18/10/2010 Hibernian appoint Colin Calderwood as Manager.
Our second worst Manager of all time :
P 49 W 12 D 11 L 26
His only achievement was a surprise victory over Rangers at Ibrox
The club had to bring in Pat Fenlon to save us from relegation
Be careful what you wish for as our worst Manager ever was still to come

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

18/10/1978 UEFA Cup Round 2 Leg 1
Strasbourg 2 v 0 Hibernian
A French side containing internationalists Dominique Dropsy Francis Piasecki Albert Gemmrick and Raymond Domenech were too strong for HIBS on the night
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
Hibs fans were charged £20 for admission a lot of money in any currency back then

Hibernian 4 v 2 Falkirk
Ormond
Turnbull 2
Souness
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
