Our epic and legendary Scottish Cup winning run began
Raith Rovers 0 - 2 Hibernian
And I think I'm correct in saying we were the 4th team in a row to knock Raith out of the cup to go on and win the trophy
Results 1 to 27 of 27

I was studying at Telford College when Rovers won the League Cup, beating Celtic in the final.
Two guys on one of my courses were Rovers fans from the Kingdom.
The were walking on air for weeks!
Always cheers me when "wee" teams win trophies,against the odds.
Just like May '16

McGregor scored Hibs 1000th Scottish cup goal that night I believe.
It was a very good record Raith had, something like 4 in a row and maybe 5 out of 6 years. The next year they were put out by hearts though and their run ended.Mon the Hibs.

Wonder who the 5th team to knock Raith out in a row were and if they went on to win the cup too?

We were pretty brutal in the 1st half, efficient in the 2nd. A certain Chris Dagnall put in a decent shift considering he had a pretty thankless task up top.
If you'd have asked me on the road back to Edinburgh that night if I'd just seen the cup winners I'd have answered with a resounding no.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

But the English broadcaster did not know that.

As I sat in the pub when we were 0-2 to Hearts at Tynecastle with 10 minutes to go I thought I had more chance of getting to the Moon than us winning the cup that year. Apart from winning a final was our draw there the best result we have ever had?

When Hanlon scored the equaliser, I shouted "ya fluccin beauty" so loudly, the whole pub was silenced and they all looked at me.
I smiled at them all and shouted, "Ma bonny boys!"

I'll never do that again, as getting that draw under those circumstances would have been one of my favourite games even if we hadn't gone on to win the cup.
