I remember that game well, including the pitch invasion after the match, then the march up to Princes St with the 1981 version of the ''young team' afterwards.

Incidentally, that was one of the relatively rare occasions where Hibs and Hearts were playing at home on the same day.
IIRC, Hearts got beat by St Mirren (I think), and were already relegated.

I always thought Ally Brazil was a dreadful player & that clip, vs Dundee Utd, does nothing to change my opinion. He either commits a foul or gives the ball away on every occasion. I have never seen a player look less comfortable on the ball. Totally beyond my comprehension how he played so many games over so many years.

Aberdeen 2 v 2 Hibernian
Gray 19
Shiels 44
Teenager Damon Gray making his HIBS debut shot HIBS ahead on 19 minutes following a mistake by Andrew Considine Russell Anderson equalised with a well placed downward header from a tight angle on 25 minutes following a Scott Severin freekick
Another mistake by Considine let Dean Shiels in on 44 minutes and he showed tremendous composure to round Jamie Langfield and shoot home from a tight angle through the legs of despairing defender Richard Foster on the goalline
Into the second half and it all kicked off after 5 minutes Shelton Martis failed to execute a routine clearance and Andy McNeil thought he would rescue the situation by bringing down the in rushing Mackie with a flying Kung Fu kick McNeil redeemed himself with an excellent save from Mackie’s spot kick
Midfielder Sean Lynch was then sent off for a high challenge on Chris Clark John Collins immediately brought on Boozy Benji and Ivan Sproule in an attempt to hold what we had as Aberdeen turned up the heat
Mackie’s luck was out again as he struck the post before Foster hammered home a short freekick from 22 yards to equalise with 10 minutes to go
Dermot McCaffrey another HIBS youngster making his debut was sent off for a second bookable offence in the dying minutes and would not play for HIBS again

Hibernian 2 v 0 Celtic
Smith 24
Macleod pen 64
Hibs effectively ended Celtic’s title hopes with a convincing win at Easter Road
Alex McGhee was brought down inside the box by Johannes Edvaldsson - who was having a shocker and had already pulled down Willie Murray and handled in the box - but the Referee Mr Hatton decided that the original infringement took place just outside the box
It mattered not a jot as defender Bobby Smith stepped up to coolly hit his freekick around the wall and past Peter Latchford who was slow to assess the situation
Into the second half and as Celtic launched attack after desperate attack HIBS caught them on the counter and as young Lindsay Muir bore down on goal Edvaldsson had no choice but to pull him down inside the box as the HIBS man skipped past him
Ally MacLeod effortlessly slotted the penalty kick past Latchford
Despite the promptings of Kenny Dalglish and the perseverance of Dixie Deans Celtic could not make an impression on this HIBS defence

Bobby Combe added a third into the second half before Kelly pulled back a late consolation for ‘Well
Hibs were in demand and only two days later they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at White Hart Lane thanks to a Gordon Smith double
The following week Bolton Wanderers came North to Easter Road for a 2-2 draw in which the legendary Nat Lofthouse had the home fans applauding a cracking individual double

I just had a look at that 1985 game against Dundee United and I'm sure I saw myself at the end of the South Enclosure, one of the wee twats wearing a ski hat.
