The same day Arsenal visited Dens in 1962, Everton met Hibs at Easter Road drawing 1-1. Whatever happened to the great Hibs historical results web site? https://bluecorrespondent.co.uk/1961-62/march1962.html There used to be an excellent database on an old version of the Hibs site - and an excellent Hibs Programmes website. You can still get the later archived online though unsure if all pages work: Hibs Programmes (archive.org) EDIT: incredibly the official Hibs site results database also seems to still be accessible though again no idea if every page will be available: Hibernian FC Official Site (archive.org) Some brilliant sites have gone defunct over the years; recall great Rangers, Airdrie and Ayr programmes sites and this East Fife database: The East Fife Football Historian (archive.org) Edited May 5 by HibeeJibee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | Reduced pool for Scotland B clash BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | Old Firm pair in Scots B call-up BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | Scotland B 3-0 N Ireland B Today is 15yrs since Scotland B last took to the field. Northern Ireland B were blown away 3-0 before 2,110 at Airdrie; but the whole affair was a farce... arranged in closing weeks of the league season George Burley had agreed not to call up any OF players (derby Sunday after); then also had to forego Edinburgh and New Firm derby players as those games were played the night after the game; English Championship playoff participants were also ruled out. Mark Wilson of Celtic was called-up anyway (ditto Steven Naismith of Rangers) but he withdrew as did Darren Barr of Falkirk, Craig Bryson of Kilmarnock, Graham Dorrans of WBA, Ross Wallace of Preston and Paul Gallacher of Plymouth. So a motley mix: many went onto international honours, some did not... Scotland B 3-0 N Ireland B http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45743000/jpg/_45743035_georgeboydvni.226b.jpg Boyd enjoyed a good first outing in the colours of Scotland Scotland turned in an encouraging display to earn a B international victory at a rain-lashed Broadwood. Rangers defender Andy Webster opened the scoring on 47 minutes, slamming the ball home after his header had been blocked by keeper Jonathan Tuffey. Scotland's David Marshall made saves to deny Andy Little and Oliver Norwood. The lively George Boyd then smacked in a wonderful strike from 20 yards and set up Leigh Griffiths to slip home the third goal with five minutes left. Scotland manager George Burley described the game as "a worthwhile exercise" and had words of praise for the goal-scorers and Motherwell midfielder Stephen Hughes, who shone in the first half before a deluge made the pitch very heavy. The Northern Ireland team were younger and less experienced than the hosts and soon found themselves under pressure. An early Stevie Hammell free-kick appeared to beat Tuffey at the near post and cross the line before the Partick Thistle keeper scooped it back out. And Tuffey was called into action to stop shots from Steven Naismith and Chris Burke before the interval. A flash-flood at the break put the game in some doubt but when play resumed with puddles forming on the pitch, Scotland took the lead within two minutes. Ian Black played a short corner with Naismith and when his cross came over, Webster's header was saved by Tuffey before the Rangers played followed in to ram home the rebound. Scotland keeper Marshall was forced to dive at the feet of Little to prevent an equaliser after Mark Reynolds failed to clear his lines. As a raft of substitutions began to take its toll on the flow of the game, Northern Ireland continued to press for the leveller. In the 70th minute Norwood drew a fantastic save from Marshall with a 30-yard free-kick, the former Celtic keeper leaping acrobatically to tip the ball over the crossbar. Six minutes later Boyd made the game certain when he took a pass from Griffiths and rifled the ball low past Tuffey. And in the 85th minute Boyd returned the compliment when he sent Griffiths clear of the visiting defence and the Livingston teenager showed great confidence to roll the ball under the diving Tuffey. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Go back 60 years and tonight saw the close of the first week of the new Summer Cup innovation... effectively an end-of-season duplicate of start-of-season League Cup. Division One clubs (bar Rangers + Celtic who declined to participate and wooden spoonists East Stirlingshire who were replaced by record-breaking Division Two champions Morton) were placed in 4 regional groups, playing home-&-away before 2-legged SFs > Final. Fans had clearly not yet been bowled over by the idea though.

A tremendous achievement given the intense pressure endured by staff at the coal face there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
