Stark with brilliant saves, Alex Ferguson introduced BP Youth Cup winning youngsters Paul Wright and Steven Gray into the fray and it was the latter now sadly deceased who snatched the equaliser for the Dons latching onto a brilliant Neale Cooper through ball to score past Rough from the edge of the box with a low right footed drive

On 45 minutes Eddie Turnbull swung over a free-kick, Gordon Smith rose like a salmon to bullet home a header but the Referee insisted he had already blown for half-time as soon as Turnbull took the free-kick
Into the second half and eventually HIBS’ pressure paid off much to the relief of 30000 fans when Ormond’s glancing header went beyond Cowan’s outstretched hand and into the net via the post

Our second worst Manager of all time :
P 49 W 12 D 11 L 26

Hibernian 0 v 2 Livingston
A larger crowd than normal attended this match as HIBS legend Joe Baker had sadly tragically passed away on 6th October 2003
Livingston would beat us four times in this season one of them being the Scottish League Cup Final
18/10/1989 UEFA Cup Round 2 Leg 1
Hibernian 0 v 0 Liege
The kick off was delayed for fully 15 minutes to allow the near full capacity crowd into the Stadium for Hibs’ 69th game in Europe
When the game did eventually kick off the HIBS fans also discovered that Liege had brought l’autobus with them playing a sweeper and two markers and everyone and his cat in midfield
Hibs played some neat football but were perhaps guilty of taking the extra touch at times and were also guilty of not using the wings to bypass the congested midfield The Belgians resorted to fouling - largely going unpunished and time wasting tactics early in the match
Hibs’ best player in the first half was Michael Weir who tried to lead by example taking the fight to Liege and was unlucky when he got too much elevation on an Evans cutback
Hibs had a goalden chance to take the lead 11 minutes before the interval when they were awarded a penalty when Keith Houchen latched onto a long through ball from Paul Kane in the box his attempt on goal went past the post but his feet were clearly taken from under him by Wegria in mid shot - an obvious penalty
There was a delay of two minutes whilst Alan Sneddon received treatment for an injury and I noticed that Captain Andy Goram ran the length of the pitch to make sure Houchen took the kick
When eventually he did take the kick the shot wasn’t firmly enough placed and Munaron was able to make an easy diving save
HIBS continued to make all the running in the second half with John Collins blasting over from a good position The Belgians were happy to soak up all the pressure with the ever dangerous De Sart making good contact with a 25 yarder and Danny Boffin sweeping a deflected shot wide of the target in a seperate move
HIBS introduced talisman Stevie Archibald on 65 minutes and should have taken the lead 5 minutes later when Neil Cooper got on the end of a Gareth Evans corner only to see his excellent header beat Munaron all ends up but could only watch as Danny Boffin headed his effort off the line

HIBS can feel aggrieved as the Hungarian Referee awarded the French side a soft penalty - an award that would eventually win the tie -many observers thought that the HIBS defender had cleanly and fairly won the ball
Piasecki 60 pen and Gemmrich 20 were the goalscorers

Fresh from their 2-1 win at Ibrox in front of 60000 HIBS now faced Falkirk at Easter Road but were without the services of Lawrie Reilly and Gordon Smith who were away on Scotland duty
Falkirk could smell blood and very quickly raced into an early two goal lead with Duncan converting two penalties. Goals by Ormond and Turnbull drew HIBS level going into the interval.
The tide had now turned and in the second half HIBS exerted their authority with further goals from Souness and Turnbull

They also had Per Bartram who went to Palace but they may have been in 3rd Division South at that time. Hal Stewart was definitely the initiator of the Danish influx.Quote:
