Jocky Scott was in temporary charge after Alex Miller had resigned

Rangers took the lead after 13 minutes with a howitzer of a free-kick that Jim Leighton didn’t even move for from Jorg Albertz

Second half HIBS came out the traps flying with Kevin Harper and Darren Jackson terrorising the Rangers defence going down the slope After 60 minutes Darren Jackson in full flow got pulled down just outside the box but landing well inside the box the Referee awarded a penalty 1-1 Oh Ah Jackson Ah! Three minutes later HIBS took the lead when Graeme Donald got on the end of a brilliant team passing move and found himself with a tap-in in front of goal past Andy Goram

Scenes in the closing stages when the Referee obviously trying to even things up awards Rangers a penalty and Brian Laudrup uncharacteristically steps up and misses The Referee orders a retake for encroachment and Jim Leighton pulls off a fantastic save

Hibernian 1 v 1 Aberdeen

Cowan 25

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

HIBS defended heroically and Willie Wilson performed miracles in goal but there was little he could do in 74 minutes when Baxter gave away a penalty when he committed a foul in the box Sanchez-Lage stepping up to convert the award

HIBS lost the toss and would have to return to the Mestalla for the replay

Dundee United 1 v 0 Hibernian

In a statement of intent HIBS gave a debut to German Cup and Super Cup winner Murdo MacLeod recently signed from Borussia Dortmund

Cheered on by a large vociferous travelling support it looked as though HIBS were going to hang on for a valuable point against table topping Dundee United that was until the 89th minute when full back Willie Miller inexplicably diverted a long clearance from United keeper Alan Main over the head of Andy Goram and into the unguarded net

Hibernian 1 v 0 Morton

Hibs were going neck and neck for the Championship with early leaders East Fife in this season and Morton were proving a tough nut to crack with their goalkeeper Jimmy Cowan repelling everything HIBS could throw at him

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

HIBS would win the league in this season eventually beating Rangers by 4 points

That was when the leagues were first introduced and the winners of the Second Division had to also win a vote by the top league clubs to get promoted.

Incidentally, Hearts voted in favour of Hibs being promoted but Celtc voted against.


Celtc had been on a long campaign to eradicate all other clubs with Irish origins so that they would have a monopoly on supporters of Irish descent. They apparently even subsidised supporters buses at one point to encourage fans in other areas to watch them instead of supporting their local team.

Charitable origins? My Ar5e!

Really great player and he was picked to play at Hampden against Pele and Brazil. Shankley took him to Liverpool from Forest, where he made the new position of holding mid with number 5 on his back the position that became synonymous with Liverpools (Ray Kennedy etc, etc) success over many years.
Wonderful player who was also great in the air.

His jumping style was unique as well, he seemed to be able to hang in the air for ages.

Every school boy in Edinburgh used to imitate his running style running on their toes prepared to launch themselves at a seconds notice to bullet a header into the postage stamp

A brave intelligent player with the heart of a lion well able to pick out a pass and chip in with his fair share of goals

I remember one Derby he took over in goals and against St Mirren when Willie Wilson reappeared on the wing looking like Kochise

In that Derby remember him making a great diving to his right turning a net bound daisy cutter around the post. A guy who stood behind me in the North Enclosure called him the ballet dancer.

Peter was No.1 target for the boo boys at Easter Road for a good bit of his time at Hibs.A guy who always stood near where we stood would start it before the team came out.One of us eventually had to have a word with him so he moved somewhere else. Peter never gave up on a lost cause.

He wasn't universally popular in his pomp either, although players like Colin Grant & Merv Jones had become the No1 target for the cretins. I never could understand it, he was a terrific player, I remember his last game before heading south, April 1970, he scored a brace as Willie Mac's Hibs beat a really good St Johnstone side 4-1. Tuesday after school the Evening News brought the dreaded news that Matt Gillies had taken him to Forest for 80k, gutted, and so soon after his great pal, Peter Marinello had departed.

I remember the yellow goalie jersey being about ten sizes too big for him and after that save pulling off lumps of mud pretending to throw it at passing Hearts players

I also remember him getting sent off versus Hearts was on a short fuse and was bad for retaliating as he had to put up with a lot of tough treatment

Yeah, the sending off was the 1970 new year derby where he retaliated to Peter Oliver's foul on him. He wasn't in the best of moods anyway as he had been hankering for a move south for ages and his mate Marinello had just beat him to it.

Finished third, only one point behind Motherwell and took Celtc to a replay in the SC Semi Final (at Ibrox), so were also very close to putting them out the Cup.
