Apologies if posted already but just thought I'd share the piece on Ivan on the Evening news website. I'm of an age that first time round he was my hero and I was delighted when he came back. I will never forget my first trip to Ibrox because of him!

Hopefully a great reception for him on Saturday, followed by a defeat for Ross County.

Was listening to the Off the Ball podcast yesterday and they were talking about 'super sub' memories. I couldn't believe that Ivan didn't get a mention - his hat-trick as a sub at Ibrox will live long in the memory that's for sure.

Was Sproule a sub that game - I don't know why I got it into my head that I thought Mowbray had talked about the fact that he was going to sub him before he got the first. Originally Posted by patlowe

Was it not Deeks who he subbed for Sproule, and Deek was a tad unhappy about it? Originally Posted by GreenPJ

Apparently he asked Mowbray why he was being subbed and TM said it was because he hadn't had any shots on goal.
"How many shots is he going to have, likes?" was supposedly Garry's reply!

The end of that story is that Mowbray walked past GOC at the end of the game and said "three". Originally Posted by Stevie Reid

What a day! Scott Brown and Ivan were unplayable last 20 minutes. He'll get a tremendous reception from me on Saturday. Easily in my top 10 Hibees of all time. (I'm still in my 20's before anyone questions that haha)

Correct, O'Connor barely shook his hand as he went on. If you look closely, you can see Sproule giving it the 'waanker' sign towards the bench after he scores the first Originally Posted by Mon Dieu4

Was there at Ibrox that fine day with a cracking hangover. Super sub Ivan cured that.

Ivan will always have a place in my heart. Great player and a gem of a man. Was at ibrox that brilliant day. Went to Bristol to see him with amongst others, maturehibby and givescotlandfreedom. Ivan was a true gent, introduced us to his wife and baby and had a drink with us in the players lounge. LEGEND

Ironic we are currently looking for a winger/impact player just now yet we let Ivan go last year... Met him in the BMW garage the day before the 2012 cup final, make no mistake he is a true Hibee. Top guy too! Hope he gets a great reception Saturday.
