I had never seen that 2-2 game with Celtc at Hampden, thanks Billy. Typical OF bias with 2 reps from the uglies in the studio. Also, Jock Brown interviews John Collins about Celtc, then 20 seconds into interviewing Jim Leighton about Hibs, he asks him about Celtc!!! Plus ca change!! I also noticed huge swathes of empty seating unoccupied by the greatest fans in the world!

Parkhead with less than 20000 was not uncommon but they all insist they were there.

The first time I ever attended Parkhead, in 1982, there were only three games to go until the end of the season and Celtc and Aberdeen were in a tight struggle to win the league... but there was only 16k at the game.

Gretna staged a late fightback with goals from Gavin Skelton 81 and Dr Kenny Deuchar 88 but it all fizzled out when goalkeeper Greg Fleming upended Colin Nish in the penalty box in the 90th minute and was sent off. Steven Fletcher settled the issue once and for all from the penalty spot completing his hat-trick and giving HIBS a valuable win

On a heavy pitch John Hazel opened the scoring when he powered in a brilliant diving header from an Arthur Duncan freekick Kevin Hegarty pulled one back for Hearts early into the second half when he scored with a header.

13/2/1952 Scottish League Division One

Rangers 2 v 2 Hibernian

Turnbull pen
Reilly

In the fifth minute Scotland Captain George Young handled in the box and a penalty was awarded Rangers goalkeeper Bobby Brown trying some 1950’s gamesmanship asked Eddie Turnbull ‘ if he could have a feel of the ba?’

The request was met with a curt response telling him he would get a touch of it in two seconds when he picked it out the back of the net a promise Turnbull kept sending Brown the wrong way

Rangers equalised when Tommy Younger punched the ball into his own net following a cross from McCulloch under pressure from Willie Woodburn

Going into the second half and Younger redeemed himself with two brilliant saves Lawrie Reilly then gave HIBS the lead when following a lightning counterattack he cutely lobbed Brown

George Young equalised for Rangers from the penalty spot late into the game when Howie handled in the box

I was in the The Rangers end for the game that Lewis scored that belter. Courtesy of complementary tickets. We were right behind the director's box. Fortunately their fans were revolting at the time and left after 20 minutes or so in protest at the board.

Couldn't help but jump up when the second goal went in. Lucky man.

[Keith_M]

A per usual, I was on the Artisan bus to the game at Tannadice and when we got back, everybody was desperate to find out if any of their mates were on the bus that crashed and if they were OK.

I was just a kid and didn't know anybody else that had travelled up but there were quite a few adults from our bus in a bit of a panic.

[CropleyWasGod]

The game at Tannadice obviously sticks in the minds of a lot of us.

I was in the Arabs' end, with a couple of mates... could've sworn that Sturrock scored for them. TBF, I was buried in an orange mist for a wee while.

In the 4-2 defeat of Gretna,Hibs had a player called Aberaouf Zarabi.I was at that game and have absolutely no recollection of a player of that name.Any background info.

I was at the ‘71 cup game at Tynecastle but can’t remember a “Duncan” at left back? Pretty sure it wasn’t Bobby Duncan who was a right back in any case. Can anyone help?

I was at the game as well and my memory is in Black and White

If you click on the link you can see that John Brownlie is #2 and Bobby Duncan is #3

I agree that Bobby Duncan was a right back but he appears to take up the left back position at the Hearts free kick and makes himself available for Stanton’s pass before feeding Arthur from the left back side of the pitch

The Manager was Dave Ewing who was a Coach at Man City and had some unorthodox ideas

Bobby Duncan came in for Mervyn Jones who seemed to drop out of the picture for a few weeks before being reintroduced

Remember the 1972 semi final replay against the Rangers at Hampden, was in the North Stand. There was a mixture of Hibs and Rangers fans in the stand two minutes to go and guys started singing Rangers are Rubbish. What a night.

Went to first game of the semi in 72 on the football special train did not get into the ground until the 60th minute of the game. Some folk in these days would trash the trains so we did not move anywhere for more than an hour whilst the police boarded the train to make arrests. Happened quite often back then

Wembley 83 took the biscuit. 24 hour round trip with a 4 hour stop for the game. I never knew trains stopped for lights so often. Got to my bed before anybody else by exiting at the old Piershill station.

The excursion buses that left from St Andrew Sq bus station would more than likely have air conditioning on the way back from the game that wasn't there going to the game.

Giving away a penalty at Ibrox in the last few minutes especially when the Referee has already awarded a penalty to the opposition looks mighty suspicious no ?

His birthday today met an untimely end IIRC
