Hibernian 0 v 2 Celtic

Celtic had sold Davie Hay and Lou Macari and had new signing Ronnie Glavin on the bench

Celtic took the lead when Hugh Whyte failed to gather a Harry Hood cross and Dixie Deans out jumped Pat Stanton to score

Des Bremner hit the post before with 10 minutes to go Harry Hood hit the by-line for Stevie Murray to slide in on the seat of his pants to prod home

Think that was 1st game I shed tears after, but by no means the last. IIRC the Dons keeper Freddie Martin was injured & replaced at last minute by Reggie Morrison who was MOTM. I think Reggie later made it up to us when he was President of Deveronvale. He strongly recommended we sign his player, Des Bremner!

This one a real head scratcher

At first I was thinking Great Escape ( Gordon Jackson and David McCallum )

But my only sensible guess would be both released by that master footballing tactician Alex McLeish

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Knew you would work it out.McCallum played for McLeish at Motherwell and Jackson at Hibs.Probably both took great pleasure in getting one over on Mein Fuhrer.

4/2/2012 Scottish Cup Round 5

Doyle 15

Eoin Doyle fired HIBS ahead in fifteen minutes after good set up play by Tom Soares

Rangers 0 v 3 Hibernian

O’Connor 50
Sproule 59
Killen 78


Tony Mowbray outfoxed his Ibrox rival Alex McLeish once again to defeat Rangers for the third time in this season

This HIBS win was without difficulty as a hostile Ibrox bid for striker Derek Riordan resulted in Deeks starting off on the bench and midfield maestro Kevin Thomson was carried off on a stretcher after only 7 minutes

Hibs achieved their game plan of getting to half-time 0-0 then all hell broke loose

Ivan Sproule hung up a cross to the far post - over Ian Murray- and Garry O’Connor gleefully headed home

O’Connor then flicked a long through ball into the path of Ivan Sproule who buried a low shot into the corner of the net from 18 yards

Derek Riordan on as a Sub then threaded an intelligent pass through to fellow Sub Chris Killen who fired home past Waterreus from a tight angle at the second attempt to trigger chants of “ We are the peepul” from the packed HIBS masses behind the goal

4/2/1950 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 4 v 1 Celtic

Turnbull 4 ( 3 pens )

This match saw four penalties awarded but from a HIBS point of view is best remembered for Eddie Turnbull’s hat-trick of penalties

Eddie Turnbull scored his first penalty when McGrory fouled Reilly in the box after 20 minutes

Celtic were then awarded a penalty that Bobby Collins had to take twice and converted following an infringement

HIBS then lost Tommy Younger to injury and Willie Clark had to take over in goal leaving HIBS down to 10 men

Just before half-time that man McGrory again pulled Bobby Johnstone down in the box step forward Ned to do the needful

Five minutes into the second half and Gordon Smith set up Turnbull for a tap in to complete his hat-trick

Turnbull completed his hat-trick of penalties 20 minutes from the end to earn a remarkable victory against all the odds

HIBS would lose the league in this season on goal average

Funnily enough I was recently looking at an image of Shades marshalling the HIBS defence at a corner kick and and the late Dr Whyte was standing behind him

I was sad to read of his passing

Hibernian 4 v 0 Brechin City

Morrow 24
O’Connor 32 57
Caldwell 63

Hibs cruised into the Scottish Cup Quarterfinals with a comfortable win over Brechin City

A deflected shot from Boozy hit the post before Sam Morrow curled a beauty past Craig Nelson from 16 yards HIBS further increased their lead when Garry O’Connor fired home a Derek Riordan cross eight minutes later

Into the second half and HIBS secured their place in the quarterfinals when Dean Shiels sent O’Connor scampering through the middle and despite a poor first touch was able to recover and slide the ball under the advancing Nelson

Six minutes later and Gary Caldwell put the icing on the cake when following a short corner his looping header from a Riordan cross deceived Nelson and his defence sneaking in at the far post

5/2/2004 Scottish League Cup Semi-Final

Hibernian 1 v 1 Rangers AET ( HIBS won 4-3 on pens )

Dobbie 79

After knocking out Celtic injury ravaged HIBS were up against it against Rangers at rain lashed Hampden Park

Rangers started the better and after 27 minutes Daniel Andersson upended Ronald De Boer in the penalty box but he quickly redeemed himself with a fine one handed save from Arteta’s spot kick

Rangers were not to be denied however and Michael Mols swept Rangers into the lead just before half-time from 15 yards after a defence splitting pass from Ross

Into the second half and play raged from end to end Hibs brought on Stephen Dobbie with 13 minutes to go and he equalised within a minute latching on to a Derek Riordan pass and lashing the ball home from 12 yards

HIBS were galvanised as they went for the kill Fernando Ricksen was lucky to escape punishment when he elbowed Riordan in the face and Garry O’Connor had a decent claim for a penalty waved away

HIBS pushed forward in the first period of extra time but could not prise open the Rangers defence Into the second period and HIBS survived two mass scrambles in their own box with goal hero Dobbie booting a ball off the goalline

Onto penalties and both keepers had two fine saves apiece with Averladze blazing over the crossbar and Mattius Doumbe hitting the woodwork

With the scores at 3-3 Colin Murdock tucked away his kick and Frank De Boer hit the post cue celebrations among the 7000 rain soaked HIBS fans

One of the best Hibs supports I have had the pleasure of being in was the 2004 semi, not the biggest but what a great night.

In contrast to the final where our support was massive but were poor in terms of support.

Info taken from Hibernian on this day Colquhoun and Sinnet they state 7000 hibbies saying we were outnumbered 3:1

I was at the 1-0 at Hampden 1991 and there seemed to be hardly any hibbies but reports say it was a decent support that night too

I was at all of these games.
The cup tie against Third Lanark was played just before they folded. I seem to have a recollection that there was a small band of Thirds fans at the Dunbar end with placards each with a different letter spelling Thirds.
Anyone else of a certain age remember this or is it nonsense?

7,000 was the widely reported figure at the time.

I'm sure there was more than that at the '91 semi final, though. It probably just seemed less because we were so widely spread out on the terrace that night.
