Hibernian 3 v 1 Motherwell
Paatelainen
McManus
O’Neil pen
On a freezing day Terry Butcher brought his Motherwell side to Easter Road looking for their first win in 10 games
After a goalless first half Steven Ferguson opened the scoring for Motherwell just after half-time
Motherwell’s Sengewald was then sent off after 55 minutes for a second bookable offence Mixu Paatelainen equalised three minutes later when he headed home a Derek Townsley cross He then turned provider 5 minutes later when he crossed in for Tam McManus to head home to put HIBS 2-1 up
Grant Brebner then came on as sub with 5 minutes left and was sent off two minutes later for retaliating to Stephen Pearson’s vicious tackle Pearson was also dismissed for the initial tackle to be followed by teammate David Partridge for his part in the post tackle melee
In the last minute John O’Neil was through on goal only to get hauled down in the box. He picked himself up dusted himself down and stroked home the penalty

23/11/1955 European Champions Cup Quarter Final First Leg
Djurgardens 1 v 3 Hibernian
Combe
Mulkerrin
Turnbull
Hibs went into the match minus Lawrie Reilly who had a chest infection and his place was taken by young Jimmy Mulkerrin
Hibs were caught cold when the Swedish Champions took the lead after only 90 seconds when Edlund lost his marker and fired home from 18 yards Moments later a shot from Sandberg stung Younger fingers
HIBS were starting to come more and more into the game with Willie Ormond twice going close before Gordon Smith lobbed a ball over a Swedish defender for Bobby Combe to meet perfectly on the volley to fire home the equaliser
Early in the second half Mulkerrin ran onto a Plenderleith clearance to,put HIBS 2-1 up from a tight angle. Mulkerrin was then tripped up inside the box and the usually dependable Eddie Turnbull sent his spot kick zipping past the post
The swedes were turning physical and English Referee Ellis was hard pressed to keep them in check
Eddie Turnbull atoned for his penalty miss when he scored a third 5 minutes from the end
Hibs Younger MacFarlane Paterson Thomson Plenderleith Preston Smith Combe Mulkerrin Turnbull and Ormond
