HIBS went to Ibrox in confident mood sitting proudly at the top of the table after having already defeated both Celtic and Hearts

Manager Willie MacFarlane got the players to swap jerseys prior to kick off with instructions to confuse the Rangers defenders even further during the game by interchanging positions.

Eric Stevenson grabbed the number 9 jersey and kicked off as centre forward.

Rangers debutante fullback Brian Herron couldn’t handle the pace and ball wizardry of Peter Marinello as he ran through the middle of the Rangers defence in the centre forward position - ripping them a new one and scoring two first half goals. Willie Johnston replying for Rangers.

Joe McBride increased HIBS’ lead in the second half

Jocky Scott was in temporary charge after Alex Miller had resigned

Rangers took the lead after 13 minutes with a howitzer of a free-kick that Jim Leighton didn’t even move for from Jorg Albertz

Second half HIBS came out the traps flying with Kevin Harper and Darren Jackson terrorising the Rangers defence going down the slope After 60 minutes Darren Jackson in full flow got pulled down just outside the box but landing well inside the box the Referee awarded a penalty 1-1 Oh Ah Jackson Ah! Three minutes later HIBS took the lead when Graeme Donald got on the end of a brilliant team passing move and found himself with a tap-in in front of goal past Andy Goram

Scenes in the closing stages when the Referee obviously trying to even things up awards Rangers a penalty and Brian Laudrup uncharacteristically steps up and misses The Referee orders a retake for encroachment and Jim Leighton pulls off a fantastic save

Hibernian 1 v 1 Aberdeen

Cowan 25

A Skol Cup Final dress rehearsal and a match played in brilliant sunshine in front of a deserted East as it was getting a new roof fitted.

Hibs were hoping to transfer their brilliant League Cup form to the League and they got off to the perfect start when Stevie Cowan scored against his old club heading in a Brazil free-kick off the underside of Jim Leighton’s crossbar.

Aberdeen were struggling to cope with the pace and power of Gordon Durie’s runs as he continually stretched their defence but slowly but surely Aberdeen were starting to gain the upper hand in the match

Late into the second half and running out of ideas, Alan Rough twice denying Billy Stark with brilliant saves, Alex Ferguson introduced BP Youth Cup winning youngsters Paul Wright and Steven Gray into the fray and it was the latter now sadly deceased who snatched the equaliser for the Dons latching onto a brilliant Neale Cooper through ball to score past Rough from the edge of the box with a low right footed drive

Hibernian 1 v 0 Morton

Hibs were going neck and neck for the Championship with early leaders East Fife in this season and Morton were proving a tough nut to crack with their goalkeeper Jimmy Cowan repelling everything HIBS could throw at him

On 45 minutes Eddie Turnbull swung over a free-kick, Gordon Smith rose like a salmon to bullet home a header but the Referee insisted he had already blown for half-time as soon as Turnbull took the free-kick

Into the second half and eventually HIBS’ pressure paid off much to the relief of 30000 fans when Ormond’s glancing header went beyond Cowan’s outstretched hand and into the net via the post

HIBS would win the league in this season eventually beating Rangers by 4 points
