    The cup replay was I’m pretty sure an afternoon game not an evening one.Hibs played well against a good Rangers side. Rangers moaned for years about a Ralph Brand goal being chalked off because he’d punched the ball out of Leslie’s hands.
    The match was played in midweek ( Wednesday) maybe an early kick off according to all reports

    Scottish League Premier Division 11/4/1998

    Hibs 2 v 1 Hearts

    Lavety
    Harper

    Hibs ended Hearts hopes of the League title with a stunning 2-1 win over their city rivals easing their own relegation worries ever so slightly. Barry Basher Lavety gave HIBS the lead on the hour mark substitute John Robertson equalised for Hearts with a stunning free kick and HIBS substitute Kevin Harper won the game for HIBS with a fine individual goal

    It was Manager Alex McLeish’s first Edinburgh Derby and he went on a fine run of only losing once in ten games

    Rae
    MacLeod pen


    Fewer than 10000 fans attended this midweek Scottish Cup Semi Final at Hampden Park Stevie Archibald gave Aberdeen the lead Gordon Rae equalised nine minutes later and an Ally MacLeod penalty just before the half time whistle was enough to put HIBS into the final to face Rangers

    Scottish League Division One 11/4/1951

    Clyde 0 v 4 Hibernian

    Souness 2
    Mulkerrin
    Buchanan

    Minus the services of Smith Reilly and Ormond HIBS took the field on the night of Wednesday 11th April 1951 at Shawfield against Clyde. Souness Mulkerrin and Hugh Higgins were the HIBS deputies and despite the fact that it was midweek a huge travelling support witnessed the visitors dominating throughout scoring four times in the second half without reply through Souness who got two Mulkerrin and Buchanan to lift the league championship with four games still to play

    Scottish Cup Final 11/4/1914

    Ibrox Stadium

    Hibs 0 v 0 Celtic

    Special trains carried thousands of Hibernian supporters packed like herring in a barrel to the great Irish Festival in Glasgow The HIBS and Celtic hordes mingled together in good humoured banter and God Save Ireland was sung until their lungs nearly burst as 50000 squeezed into Ibrox A real gale was blowing and the general opinion was that whoever won the toss their decision of ends would win the game Mattha Paterson won the toss and booked the wind the HIBS old tactics being grab a first half goal and hang on to it. HIBS early play was a joy to see just like the ould Hibernians in the past the defence was rock solid and crisp passing between the forwards saw them descend on the Celtic goal
    There is such a thing as tradition attached to Hibernian Football Club and this was plain to see with their green stonewall defence and their dashing helter skelter forwards The gale however spoiled the finishing from Jimmy Hendren Bobby Wilson and Sam Fleming. Celtic the best team in Scotland also played as good a game as the conditions would allow and they had some unconvincing chances. At half time there was no scoring

    In the second half with the wind now at their backs Celtic had the better chances and Willie Allan had to show his worth and once the angels hovered over him as Celtic hit the post The HIBS forwards were still combining well but were less effective but as so often happens in a Cup Final a golden opportunity presented itself for HIBS to steal the match Internationalist Willie Smith broke completely clear of the Celtic defence with one of his famous artful dodger swerving runs and the Celtic goal lay at his mercy he just could not miss Was it that he swerved it at too sharp an angle was it the windy conditions perhaps it was just the gods Willie screwed the ball beautifully across the Celtic goal but it went just past the post This was in the last minute of the match poor HIBS they had come so near to accomplishing their mission and poor Willie he was to suffer from recurring nightmares about the incident To the credit of the HIBS officials we are told Willie was never criticised nor were there any recriminations it was not in the philosophy of the football school these Irish gentlemen ran at Easter Road and gentlemen they surely were So the Final ended in no scoring a result no one would have predicted



    Hibs:Allan Girdwood Templeton Kerr Paterson Grosart Wilson Fleming Hendren Wood and Smith

    Manager: Dan McMichael

    The cup replay against Aberdeen led to a change in the rules. We listed McLeod and one other(maybe Campbell)as 12 and 14 -the accepted numbers for subs on the team sheet but they were in the starting 11. Aberdeen protested after the game but we pointed out that the rules only stated that 13 players should be listed. The rules were subsequently changed to show a starting 11 plus subs.
    It was a very foggy night and I followed a supporters bus away from the match for some distance until I noticed it was an Ayrshire supporters bus.

    HIBS dominated the early play squandering a couple of early chances to score before Tony Higgins finally gave HIBS the lead with a shot that swerved over Peter Latchford and into the unguarded net after the Celtic defence had failed to clear an Ally MacLeod cross into the box

    Celtic equalised on 30 minutes when Ronnie Glavin created a chance for promising youngster George McCluskey to slot home

    The half ended 1-1 and HIBS must have regretted those missed chances

    The second half was uneventful until in the dying minutes Big Dode Stewart blundered with a passback allowing Tommy Burns to nip in and rattle the base of Mike McDonald’s post At the other end Hibs missed a goalden chance when Latchford dropped a cross at Willie Murray’s feet and with the very last kick of the ball Dowie drew an excellent full length save from McDonald

    1977 Willie Gibson gave Hearts the lead at Tiny but HIBS took the lead thanks to two exocets from outside the box from up and coming midfielder Des Bremner

    Hearts equalised through Jim Brown in the 89th minute from a suspiciously offside position but alas the point was not enough to save Hearts from relegation

    1968 Hibs defeat Motherwell 2-1 at Easter Road thanks to goals from Peter Cormack returning from injury and Eric Stevenson

    Hibs would finish third in the League our highest position in 15 years


    1929 Hibs complete the League double over Celtic with a fine 4-1 away victory

    This match actually took place at the Holy Ground as Celtic Park had suffered fire damage

    Hibs had no right to win this game as they played a severely weakened side due to injury and suspension but aided and abetted by legendary Celtic keeper John Thomson who had a nightmare we will take the points against them every time Hibs also missed a penalty

    Hibs finally got a deserved revenge for the 6-1 humiliation in May at Hampden with an outstanding performance

    Skipper Pat Stanton inspiring his team from midfield instigating wave after wave of attack with his driving runs leading by example scoring the first and laying on the second for his old Holy Cross Academy pal Jimmy O’Rourke

    Hibs had chances to add to their score with Billy McNeil clearing a drive off the line from Alan Gordon and even although King Kenny pulled one back for the champions in 73 minutes HIBS held out for a deserved victory

    After the match Celtic Manager Jock Stein personally stood and congratulated every HIBS player and shook each one by the hand as they left the field

    Probably the highlight of my HIBS supporting career a brilliant performance against a very good Celtic side

    HIBS started well and were denied a stonewall penalty when Larry Lloyd blatantly pulled back Kenny Davidson inside the box The Referee ignored furious claims from the HIBS players and fans and waved play on

    Hibs had chances to score but ultimately they came to nothing

    The fans got their wish and Joe McBride was introduced with half an hour remaining After five minutes Arthur Duncan bulleted home a header from an Eric Stevenson cross but the goal was unfairly disallowed as the Referee claimed that Joe McBride had fouled Ray Clemence in the build up to the goal a claim McBride later denied in the dressing room after the game

    Mind the day well .Had a game of Rugby down at Trinity which was cancelled due to the weather.Got a lift through with my dads pal who used to take us all over Scotland to watch Hibs .I thought Hibs in them days were invincible.That is apart from the odd humping from Celtic .GGTTH

    Typical evening news picture 8 is a game at Parkhead nothing to do with the cup final. Did anyone see themselves in the pictures of the fans.

    Remember the panic to get back to the NB before the team bus

    Scenes on Waterloo Place when our heroes appeared on the balcony with the cup ( might have been a windae )

    Absolutely rammed

    We thought it would always be like this

    1964 Big Bad John McNamee Jock Stein’s first signing makes his HIBS debut against East Stirling as HIBS run out 5-2 winners thanks to goals from Stan Vincent 3 and Neil Martin 2

    This was East Stirling’s last game as East Stirling before changing their name to ES Clydebank

    If I recall, Big John was called up by a few of his team mates to take a penalty...., which he duly hit straight at the goalie.

    Used to put me up in the air as a kid and excuse it by saying “ Big Bad John McNamee They Shall Not Pass” and then burst into singing Big Bad John
