Stranraer and others

**Miguel** · 19-09-2013 11:34 PM

Am I right in thinking that when we played Stranraer in the early to mid 1990s, they were the only team then in the senior leagues that we hadn't previously faced in a competitive match? Think it was the League Cup, but can't remember the score.
Are there any other teams in the current set up, or from times gone by, we have never played competitively? Peterhead, Elgin and Annan spring to mind.

**Sir David Gray** · 19-09-2013 11:36 PM

Rangers.

**Broken Gnome** · 20-09-2013 12:59 AM

Peterhead were game one in the 2007 League Cup run.

Sure we drew 0-0 through there & won the replay 4-0 ( Luna-Zittelli-Smith-Hurtado ), Big Franck was the boss I think, 2002.

First division season 98/99. A few great away days.

Was there. We won 4-0. McLeish played a very young team that day

That was near the end of the season. First game down there was 1-0 with a late Lovell goal. I remember big Olly having some great saves that day.

Forgot about that game. Remember they beat us at ER early that season as well

Iirc that was the night that Stephen Hendry won his seventh world title and the day before Hugh Dallas got hit by the coin at parkhead

***johnrebus*** · 20-09-2013 08:24 AM

League Cup tie midweek at ER, under Alex Miller.

Hibs won 4-0.

Steve Archibald came off the bench for his debut and scored twice.

***Keith_M*** · 20-09-2013 10:25 AM

Not sure if this is the game the OP mentioned but I went to our first home game of season 98/99 against Stranraer (1st Division) and it was the first time ever we'd played them in a league game (not sure if absolutely first time ever, though).

IIRC, we lost 1-0, giving them a 100% winning record against us. I really worried for the season ahead after that match.

***hhibs*** · 20-09-2013 11:54 AM

Annan Athletic

**LancashireHibby** · 20-09-2013 11:57 AM

Always hope we draw Annan away in the cups but no luck so far.

I think it was 2-1. The winner was an absolute peach IIRC.

It was indeed a 2-1 loss at Easter Road in early August 1998. Hibs late consolation goal was scored IIRC by Justin Skinner.
Remember it being a gloriously sunny day and lots of Hibs fans turning up in the club's new Yellow away shirt.

Our second game of the First Division Campaign and the second and winning Stranraer goal was scored by Jason Young a nephew of Alex Young ex Hearts player.

Why I remember this pish I don't know.....

I was at the Haydock junction on the M6 before midnight after the QoS game last year. Shame about the game, mind.

That game started my love for Hibs! A goalless draw in the league cup.

Was it not the Scottish Cup? I remember leaving Stranraer a number of years ago after a cup draw, and listening to the Scottish cup draw on the radio. Think we were drawn away to Rangers (The one that went bust)
Is this the same season?

That must have been some coin toss at the snooker

was the score not 2-1 , and alec young son scored the winner i think,also that was the game mcleish decided we hadnt a good enough squad to go backup so we got mixu, suazee and latapy and the rest was history.

It must have been the Scottish Cup as there are no draws in the League Cup with extra time and penalties.

One of the best goals I've seen at ER - absolute screamer.

IIRC we applauded Stranraer off the park at full time.

Just checked the programme League cup apparently.

**Paperboy** · 21-09-2013 07:42 PM

I remember the game where we got beat in the first home game of the season against Stranraer. I went into Ladbrokes at the foot of Leith Walk and they had an offer of 20/1 that Hibs wouldn't lose a home game in the old first division for the whole season. I went to a nearby boozer and after a few pints I convinced myself and a few others it was a great bet and we lumped on.

Lets just say I didn't go back to the pub after the game..!
