Remind me why there were no Hearts fans at the DelaCruz game?

They had a campaign going at the time to boycott Easter Road to deny us the maroon pound

There were even less at the 6-2 game 12 months earlier

Well by half-time anyway

Into the second half and it was never in doubt Keatings’ effort taking a deflection off a defender on the way in. Grant Holt scoring from the spot when Andrew Shinnie was bundled over in the box and substitute Brian Graham with the perfect finish in the dying seconds shooting high into the net

HIBS broke his resistance on 44 minutes when Ivan Sproule accepted Chris Killen’s pass to lob the goalkeeper and settle the fans’ nerves going into the second half

Sproule returned the compliment on 62 minutes when he set up Chris Killen after a trademark mazy run Michael Stewart then drilled a shot off the crossbar before substitute Benji confirmed the points when he fired home a pass from fellow country man Zemmama. Chris Killen then rose to head home a Zemmama corner to complete a miserable night for Dunfermline

One of the great European nights at Easter Road- HIBS actually led 2-1 - and probably the first time my green tinted eyes actually noticed an opposition player JOSE ALTAFINI- what a player!

Claudio Gentile opened the scoring just before half time

Stanton a header from a Brownlie cross and Cropley - a tap in when a lob on goal was headed onto the underside of his own crossbar by a Juve defender- gave HIBS the lead then the Italians brought on the ageing grey haired 36 year old striker.

Lightning quick HIBS could not cope he scored one made one for Cuccureddu and added a second

Alan Gordon once told me that when the ball was up the other end of the park Gentile would pull the wee hairs out of the back of his legs and do other illegal things to wind him up

Bobby Williamson eased the pressure on his position at HIBS with this win over his old club

Tam McManus was given a rare start and he was looking hungry and dangerous from the off out on the right wing. His 13th minute corner was met by Garry O’Connor and after the striker’s initial shot was blocked Colin Murdock was on hand to stab the ball into the net to score his first goal for the club

HIBS doubled their lead three minutes later when Derek Riordan picked up a threaded pass from Stephen Glass inside the Killie box spun round the challenge of Freddie Dindeleux and poked the ball through the legs of Francois Dubourdeau from six yards out

Kilmarnock pushed forward to try and get back into the match with Fowler and Boyd going close but Daniel Andersson in the HIBS goal managed to repel everything Killie could throw at him

Substitute Colin Nish managed to pull one back for Kilmarnock on the 80th minute and as they piled forward searching for an equaliser Garry O’Connor slipped the ball under Dubourdeau after a swift counterattack in the 90th minute

Magical HIBS booked their place in the quarterfinals of the European Cup Winners Cup in magnificent style

Once again Turnbull’s Tornadoes hammered out a warning to all of Europe with a fantastic seven goal rout of Albanian Cup holders FC Besa

Eddie Turnbull had forecast a green and white blitzkreig and once again he was bang on

HIBS teased and tormented and finally tore the heart out of a plucky but completely outclassed Besa side No praise can be too great for this HIBS side as they took all the strain out of a potentially tricky away leg with seven magnificent goals

It was almost an exact repeat of the humiliation of Sporting Lisbon with an extra goal thrown in for good measure

Right from the opening whistle HIBS attacked FC Besa The Albanian goal surviving many narrow escapes before HIBS finally broke their resistance in 11 minutes Alan Gordon crashed a left foot shot which beat Besa keeper Arkaxhiu but hit the crossbar Alex Cropley however was alert to any slip ups and was right on the spot to head home

The HIBS fans went wild and Besa crumpled 90 seconds later when Jimmy O’Rourke grabbed a second from close range when he gratefully accepted an Alan Gordon headed knockdown to fire home

Into the second half and going down the slope HIBS hit them with five goals in 12 wonderful minutes

The Albanians had no answer to the pace power and precision passing of this wonderful HIBS side

The first came when Cropley raced on to a through ball from Stanton he beat two defenders before cutting the ball back for O’Rourke to slam home

Two minutes later Edwards sent Brownlie clear on the right The full back raced deep into the Besa penalty area and slammed HIBS four ahead

Four minutes later HIBS had their place in the quarterfinals assured when Arthur Duncan moved inside tricked his way past two defenders and hammered in a great left foot shot

In the 62nd minute O’Rourke bundled his way through the middle to grab his hat-trick and HIBS’ sixth goal

Three minutes later Duncan scored the best goal of the night when he accepted a Gordon pass and fired home a raging left foot shot from all of 25 yards

Besa who were sporting throughout got a late consolation when Kariqi scored on 67 minutes

New signing Jim McArthur watched this game from the Stand I am sure that he would have been impressed by the performance of his new teammates
