Ronald “Ronnie” Campbell Simpson (October 11, 1930 – April 19, 2004) was a Scottish football (soccer) goalkeeper.

He is mainly remembered for his time with Celtic, where he was one of the Lisbon Lions, the first British team to win the European Cup in 1967. Although having little to do during the match, his fancy footwork when dealing with a backpass was one of the highlights of the match.

Before this, he played for Queen’s Park, Third Lanark, Newcastle United (where he won the FA Cup twice after taking over as Newcastle’s regular goalkeeper from Jack Fairbrother) and Hibernian. Thought to be in the last throes of his career, he was transferred to Celtic in 1965 as cover for John Fallon. Simpson’s anticipation, handling and maintaining his concentration during long periods of inactivity, made him an ideal goalkeeper for the attack-minded Celtic; and he soon won the Celtic number one place from Fallon.

He also played for the Scotland national football team, in particular when they beat England 3-2 in 1967, which was Simpson’s international debut at the age of 36.

Simpson’s father Jimmy Simpson also played for Scotland, and enjoyed notable success as a centre-half for Rangers and Dundee United in the 1930s.

After he retired as a player, he was manager of Hamilton Academical for a year. He also served on the pools panel, which guessed results of postponed matches in periods of exceptionally bad weather.

He died on 19 April 2004, from a heart attack.

Stein was appointed manager of Hibernian in 1964, and within months of becoming manager he led them to victory in the Summer Cup. The testimony of his contemporaries was that he was already “miles” ahead of everyone else in his understanding of the game, and in studying how the investment of energy could be tailored to maximum effect. Stein was immersing himself in the structure of the game while the rest simply went out and played.

Brown played junior football in the Fife Youth League with clubs including Inverkeithing United and Foulford Royals of Cowdenbeath. He signed for Hibernian professionally in 2002 and made his debut as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Aberdeen in May 2003. He made his first starting appearance the following week, a 1-0 win over Motherwell. He started in Hibs’ remaining two matches of the season and scored in both, a double in a 2-1 against Livingston and in a 3-2 defeat to Partick Thistle.

The following season (2003-04) he became a regular fixture in the Hibernian team, playing 41 times in all competitions and netting 4 goals. Despite a disappointing league campaign, in which they eventually finished 8th, Hibs reached the final of the League Cup, defeating both Celtic and Rangers en route. However, they were defeated 2-0 by Livingston in the final. Brown featured in all the matches of Hibs’ League Cup run and scored in the 9-0 win over Montrose in the third round.

In season 2004-05, Brown, along with several other young players at the club, flourished under the guidance of new manager Tony Mowbray. Brown, largely due to missing four months of the season due to an injury sustained against Celtic, only featured 23 times for Hibs, scoring twice, including the second goal in a 3-1 win over Celtic at Celtic Park.

Season 2005-06 was also blighted somewhat by injury. He missed most of the second half of the season due to a broken leg and missed Hibs’ Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts. He did, however, feature in the final Edinburgh derby of the season, coming on as a substitute as Hibs won 2-1.

Brown handed in a transfer request to the Hibernian assistant manager, Tommy Craig, directly after their home game against Dundee United on 2 December 2006. The action was thought to be taken on the advice of Brown’s agent Willie McKay.[5]

On 31 January 2007, however, Brown announced that he was retracting his transfer request and was now ‘happy’ to remain with Hibernian for the duration of his contract (which was due to end in summer 2009). Despite this, media rumours continued to suggest that he would move to Rangers in summer 2007. Former Hibernian teammate Kevin Thomson, who signed for Rangers in January 2007, claimed to have spoken with Brown about joining him at Rangers.[6] Subsequent reports linked him with a transfer to other clubs in the summer, including Celtic, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough and Reading. Reading confirmed that they reached agreement with Hibernian to sign Brown but the player said “If I had chosen Reading I would probably be fighting a relegation battle next season and then maybe disappearing into the Championship. In two years’ time people would have been saying, ‘Remember that lad Scott Brown – whatever happened to him?’”.

Despite intense speculation about his future, Brown helped Hibs win their first trophy in 16 years as they won the League Cup, defeating Kilmarnock 5-1 in the final.

He scored in his final appearance for Hibs against future employers Celtic, on 20 May 2007 at Easter Road, a match in which the Hibees won 2-1. The goal was celebrated by both the Hibs and Celtic supporters, he was also given a standing ovation from both sets of fans when he was taken off late on.

Managers Comments

Saturday’s win over Dundee was our fifth league success. Four of those wins have been at Easter Road with the away victory at Muirton Park. The run has taken us to fifth place in the Premier League. It’s delighted the management team at Easter Road and brought early season joy to you the fans. It’s not that long ago that the experts were saying that things were looking black for Hibs. We have proved what hard work and application can do. But the job is far from over. There is a long way to go in our league campaign but it is nice to have strung a winning run together in the first quarter of the season. The points now in the
bank can act as a springboard for the club in the drive to establish a foothold in European football. Tonight, however, we welcome old rivals Celtic to Easter Road for the second time this season. The Parkhead outfit have triumphed over us in the League and League Cup already this term. But we are determined to make a game of it in front of our own fans. Manager David Hay is keen to ensure that the League Cup trophy remains where it is just now … on the Parkhead sideboard. Celtic lost on Saturday to Aberdeen, and they have now gone six games without recording a win. Everyone in football knows that Celtic are really dangerous on the rebound. But we play them at Parkhead again on Saturday in the League, and our aim is to post a good performance tonight with the weekend in view.

BRAZIL SET FOR HIS 200TH GAME

Whole-hearted defender Ally Brazil was due to play his 200th game for Hibs tonight. The 24-year-old player from Currie, Midlothian, was spotted by talent scout John Smart playing for local side Currie Hearts and after two trial games was signed by former Hibs manager Eddie Turnbull in 1976. Brazil jumped at the chance to link-up with Hibs and has never regretted the decision. Ally recalls it took around a season to break through into the first team in which present manager Pat Stanton, and his current assistant John Blackley, plus Arthur Duncan were playing. “Everyone at Easter Road helped me in the early stages,” he said, “and there are a great bunch of lads at the club.” Looking back, the versatile player said his biggest thrill was appearing in the 1979 Scottish Cup final. he final also brought Ally his biggest disappointment for Hibs lost after three games to Rangers. Keeping free of injuries is a top priority but Ally’s big ambition in soccer is to win a cup playing for Hibs. Like all the staff at Easter Road he hopes to help the club into Europe this year, and Ally is looking forward to tonight’s game. “It’s great playing against the top teams and we always
have a good tussle with Celtic.” Ally is married — his wife’s name is Linda — and the couple have a child called Leanne. Hobbies include golf, and Ally has picked up trophies playing in recent local competitions.

CAPTAINS CORNER (Jackie McNamara)

Ouch I The last minute
of Saturday’s game
against Dundee was a
painful experience.
As the 7,000 crowd at
the game saw, I ended up
in the Hibs dugout not as
a substitute but head
first.
Although the incident
looked bad I was not
seriously hurt. A dislocated
thumb and bruised shoulder
was the total accident
report from the doctor.
He put the thumb back in
place in the dressing-room
and apart from feeling sore
it did not stop me joining
the party at the Chesser Inn
to celebrate colleague
Gordon Rae becoming the
Pentland Branch “Player of
the Year”.
I felt sore on Sunday
morning but the injury was
my own fault. I let the ball
run away from me and I was off-balance when
tackled.
Anyway, it was great to
collect another two points
on Saturday, and to see
such an enthusiastic crowd
at Easter Road.
VOCAL BACKING
I mentioned last week
just how much your
support means and the
boys remarked again after
the Dundee encounter just
how much they appreciate
the vocal backing. That’s our fifth win in the League and the moral among the boys is sky-high.
Tomorrow, my testimonial year kicks-off in
grand style with a cabaret
featuring Hibs fans Alex
“Happy” Howden and Phil
Clark Jun., at the Hibs
Club, 172 Easter Road. See
you there!

10 YEARS AGO

Wednesday, October 24,1973. Leeds United v. Hibernian. U.E.F.A. Cup.
Result (0-0).
Leeds United — Harvey; Madeley, Cherry; Bremner, Ellam, Yorath;
Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Bates, F. Gray. Subs. Jordan, O’Neill, Mann,
Davey, Shaw.
Hibs – McArthur; Bremner, Schaedler; Stanton, Black, Blackley;
Smith, Higgins, Gordon, Cropley, Duncan. Subs. Edwards, Hazel,
O’Rourke, Munro, Robertson.
Hibs won a lot of admirers with their display against Leeds United in the
first leg of their U.E.F.A. Cup tie at Elland Road. Their plan to attack the
English League leaders raised quite a few eyebrows among the media
representatives and Jimmy Hill had nothing but praise for the Scots display.
Changed days indeed!
Leeds, with four Scots on the park, and one on the bench, were hot
favourites and the crowd at the start was around the 25,000 plus mark.
Using two wingers — Bobby Smith and Arthur Duncan — Hibs exploited
the lack of mobility in the Leeds full-backs, and were unlucky not to gain a
winning lead. Their best chance came in the last minute when Arthur
Duncan, for the umpteenth time sped past Madeley, and crossed into the
middle. Alan Gordon dummied the ball and Tony Higgins, with the goal at
his mercy, huudod over when it appeared easier to score.
The big man made amends throughout the 90 minutes by his whole-
hearted display which left Leads skipper Billy Bremner a clear second best
in their tussles.
In the second-half Leeds brought on Joe Jordan and their young winger
O’Neill to provide a service for the new Scotland leader, but the Hibs
defence held firm and kept taking the game to Leeds.
The large Hibs support were a credit to the club and Scotland.

Derek George Riordan (born 16 January 1983) is a Scottish professional association football player who plays for Scottish Premier League club Hibernian. Riordan started his career with Hibernian, where he established himself as one of the top young players in the Scottish game. He won both young player of the year awards in 2005 and represented the Scotland national football team once. He signed for Celtic in 2006, but he failed to hold down a regular place in their first team. Riordan returned to Hibernian in 2008.

Hibernian

Riordan signed for Hibs (his boyhood favourites) in 2000 and made his debut the following year. It took a few years for Riordan to establish himself in the first team, and he spent a brief spell on loan at Cowdenbeath in January 2003.

He was finally given an opportunity towards the end of the 2002/03 season, as Hibs finished in the bottom half of the Scottish Premier League. He took this opportunity well, and he was the club’s top goalscorer for each of the next three seasons, with 18, 23 and 20 goals respectively.

This success earned him recognition in the form of the Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2005, and selections for the full Scotland international squad during 2005.

Gary Caldwell, (born April 12, 1982, in Stirling), is a Scotland international football player who currently plays for Scottish Premier League team Celtic.

Primarily considered a central defender, Caldwell proved extremely versatile and had been deployed as a right-back, defensive midfielder and man-marker at various spells in his career.
Contents

Club career

Caldwell started his career with Celtic Boys Club. At 16 he went to England, alongside his elder brother Steven at Newcastle United. Breaking through from the reserves proved difficult, however, and in search of regular first team football, he went on loan to other clubs on several occasions: Darlington and Hibernian in 2001-02, then Coventry and Derby County the following season. In the summer of 2003 he was given a free transfer, and despite being linked with boyhood favourites Celtic, he returned to Easter Road to sign with Hibs.

Transfer speculation continued to see him linked with a move to Celtic, and persistent rumours that he had signed a pre-contract agreement to join the club in the summer of 2006 were finally confirmed on January 20.

International career

Since winning his first Scotland cap in 2002, under the reign of Berti Vogts, Caldwell had established himself as a squad, if not first team, regular. As of October 2006, he has played 23 times for his country, scoring twice.

Caldwell’s international debut came in the first match of Berti Vogts management, a 5-0 defeat to France at the Stade de France. Ironically, what is possibly the finest moment of his career came also against France, scoring the only goal of the game as Scotland defeated the World Cup runners up 1-0 at Hampden Park, on October 7, 2006 in a Euro 2008 qualifying match

Miller signed a 2 year deal with SPL club Hibernian in September 2009

Auld left Celtic again in 1971 this time joining Hibernian on a free transfer. While at Easter Road he combined his playing role with one as a trainer, eventually focusing solely on the latter role.

He started a career as a manager in 1974, when appointed by Partick Thistle, where he would stay for six seasons.

He returned to Edinburgh as Hibs manager in 1980 (15-11-1980 to 15-09-1982 ) , in an attempt to revive the club following their relegation in the 1979-80 season. He succeeded in this end but was replaced by Pat Stanton in 1982. He then briefly managed Hamilton Academical before returning to manage Partick for a second time between 1983 and 1986. His final appointment was with Dumbarton.

Celtic Played Politehnica Timisoara of Romania (Rumania) in the Cup Winners Cup

Hibernian

Miller’s big break came when he signed for Hibernian, and made his debut during the end of the 1997-98 season. A loan spell at Stenhousemuir saw Miller score five doubles – 10 goals – in 11 league and Scottish Cup games, before he returned to Hibernian to establish himself as a regular player. Highlights of his four years at the club included being top scorer in season 1999-00 and receiving the Scottish Young Player of the Year crown in 2000

Paul Kenneth Dalglish (born 18 February 1977 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer who currently plays for Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premier League.

Biography

Dalglish, son of former Scotland international Kenny Dalglish, started his career as a youth player with Celtic before joining Liverpool, but made no appearances for either of his father’s former clubs.

Dalglish was then signed by his father for Newcastle United, he made 14 appearances, scoring one goal. After a successful loan spell, he permanently joined Norwich City in 1999 for £300,000, but failed to establish himself though he scored 17 goals in three years at the club.

Dalglish went on to have brief spells with Wigan Athletic (loan), Blackpool, Scunthorpe (loan), Linfield and Italian club Modena.

After this, Dalglish considered a media career, which resulted in finding himself a small interview slot on cult Saturday-morning Sky Sports program Soccer AM, although this was short-lived due to the resurgence of his football career.

Having considered retiring from football, Dalglish was given a lifeline when newly-appointed Livingston manager Paul Lambert signed him and, despite struggling near the bottom of the SPL, Dalglish impressed, scoring in a narrow 2-1 defeat to Celtic.

Dalglish’s performances attracted the attention of Hibernian manager Tony Mowbray, and on the final day of the January 2006 transfer window, he joined the Edinburgh club for a nominal fee. After being sidelined with injuries, Dalglish left Hibs in August 2006 to play for Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo. On November 5, 2006, the Dynamo defeated the Colorado Rapids 3-1 in the Western Conference final to earn a spot in its first MLS Cup as the Houston Dynamo. Dalglish scored twice and was named Man of the Match. However, he struggled with injuries and was released by Dynamo in the 2007 post-season.

He had talks with a few clubs in February 2008 including Scottish club Kilmarnock, with whom he signed a contract till the end of the season.

For the second successive season the Final was a Hibernian-Celtic affair. This time though it was a much poorer game as Hibernian retained the trophy in front of 49,204 thanks to the only goal of the game from Alan Gordon in extra time.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF DRY8R0UGH & CO. LTD.
ROSS GIBBONS
In a year of celebration of a hundred years of Scottish football a tournament in only its third year seems very young indeed
Therefore it is a source of great pleasure to myself and everyone ml Drybroughs that in this very short tune the Dtybrough Cup should so convincingly have established itself as a thrilling curtain raiser to the season to come—* season which we all hope will see Scotland Qualify for the World Cup and go on to great things in Munich.
That It has become a firm favorite so quickly is entirely due to the skill and competitive spirit of the great learns who have participated in the two tournaments so tar and the line up this year promises that 1973 will be equally exerting, with another great Hampden Final afternoon.
This tournament is only one of the activities of Scottish football wit/i which we have been associated in the past three years, and elsewhere in this programme you will find reference to the other tournaments we sponsor—the Drybrough Junior Trophy and the Drybrough Brewery Highland Cup both of which this year again provided exciting matches throughout the country and contribute also to the well-being of the game in Scotland.
Today however it’s the big clubs’ day. I hope there will be plenty ol goals and may the best team win \
Message from Mr. W. Lindsay

PRESIDENT. SCOTTISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE

As It* newly elected President of the Scottish Football League I would like to take this opportunity to send greetings to all football fans and to pledge my Presidency to devoting myself 10 seek all possible ways ol providing what the pundits call “brighter football’. I do so in the belief that the game has perhaps become too technical and the sport overshadowed by a desire to win at all costs, irrespective sometimes of the desires of the spectator.
I believe our sponsors today agree with me hence the qualification in this Competition being the number of goals scored in the previous season. Surely (he object of the game must be 10 score goals, and to do so deserve* reward
Sponsorship however can be a double-edged sword and the League have indeed been fortunate in finding sponsors who allow it 10 organise the competition without interference This leads to the perfect relationship between sponsors and the sponsored. We the legislators in football am being given an opportunity to provide “brighter football” with freedom from financial worry. We mutt not (ail. and the dubs Involved today carry a pleasant burden iu ensure that we do not. I feel confident that today’s final will not. indeed must not. let football down, and will convey the thanks of all of us to Drybroughs by making this a final to be remembered with the accent on attacking football and impeccable sportsmanship on the held-
I appeal also to fans to play their part and 10 accept victory or defeat for their favorites in a true spirit ol sportsmanship, and I wish them everywhere a truly enjoyable season to come

STEVE MURRAY (Midfiald) A great deal of focus will be on (his £50,000 buy from Aberdeen but it beams certain his busy style will hlnnd into the side and lift performances even further Once with Dundee, the Dumbarton boy looks ready to have one of his best ever seasons
GEORGE CONNELLY (Centre back) The quiet man of Parkhead who has found himself the centre- of controversy of late. Unfortunately rulod out of recent internationals, this splendid defenceman Is sure to emerge aft the keystone of the changing Celtic formation.
BILLY McNEILL (Centre back)
Now entering his 16th year with tho club Billy appears to be as durable as ever and ready to lead the side to a handful of new triumphs. “Billy can’t go on for ever”, if has been said. Recent form soys otherwise I
JIM BROGAN (Full back, mid-field) A tower of strength in defence Jim has earned international recognition through his no-nonsense approach.
KENNY DALGLISH (Forward)
With the way-going of Lou Macari, Kenny has taken over the high scoring act and this has led to international recognition. Is capable of snapping most chances in front of goal and looks an odds-on bet tor a high tally again this term.
BOBBY LENNOX (Forward)
Joined the club 12 years ago and n has been hinted he is a veteran. But twn goals in a pre-season game in lieland proved he is just as effective as ever and this suggests he will he as valuable as ever m the coming league and cup campa-gns.
HARRY HOOD (Forward) Like others in the Parkhead pool. Harry is called upon on specific occasions and hit clevor ball-work and shooting seems to pay of at just the right time. A player of quality who can slot into innumerable permutations.
TOM CALLAGHAN (Midfield) The long striding Fifer is usually given the risk of attacking tight defences with powerful runs and the openings are created by his hard work. Has proved to be n terrific purchase from Dunfermline
ANDY LYNCH (Winger) A
E3S.000 buy from Hearts last season. Andy impressed in the Pre-season games in Ireland. Fast strong and dlroct. he should prove a groat asset to the Celtic pool.
BRIAN McLAUGHLIN (Winger)
Having been carefully nursed over the past twn seasons, the vast potential of this eighteen year old now seems certain of being realised this term

HIBERNIAN

Looking for their First League Cup Win.

JIM HERRIOT —Goalkeeper. After gaining two League caps while with Dunfermline, he moved to Birmingham where his consistent play earned him six full Scotland caps. Returned to Scotland after a short spell in South Africa to join Hibs.
JOHN BROWNLIE—Right-back. Has a brilliant future in the game at the age of 21. Scored a spectacular winner against Rangers in the semi-final to cap a superb game. Now cstablihcd in Tommy Dochertys World Cup squad. Watch his over-lapping runs!
ERIC SCHAEDLER—Left-half.
Bought from Stirling Albion three years ago for the modest lee of £10,000 he has been developed as an outstanding player by manager Eddie Turnbufl. One of the stuffiest backs in the game. Watch his speed in recovery.
PAT STANTON—Right-half
A brilliant leotballer with the right ingredients in his make-up for team skipper. Is the play-maker of the Hibs side, but is equally efficient In the back four as “sweeper.” Rghtly rcstored to Scotland’s World Cup squad.
JIM BLACK-—Centre-half A steady. predictable player, who has revelled in the all-round improvement of the standard of the Hibs play. Was an established player with Airdrie before he was transferred east for £30,000 three years ago.
JOHN BLACKLEY—Left-hal[ A rugged, stocky little player who has captained Scotland’s Undcr-23 team. Very much the modern “sweeper”. Is in his 7th year at Easter Road. Firm in ihc tackle and a good “reader” of the play.
ALEX EDWARDS—Ourside-righr.
Signed for the throw-away fee of £14,000 from Dunfermline, he has been developed as a mid-field player by Eddie Turithull. Has a superb understanding with Pat Stanton, Uses the ball thoughtfully. Set up the move that allowed Brownlte in for the winner against Rangers in the semi-linal.
JIMMY O‘ROURKE -Inside-right. A striker who has hit five hat-tricks this season. Hard-working little chap with a powerful dig in his right foot. Is the penalty kick expert of the team.
ALAN GORDON centre-forward.
Here is a real bargain buy. Cost only £12,000 from I)undee United. Scored the opening two goals in the Dry. brough (‘up final win over Celtic in August. l4rilliant in the air, sophisticated on the ground.
ALEX CROPLEY —lnside-kft. Born in Aldershot of Scottish parents, hc played for Scotland against Portugal and Belgium last season. Though slightly built he hits the ball hard, and uses it well. The long through pass is his spe.iality.
ARTHUR DUNCAN—Outside-left.
Pace-man of the attack. Joined Hibs from Partick Thistle for £35,000. Has hit some spectacular goals this season from either flank. Got the last gol of the eight scored in the Drybrough Cup final.
JOHN HAZEL —Excellent young cover player for the forward line. Played well in the Drybrough Cup final in August at inside-right, and has proved a profitable deputy to Alan Gordon.
THE Hibs forward-line of Alex Edwards, Jimmy O’Rourke. Alan
Gordon, Alex Croplcy and Arthur
Duncan puts its best feet forward in
this Easter Road bullet sequence during
a recent training spell.
With 30 goals scored on their way to
today’s League Cap final. 33 in the
League and 15 in Europe, Hibs have
little to learn in the old-fashioned art
of sticking the ball in the net.
In all games this season the fabulous five of Easter Road have scored 63 goals—Edwards (2), O’Rourke (22 Gordon (21), Cropley (3), Duncan (15 Statistics which should not make ii difficult to work out the three l’ront runners
But you MUST keep yoursell in shape, as (1w boys are doing above.
Though the present attack is not quite as famous yet as the SmithJohnstone – Reilly – Turnbull – Ormond

In 72-73 the four lower sides were again eliminated immediately but the competition was still a success – a total of 67,000 watched the opening round. The Final was scheduled for Hampden – probably in anticipation of an Old Firm clash – but it was an all-green affair as Celtic bested Aberdeen 3-2 in front of 40,000 at Parkhead in the semis while Hibs crushed a full-strength Rangers (nine of the Cup-Winners Cup winning team plus Colin Jackson and Andy Penman) 3-0 before a crowd of 27,111.

But the competition had powerful detractors. None more so than Jock Stein who made his view quite clear in the match programme for the Aberdeen game: “I am one of those who are not really enamoured of this kind of cup-tie football at this time of year.”

Those comments were made at a time when Celtic were a very successful club.

The Final was a thrilling affair where Celtic came back from two down at the interval to take the game to extra time before Hibs triumphed 5-3. While the attendance of 49,462 was nowhere near filling Hampden, it was a reasonable attendance for the first week of August.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF DRYBROUGH La CO. LTD.—

ROSS GIBBONS
The 1971 Drybrough Cup roijrr,arnc,,r — the first eve, sponsored evern ezcluswely for Scottish clubs — was such a resounding success that it was difficult to envisage ever again reaching the same standards of excitement and interest. Nevertheless, here we are a year later with, it anything, all the ingredients toe an even greate, and more memorable event
Where else other than in Scotland could so much soccer talent be gathered together in one coin petition? It is with the utmost pride $bat we at Drybroughs associate ourselves alongside the Scottish F’or,tbail League with this tremendous conflict. We are honoured too that the League have chosen to experiment with the off-side fw in the Dry brouh Cup. an experiment dire crly in line with the aims of our tournament, to make .coccer even more attractive and enjoyable. I wish all of you here today a great match arid, whet more can one say but, “may the best team win f’

Message from Mr J. R. Aitken PRESIDENT, SCOTTISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Another season is almost with us end again the Drybrough Cup Competition supplies the aperitif. I trust the snappy nature of the tournament will prove an exciting and corn• patitivo pipe opener to an vritbjl season.
The teanle concerned qualified for places on their goal-scoring records, and it is to be hoped that this ability will be in ample evidence in the various games. and the fans rewarded by exhibitions of a high quality.
Throughout the series a variation on the offside rule will be tested and no doubt the several authorities whO recommend the experiment will watch the outcome wth interest. Briefly. it is proposed to extend the penalty area lines to the touch lines and the present offside rule will only apply between the respective goal lines and penBlty lines.
Finance and prolee,uriel football are nseparable and every avenue which provides additional money must be explored and suppur ted where itS benefits would be ri the best interests of the game.
The present tournament in its second year will again, I am sure, prove beneficial to the sponsors, the League clubs arid tlic fans.
On behalf of the Management Committee I wish it every success

Hibernian Pen Pictures

JIM HERRIOT (Goalkeeper) Returned to Scotland lest season after a spell in South Africa to make a considerable impression in the reshaped Hibs side- Herriot has had international experience and was a regular during Scotland’s last bid for a World Cup place.
JOHN BROWNLIE (Full back) Rated to be one of Tommy Docherty’s top discoveries for Scotland and at 20 years of age must have a brilliant future aheat Made his international dehut in Russia in Bobby Browns squad and later became an automatic choice,
BILLY McEWAN (Full back)
Another Easter Road youngster who has muved into First Division football with impact. Formerly a ground staff boy, he has been used in a variety of roles with success. Recruited from the junior club Pumpherston.
JOHN BLACKLEY (Wing half) An unyielding defender who has also moved into the international lime light. Captained the Under 23 side over a year ago and in the past season proved to be one of the strong men in the I-fibs line-up. Came to Easter Road in 1965 from the ace juvenile club Gsirduch.
JIM BLACK (Centre half) One of the club’s big money buys of recent times Made his name at Airdrie and was signed for a £30,000 fee. A regular in the side and blends perfectly alongside Ftleckley and Stanton .
PAT STANTON (Wing half) One of the country’s outstanding defence men. Skipper of the side. Stanton has picked up over 20 representative honours and looks set for many more. Capable of turning out in any role and is perhaps most effective pushing up with hit attack.
ERIC SCHAEDLER (Full back) Bought from Stirling Albion to’ £10,000 during the Willie McFarlane era at Easter Road, this player truly emaroed last season. Fast on the overlap, he fits perfectly into the set-up.
ALEX CROPLEY (Wing half, Winger) So often in the headlines before an injury ruled him out for
most of lest term. Another man in Tommy Docherty’s eye. he is also high on the fist of a number of English clubs.

JIMMY O’ROURKE (Inside forward) One of the longest serving players at Easter Road yet is still in his twenties! The penalty ace in the sida, he was among the goals last term and in common with most of his mates is adaptable, Generally regarded as a striker these days.
ALAN GORDON (Centre forward) A cultured player with a deceptively lazy style, but without question is one of the finest headers of the ball in the game today. A £12,000 buy from Dundee United, Gordon has proved to be one of Eddie Turnbull’s smartest purchases. An MA at Edinburgh University, Gordon Is now completing training to be an accountant.
JOHN HAZEL (Midfield) Another young man who occasionally comes into the side to underline the wealth of talent available. Appeared in the Cup Final side in an attacking role.
ARTHUR DUNCAN (Winger) Joined Hibs from Partick Thistle for £35,000. One of the fastest winqers around and in top Form is a real headache for defences. A qualified chiropodist.
BERTIE AULD (Inside forward) Known for the tremendous contribution he gave Celtic in the late ‘60s. Now in the veteran category. his experience is still invaluable and he was used as substitute in the Cup Final.

What the Players have to say

The pre-season battle for full fitness is over, Football is back with a bang and in the coming weeks the big chase for success and glory goals and points will be under way with a vengeance
But before the ‘bread and butter’, the Drybrough Cup has to be won. and this year this sponsored competition has been bigger and better than ear.
How do the players sum up football backed by big business? Does an aIl’ection start to the season appeal to them?
Vie gathered together a number of the men who have been involved this week and quizzed them on these points. Here they give their own viewpoints.
TOMMY McLEAN (Rangers)
“The game must get an extra-special edge if there in a cup to be won Up until now I have never taken part in sponsored football but I feel this is the best possible start to a season. Players would much rather play in a competition of this kind at home as against traveling long distances to take part in friendly games.”
HARRY HOOD (Celtic)
“The Cup provides the fans with what they really want at this time of year. It comes up with a quick result in contrast to the long slog in other cup tournaments, In addition it gives clubs a proper build-up for the hard games ahead and certainly gives us, the players, a chance to attain full fitness, It can be argued the game is being bogged down with competitions but lets face it, clubs would carry on anyway to get a string of games fixed before the League Cup’
DAVY WILSON (Dumbarton)
“Sponsorship is great for the game and it gives the smaller clubs a real boost The tournament comes at just the right time as people have been away from football for some time and they have a fresh appetite. As far as we at Dumbarton are concerned, the competition gives us a chance to get the feel of First Division football at a high level . . – and that can’t be bad I”
BOBBY CLARK (Aberdeen)
“The game can only benefit if money is put into it and used in a proper manner, At no time do we treat the tournament as a pre-season warm-up . . . it is the first real competition of the season and in time Im sure it will be acceptud as part of the programme for every year. The competition is a good idea in every way and with the top scoring sides from the two Leagues involved, the injection of less fancied aides always appeals As the Wetnay Cup in England proved, the smaller clubs can come oul on top.”
ALEC STUART (Montrose)
“This kind of set-up is the lifeblood of the game and I fool morn ideas of this kind must come along We would all like to think the experiment has been successful and that the promoters will be willing to continue In the future.”

DRYBROUGH CUP FINAL PREVIEW

By FRASER ELDER (Impact Sports Syndication)
Us the Drybrough Cup for goals I And the new Scottish season has got off to something of a flier thanks to the fresh infusion of a sponsored tourney specifically slanted at getting the ball in the net
In the space of a week Scottish football fans have seen a new look start to the season and it’s hard to imagine how interest in any season could be built up with the almost casual kick-about between trial teams.
I’m sure every fan can remember ihose Whites versus Blues or Reds versus Stripes trial games that ushered in each season in every ground.
Now sponsored football has injected a real bite into the game and before very long this kind of competition will become a must on the calendar.
In the past few days the Scottish goal merchants have been hitting the headlines thanks to their consistency last season. In the First Division Celtic cracked home 89 goals with Harry Hood leading the way and championship challengers Aberdeen came up with 68. Joe Harper paying his way with around a third of that total.
Other Drybrough Cup entrants. St. John- stone and Airdrie scored 59 and 60 respectively and with the four totals in mind, the efforts of the clubs this term win make interesting reading
Heading for a spell in the top grade are Partick Thistle and East Fife who between them scored a total of 164 goals (78/86) and
they were joined by Dumbarton and Arbroath, the two genuine Second Division outfits,
It’s refreshing to note the last named sides put together 167 goals to claim a Drybrough Cup place and there seems little doubt that forwards in Div II will be all out this season to emulate the pioneers in the new tourney.
Much has been written and talked about new ideas for football and envious eves have often been cast south at the thrilling Watney Cup sagas which lift the English curtain on new seasons
The events of the past week have proved Scotland is about to get into step and besides today’s Fmaliscs, every partici – pating club deserves full credit for blasting the northern game firmly into the 1971 -72 season
For clubs like Celtic, Aberdeen, and St. Johnstone the week has given them the perfect chance to get onto a suitable wavelength for coming European clashes.
Whatever the outcome of today’s Final.
the first big football occasion of season 1971 -72 . . . it seems to me the fans will applaud th,s refreshing start for the weeks and months to come.
It’s said football will soon be a 12 months in every year game. That may be so. But if standards are improved, more goals are scored and the fans everywhere get full value for money I) raise a glass of Drybrough’s to that I

Scottish Football Needs Sponsorship

Says ALEX CAMERON
Daily Record
Like a pint of their Keg Heavy, there’s more to the Drybrough Cup Tournament than the inviting froth on the top.
It has been a controversial £25,000-worth of valuable soccer sponsorship from the start with not less than £1,000 going to each club.
The brew has been challenged, but it survived the Test of an all-club League vote on who should be required to participate. A handsome majority ruled that clubs were compelled to take part.
The Drybrough draught has meant well- paid limber-ups as well as welcome buy for clubs like Dumbarton, St. Johnstone, Partick Thistle, East Fife, Airdrie and Arbroath.
True, Celtic and Aberdeen have fans enough to live in the style the others would clearly like to become accustomed to-and without sponsorship. But as a general rule the benefactors from the world of business could not be more welcome in the changing world of football.
Scottish clubs, sadly. are feeling the pinch because fewer and fewer bids are being made for their players from England. Ally MacLeod. manager of Ayr Utd., who is something of an expert in the currently restricted market, forecasts that there will be even fewer transfer moves in the near future.
Dunfermline’s cash crisis would have come years ago hut for the money from transfers hut these ended with the £40.000 they got from Coventry for Roy Barry. Now the Fifers have moved into an austerity age and they, like others, are looking very much to sponsorship.
Big clubs like Celtic sce the big advantages of sponsorship for the poorer clubs.
Run the Drybrough way sponsorship is a boon. For, the day the tournament was announced, Managing Director Ross Gibbons told me on T.V. that his firm would not interfere in the running of the competition. “That” he said, “iS up to the Scottish League, They will organise the football aspect of it.”
This is really the only way sport and business can get along. In my view to try to achieve finalists with the widest appeal by seedings merely to please the sponsor gives a competition a phoney look.
There has been nothing like this connected with the zippy, have-a-go Drybrough tournament in which the qualifiers were chosen because of their ability to score goals. It’s goals the fans want most of all with style a close second——and 1 hope that’s what they see in this final.
It’s very likely that Drybrough’s have helped to interest others in sponsorship as a sales aid. In Britain, we have been curiously slow to encourage sponsorship.
Not so other countries. In South America, for instance, the great Pele has been able to stay with his Santos club only because of the commercial contracts to which he has lent his name.
Pele will advertise anything from . . . well, er . . . a pint to a barrel of beer. And he is now the best-heeled soccer gent in the world.
The Scottish League are just as aware as his lordship Pele of the benefits big business can bring. That is why, after careful thought, they took up L)ryhrough’s offer.
The Juniors got their share, too, and their sponsored tournament was a big success thanks to Drybrough’s.
One of the keenest of all Scotish clubs bosses on sponsorship is L)irector-Manager Hal Stewart. of Morton, who says. “Sponsorship is the thing of the future. The more money which goes into a game the better. Sponsors can gain from football, but let’s remember the benefits are mutual.”
Hal’s one regret is that Morton failed to qualify for this year’s Dryhrough Cup. Perhaps next time .

PEN PICTURES OF ABERDEEN

BOBBY CLARK (Goalkeeper). 6 ft. 12 St. Clark is at the moment Scotland’s number one keeper and has represented Scotland in their last five Internationals. First capped in 1967 against Wales, Clark joined Aberdeen from Queen’s Park in 1965 and in that time has proved to be a first class buy. At one stage of his career, it looked as if he was bound for Rangers, but Bobby remained at Pittodrie and is today the established number one.
HENNING BOEL (Full-back). 5 ft. 11 ins. 12 St. 7 lbs. Henning joined Aberdeen from American League side Washington Whipps in 1968 and has been an ever present first team man since. A Danish International, he is considered to be one of the toughest full-back’s in the First Division. He won a Scottish Cup medal with Aberdeen two seasons ago.
GEORGE MURRAY (Full-back). 5 ft. 11 ins. 11 St. 7 lbs. George joined Aberdeen from Motherwell four years ago and has proved to be a grand buy. Like Boel, George is a tough tackling back and has played a vital part in Aberdeen’s recent successes. George’s brother Cameron is with Second Division side St. Mirren.
STEVE MURRAY (Wing-half). 5 ft. 8 ins. 11 St. Steve is Aberdeen’s most expensive signing. Signed from Dundee for a £50,000 fee some 18 months ago Steve played a big part in the Dons near miss Championship run last term and is on the verge of full International honours. One of the finest passers of the ball in Scotland, Murray reads a game well and at 24 has many more years of top class soccer ahead of him.
TOMMY McMILLAN (Centre-half). 6 ft. 11 St. 3 lbs. McMillan has been with Aberdeen for six seasons, signing in 1965 from junior side Neilston. Strong and commanding in the air, Tommy played a vital part in Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup win over Celtic. Although he is receiving tough competition from youngster Willie Young for the number five berth, Tommy is at the moment the number one choice.
MARTIN BUCHAN (Wing-half). 5 ft. 9 ins. 11 St. The youngest and one of the finest club skippers in the First Division, Buchan was the man who led Aberdeen to Scottish Cup glory An International, Buchan is a quiet fellow off the field and prefers to lead by example rather than command. One of the finest mid-field players in Scotland. he looks set for further International caps in the near future.
ALEX WILLOUGHBY (Right-wing). 5 ft. 8 iflS. 10 st. 5 lbs. Alex joined the Dons from Rangers in 1969 for a substantial fee. Although he played much of his football last season as substitute, he nevertheless played a vital part in the Pittodrie set-up. Alex was with Rangers for nine years and in that time made over 120 appearances for the light-blues. A cousin of Jim Forrest. Alex is 26 years of age and operates mainly in mid-field.
DAVID ROBB (Inside-forward). 5 ft. 11 ins. 12 St. Davy joined Aberdeen after spell with Chelsea in 1965 and has in the past couple of seasons emerged as a star. A regular in the Scotland team, Davy scores goals as well as making them and is considered one of the most dangerous forwards in Scotland.
JIM FORREST (Centie-foward). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. 4 lbs. Jim emerged last season as a real force in the front line. After a lean spell in English football with Preston North End, Jim joined the Dons in 1968 for a £25,000 fee. He was recalled to the Scotland team last season after an absence of four years and proved he was well worth a second chance.
JOE HARPER (Centre-forward). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. 7 lbs. Harper was Aberdeen’s top scorer last season with 27 goals and was one of the main reasons why the Dons managed to secure a Drybrough Cup place. Although Joe hit a lean spell towards the end of the season and indeed lost his first team place, he was nevertheless a vital cog in the Pittodrie wheel. Joined Aberdeen from Morton for a £35,000 fee two years ago after a spell in English football with H uddersfield.
ARTHUR GRAHAM (Left-wing). 5 ft. 7 ins. 10 St. One of the biggest prospects in Scotland, Graham established himself in the side in the Scottish Cup final against Celtic and played a vital part in the Dons victory. Still only 18 years of age, Graham looks certain to become a really big name.
JIM HERMISTON (Full-back). 5 ft. 9 ins, joined Aberdeen in 1965, and has been an almost regular first team man since. He was a member of the Cup winning side and made nearly 40 first team appearances last term.
lAIN TAYLOR (lnside-forwad). 5 ft. 6 ins. 10 St. Taylor, who joined the Dons in 1965 from local junior side Banks 0’ Dee, made around 20 first team appearances last season and found the net on five occasions Although small in build, he is a hard player to dispossess.

ALL ABOUT THE CELTIC PLAYERS

EVAN WILLIAMS (Goalkeeper). 5 ft 11 ins. 12 St. Williams joined Celtic from Wolves just two years ago after a rather lean time in the English League and soon established himself in the side. Good in the air, Williams was for some time with Third Lanark, the now defunct Scottish League club. Faces a strong challenge from John Fallon for the first team spot.
DAVID HAY (Full-back). 5 ft. 8 ins. 10 St. 7 lbs. Reckoned by many to be the finest back north of the border and is an established International. Hay joined Celtic in 1965 and for the past two seasons has been a regular first team man. Hay reads a game well and likes to come up and have a crack at goal.
TOMMY GEMMELL (Full-back). 6 ft. 12 st. Last season was not Gemmells best for the club and he spent much of the season in the reserve side. Nevertheless, on his day, there are few better than big ‘Tam. He joined Celtic ten seasons ago and has given the club great service.
JIM BROGAN (Wing-half). 5 ft. 8 ins. 11 si. 7 lbs. Last season was without doubt, Jim’s best for the club and as well as establishing himself firmly at Parkhead, he also won a place in the Scotland side. One of the hardest tackling players in Scotland, Jim has been with Celtic for nine seasons, joining them from junior football.
BILLY McNEILL (Centre-ha/f). 6 ft. 1 in. 1 2 st. Billy as well as being club skipper, is also Celtic’s longest serving player. He joined the club in 1957 from Blantyre Vics and in his time at Parkhead has led Celtic to every honour possible. He was captain of the European Cup winning side in 1967 and also led the side which lost the 1970 final.
GEORGE CONNELLY (Ha/f-back). 6 ft. 1 in. 12 si. George joined Celtic in 1966 and has been groomed to take over the number five spot when McNeill hangs up his boots. Like McNeill, Connelly is good in the air and reads a game well. An under 23 cap, he was a regular first team man last term.
JIM CRAIG (Full-back). 5 ft 11 ins. 11 st. 12 lbs. Jim, a dentist as well as a footballer, has been with Celtic for six years, joining them in 1965 from Glasgow University. In his time at Parkhead he has won almost every honour possible and has been capped for Scotland.
JIMMY JOHNSTONE (R,ghr-wing). 5 ft.
4 ins. 9 St. 2 lbs. Without doubt, Jimmy John-
stone is one of the greatest wingers of all time.
He joined Celtic ten years ago and in that time
has played a vital part rn taking them to the top. A much capped International, Johnstone is the man the Continentals call the ‘flea’ and he is admired wherever he plays.
TOM CALLAGHAN (lnside-fo,wa,d). 5 ft. 10 ins. 11 st. Callaghan joined Celtic from Dunfermline three seasons ago for a fee believed to be in the region of £35.000. It was only last season that he began to really show his worth with Celtic. A League International. Callaghan is brother of Dunfermline full-back Willie.
HARRY HOOD (Cent,edorwaid). 5 ft. 10 ins. 11 st, Hood is the most expensive signing in the history of the club, coming to Parkhead in 1969 for a £40,000 fee from Clyde. He also had a spell with Sunderland. but never really settled. He was Scotland’s top scorer last term with more than thirty goals to his credit and is deadly in front of goal.
WILLIE WALLACE (Centre-forward). 5 ft 8 ins. 11 St. 3 lbs. Wallace, a Scottish Internationalist, joined Celtic from Hearts in 1966 for a £30,000 fee and has proved his worth to the club many times over. Along with Hood, he is the man responsible for the Parkhead club qualifying for the Drybrough Cup and has played a major part in the Celtic victories of the past few seasons.
BOBBY LENNOX (Inside-forward). 5 ft. 6 ins. 10 st. 5 lbs. Lennox has been with Celtic since 1961 and has played a major part in all the victories of the past six seasons. A member of the European Cup winning side, Lennox is a full International. Deadly in front of goal. he has scored many vital goals for the club.
BOBBY MURDOCH (Wing-half). 5 ft 10 ins. 12 st Like Lennox and McNeiII, Murdoch has been present on all the club’s great successes of the sixties. Although he spent a considerable time out of the first team last season, he is still very much a vital member of the Parkhead set-up.
KENNY DALGLISH (Inside-forwa,d). 5 ft. 9 ins, 10 St. 10 lbs. Daiglish has been with Celtic for four seasons arid is emerging as a star of the future. Played for the first team on a number of occasions last term and proved his worth to manager Stein.
LOU MACARI (lnside-fo,ward). 5 ft. 8 ins. 10 St. 5 lbs. Like DaIglish looks certain to become a really big name. A strong player, Macan has played in a number of first team games and has won a number of honours with the club, He joined Celtic in 1966 and has proved a first class signing.

CELTIC ACE – Jimmy Johnstone, TALKS ABOUT THE DRYBROUGH CUP

Football in the north has, in the past few years, become a game of defence against defence, according to Celtic star Jimmy Johnstone and he firmly believes the Drybrough Cup could be the answer to combat the defensive outlook.
The man on the terracing goes to a football match to see goals. But what does he see’? Defence against defence. It seems more and more sides in Scotland are Concentrating on defensive football.
It is no exaggeration to say that many of the teams who play Celtic regard a one or LWO goal defeat as a moral victory. They go out Ofl the park with the attitude that if they can keep the score down by playing defensive tootball then they will have done a good job.
I personally respect a side far more which comes at us and even if they lose heavily they are at least trying to score goals. This is where the Drybrough Cup can help.
Entry into the competition can be gained only by scoring goals and therefore any side which concentrates on purely defensive football throughout the season has no chance of entry.
When one considers the money to be made from sponsored football, then surely the

JIMMY JOHNSTONE—continued

Drybrough Cup is an incentive to go out and get goals.
Last season the Scottish sides involved in the Texaco Cup gave a good account of themselves against lnglish opposition, yet at International level Scotland were OflCC again trounced by England. Why does Jimmy think this is?
The answer is simple. team work. While England players play as a team, Scotland depend on individual talent and as everyone knows, team work will always win the day.
The Scottish sides did well in the Texaco because they were club sides, used to playing as a team, just as the England International side gives the impression of playing as a ‘club side’.
Celtic play as a club side. The manager Mr. Stein, has little time for players interested in only themselves and demands that everyone plays for the benefit of the club. This is why Celtic have been successful. They play as a team and have one object in mind— scoring goals.
Many people felt Celtic lost sonic of their shine last season. Asked if he thinks (his is so, Jimmy comments:
Celtic are as good today as they were five years ago. We won the Championship last season, the Scottish Cup and were beaten finalists in the League Cup and we also reached the last eight of the European Cup.
If we are slipping. it doesn’t say much for the other 17 First Division sides.
Honestly I don’t think anyone is going to challenge us this season. In my opinion Celtic are good for a long time yet. When we stop winning the Championship then maybe people can turn round and say we are slipping. Rut until that happens. we arc still in front.
Aberdeen put in a strong challenge last season, but I think the loss of their manager, Eddie Turnbull, will prove a big blow to them. He is dedicated to the game and it will be hard to replace him at Pittodrie.
Perhaps the Dons will come back in a couple of years. but they will take time to gather themselves.
Celtic were originally against taking part in the Drybrough. Why does .Johnstone think this was so?
Let’s be honest we don’t need the cash from the competition. But don’t get me wrong. The Drybrough Cup is a good thing for the game and for the smaller teams it has proved to be a first class proposition financially.
Perhaps the tournament will also sound the death knell for defensive football in Scotland and if that is so, then as far as I am concerned long may it continue.

Real name John Collins,

Date of birth 31-01-1968,
Place of birth Galashiels,
Position Midfielder,
Nationality Scotland,
International Caps 58,

John was SPFA young player of the year 1987-88 whilst with Hibernian.
John was won 58 caps for Scotland between 1988 and 2000.

Playing career

As a youngster he played both rugby and football before turning his attention strictly to football. At youth level, John played for Hutchison Vale between 1980 and 1984, captaining the side for four years, before signing as a professional with Hibernian. At the professional level, Collins played for Hibernian, Celtic, AS Monaco, Everton, and Fulham.

Hibernian

Collins played for Hibernian from 1984 until his million pound transfer to Celtic in 1990. During his 6 seasons with the club he played 195 times and scored 21 goals.

Celtic

Collins signed for Celtic in 1990, becoming their first million pound player. He generally played on the left side of midfield, scoring 47 goals in 217 appearances. He is unfortunate to have played in one of Celtic’s most barren spells and won only one trophy, the 1995 Scottish Cup.

Monaco and later playing career

Collins moved to AS Monaco in the summer of 1996 on a free transfer under the Bosman ruling. Celtic, under the direction of Fergus McCann, attempted to obtain compensation for the loss of Collins. McCann argued that the Bosman ruling did not apply to this case because AS Monaco are based in the principality of Monaco and are outside of European Union jurisdiction.

Collins won the French championship in 1997 with Monaco, who then reached the semi-final of the 1998 UEFA Champions League, defeating Manchester United in the quarter-final. Collins returned to the UK in the summer of 1998 by moving to Everton, before ending his playing career with Fulham.

Scotland

For Scotland, he scored 12 goals in 58 caps and played for his country at Euro 96 and the 1998 World Cup. He scored in the opening match of that World Cup, with a penalty against Brazil. Collins retired from international football after the aggregate defeat in the Euro 2000 playoff by England in November 1999.

After playing

After retiring from club football in the summer of 2003, Collins spent time with his family while also obtaining coaching qualifications, including the UEFA Pro licence. Collins has retained links with his former clubs. An amusing case of this was when Fulham signed a new player in 2004, John Collins introduced Collins John.

Hibs manager

On October 31, 2006 he was named as manager of Hibernian. Collins led Hibernian to their first piece of silverware in 16 years when they defeated Kilmarnock 5-1 in the Scottish League Cup Final on March 18, 2007.

Six points Wanted
Last Wednesday’s narrow victory over Dunfermline gave us ample consolation
for the Scottish Cup beating we had taken from the Fifers.
The team put up a far better showing than in the cup-tie, fighting furiously for
every ball and playing matchwinning football. With any luck in front of goal we
would have held a commanding lead by half time.
However, the result improved our League placing, and although Hibs went
down at Dundee on Saturday, we are still very concerned in the closing stages of the
title race.
Of course, the players must take six points from their, remaining games. Noth-
ing else will be good enough with three other clubs chasing the flag. And even then
we shall have to rely on other teams toppling Hearts from their top place—three
points ahead of the field.
Tonight it is my privilege to welcome Jock Stein and Celtic to Easter Road, a
quick return for the former boss. Hibs played well at Parkhead recently and I am
looking for the boys to produce their best form to master the Cup finalists.

SUMMER CUP

The Summer Cup fixtures were announced
at the weekend and Hibs, holders of the
trophy, will start their programme against
Hearts at Easter Road.

All the qualifying matches will be com-
pleted by May 19 and the entire competition
should be finished by June 2.

The Semi-finals are due on 22nd and 26th
May with the two-leg final on 29th May
and 2nd June.

Hibs are fortunate to have all three home
games on Saturdays, when attendances are
likely to be bigger.

Here are the fixtures in our Section:—

• May 1—Hibs v. Hearts; Falkirk v. Dunfermline.
• May 5—Dunfermline v. Hibs; Hearts v.Falkirk.
• May 8—Dunfermline v. Hearts; Hibs v.Falkirk.
• May 12—Hearts v. Hibs; Dunfermline v.Falkirk.
• May 15—Hibs v. Dunfermline; Falkirk v.Hearts.
• May 19—Hearts v. Dunfermline; Falkirk v.Hibs.

OUTSTANDING

Inside forward Jimmy O’Rourke and
centre half Derek Whiteford were outstand-
ing in Scotland’s 1-1 draw with England at
Newcastle last week in the final work-out
before the European Professional Youth
tournament in Germany.

Jimmy had the Scot’s goal and it was a
good performance to hold the English—
the current youth champions—on their own
ground.

The Scots will be setting out for Baden-
Baden next week to play Italy on 15th April
and Yugoslavia two days later. Twenty-
four countries are competing.

ALL SQUARE

Hibs and Kilmarnock will start all square
in their return match in the Reserve League
Cup semi final at Rugby Park next Monday
night.

Although the 1-1 draw in the first leg
here make Killie favourites for the final.
Hibs’ colts won at Rugby Park in the League
and can do so again.

MASCOT

Centre forward Vincent is certainly a mas-
cot against Dunfermline. He played three
times against the Fifers in last season’s Sum-
mer Cup—two games were drawn and Hibs
won the section decider at Tynecastle where
Stan had one of the three goals.

Last Wednesday he earned a winning
bonus again for a wholehearted display in
Hibs’ 1-0 success.

Neil Martin headed the goal that mat-
tered to boost his total for the season to 27
—a figure bettered only by Rangers’ Jim
Forest.

VITAL DAY

14tb April is going to be an impor^art day
for Hibs, and John Baxter, John McNamee
and Pat Quinn in particular. For that’s the
day the players will appear before the S.F.A.
Referee Committee as a result of having
three cautions apiece.

It is a blow to have three players in this
predicament at the one time. especially when
everything could depend on the final two
games against Airdrie at Easter Road next
week, and Partick Thistle at Firhill on 24th
April.

MR TOM HARTLAND

Mr Tom Hartland, 85, the former Hibs’
director, died on Sunday following a short
illness. He was made an honorary member
of the Club in 1963 after 30 years on the
Board.

HIBS TO MEET NOTTS FOREST
* * *
Hibs will be playing Nottingham Forest during their summer tour of Canada and America, though it is not yet certain whether they will manage to meet more than once. Until Hibs know how they are placed regarding the Summer Cup, no date can be fixed up.
The English club will be touring from mid-May to mid-June and may be ready to conclude their programme before Hibs arrive in Vancouver, the starting point on their travels. Hibs have been informed that their commitments will be in Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit,
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Toronto. It is
a wonderful chance. for the
players to see the United

all they can into the three-

OUR VISITORS
Congratulations to Celtic on winning their way into the Scottish Cup final for the seventh time since the war. The Parkhead club has had many Hampden disappointments since their last trophy triumph in 1953-54 when manager Jock Stein was the centre half, and they will make a tremendous effort to end their losing run against Dunfermline on 24th April. Victory in the cup would mean a passport to Europe and that will be manager Stein’s ambition.
Celtic skipper, Billy McNeil’s, will lead Scotland against England at Wembley on Saturday—a well deserved honour for a very
good centre half. And all his colleagues will be there to see him in action as Celtic have arranged a friendly match against Chelsea on Friday night.

JOHN FALLON (Goalkeeper—Waited
patiently to take over from Frank Haffey,
and then quickly established himself as a
big favourite with the Parkhead fans. Noted
for his all-green outfit, the red-haired
‘keeper joined the club in 1958 from Fauld-
house United.
IAN YOUNG (Right Back)—A reliable,
clean-kicking back who was on the fringe
of Under 23 recognition this season. A
couple of inches short of six feet, he was
recruited from Neilston Juniors around four
years ago.
TOMMY GEMMELL (Left Ba;k)—Gave
way to international defender, Jim Kennedy,
for two games recently, but quickly regained
the berth that virtually becomes his own.
The fair-haired defender signed in 1961 from
Coltness United.
BOBBY MURDOCH (Right Half)—An
inside forward with the strength and skill to
be converted into a first class wing half. An
Under 23 internationalist, he has been on
the club’s books for six years having been
spotted as a schoolboy with Our Lady’s
High.
BILLY McNEILL (Centre Half)—Skip-
pers Scotland at Wembley this weekend in
what will be his fourth appearance against
England. He has won well over 20 repre-
sentative honours and has many more to
come. The tall, dominating pivot is the sheet
anchor in the Parkhead defence. He joined
the club from Blantyre Victoria in 1957.
JOHN CLARK (Left Half)—A rugged,
^ 90 minute player who has happy memories
of Easter Road, where he scored the winning
goal in the last Scottish Cup game between
the clubs. Has been on the staff for seven
years, having been with Larkhall Thistle.
STEVE CHALMERS (Outside Right)—
Had a most successful run at centre forward
at the begin .ng of the season and was scor-
ing goals so freely that he played for hi-
country against Wales and Finland. Mon
recently he was on the right wing against the
English League. It is six years since he went
to Celtic Park from Ashfield.
CHARLIE GALLAGHER (Inside Right)
—Recently restored to the first team to add
poise to the attack. Probably the most accu-
rate distributor on the Celtic staff, he enjoys
a midfield role. Signed from Yoker Athletic
in 1958.
JOHN HUGHES (Centre Forward)—Now
the club’s top scorer after taking some time
to find his best form. A powerful and clever
leader who is one of the most dangerous
forwards in the game, as he showed at
Hampden when snapping up two chances for
the Scottish League. Has won Under 23
Tionou.rs, too. Joined me club in 1959 from
Shotts Bon Accord.
BOBBY LENNOX (Inside Left)—Has
developed into an ace opportunist as a result
of being ^iven an extended run in the first
team. Went to Celtic as an outside left, but
was fielded more often on the wing owing
to his lack of inches. Signed four years ago
from Ardeer Recreation.
BERTIE AULD (Outside Left)—Bought
back from Birmingham some weeks ago and
seems to be enjoying his second spell with
Celtic. A former internationalist, he won a
place in the last Scottish League team and is
using his experience to good advantage.
Scored five goals in the six-goal defeat of

Stein was appointed manager of Hibernian in 1964, and within months of becoming manager he led them to victory in the Summer Cup. The testimony of his contemporaries was that he was already “miles” ahead of everyone else in his understanding of the game, and in studying how the investment of energy could be tailored to maximum effect. Stein was immersing himself in the structure of the game while the rest simply went out and played.

On May 24th 2004, Mowbray was surprisingly appointed manager of Hibernian, replacing Bobby Williamson. He gained much acclaim for the job he has done, winning the SPL manager of the year award in his first season. Hibs finished in the top four in the SPL in his only two full seasons in charge. This marked the first time in three decades that Hibs had finished in the top four places of the top division in consecutive seasons.

Hibs progressed to the later stages of every domestic cup competition in his tenure, and made two appearances in European football, losing to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the 2005/06 Uefa Cup, and losing on the away goals rule to OB Odense in 2006/07 Intertoto Cup.

Tony Mowbray improved Hibernian into a team consistently challenging at the top end of the Scottish League for the first time in three decades. During his tenure, season ticket sales at Easter Road almost doubled.

Murdo Davidson MacLeod (born August 24, 1958 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

MacLeod made his name with Dumbarton in the late 1970s before moving to Celtic in 1979. During his nine years there he helped win five league titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup. He then moved to German club Borussia Dortmund, and after 4 years and 103 games he returned home to Hibernian, where he helped win a League Cup in 1991 under Alex Miller.

He made 22 appearances with the Scottish national team, playing in the World Cup finals in 1990, in Italy. After a successful playing career he returned to Dumbarton as player coach where he steered the club to promotion from Division 2 with a last day win over Stirling Albion in 1995. In the summer of ‘95 McLeod left the Sons to manage then Premier League Partick Thistle, where he had two poor seasons with the club, including relegation at the end of the 1995-96 season. In 1998 he joined Celtic as assistant coach under Wim Jansen.

Alan Sneddon

Full-back Alan Sneddon signed for Celtic in August 1977 from junior outfit Larkhall Thistle.
The Baillieston-born player was renowned for his excellent distribution and he made his debut in a Scottish Cup tie against Dundee at Parkhead and set up two goals in a 7-1 victory.
A regular in the side in the 1979-80 season he picked up a Scottish Cup winners medal after being part of the team that defeated Rangers 1-0 at Hampden.
He won a Championship winners medal the following season but was sold to Hibernian half-way through the campaign for £60,000 after losing his starting place to Mark Reid.
His move to the then First Division club allowed Sneddon to pick up two championship medals in the one season as he helped the Edinburgh side claim top spot in their division.
Sneddon proved to be a great buy for Hibs and was to be an Easter Road stalwart for 11 years.

Patrick Gordon Stanton the greatest ever player in the history of Hibernian? Not sure but but he definitely make s the short list.

Stanton

Pat made his debut for the club against Motherwell in October that year. He quickly established himself in the first team, playing in defence or midfield, and featured in the club’s European victories over CF Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Sporting Clube de Portugal in the 1960s and 1970s.

Pat has 16 caps earned between ‘66 and ‘74.

Pat was Scottish Football Writers Association player of the year 1970.

Stanton captained Hibernian to their 1972 League Cup win and also led them in their centenary year, but left the club in 1976 when he went to Celtic in a swap deal that took Jackie McNamara to Hibernian. It was at the Glasgow club that he completed his medals collection, winning the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League championship. He also won 16 caps for Scotland.

He got his start in management when Alex Ferguson made him his assistant at Aberdeen, and after learning the ropes there he was appointed manager at first Cowdenbeath and then Dunfermline Athletic, before he returned to Hibernian in 1981. His spell in the manager’s chair at Easter Road was not overly successful and he resigned in 1983.

Auld left Celtic again in 1971 this time joining Hibernian on a free transfer. While at Easter Road he combined his playing role with one as a trainer, eventually focusing solely on the latter role.

He started a career as a manager in 1974, when appointed by Partick Thistle, where he would stay for six seasons.

He returned to Edinburgh as Hibs manager in 1980 (15-11-1980 to 15-09-1982 ) , in an attempt to revive the club following their relegation in the 1979-80 season. He succeeded in this end but was replaced by Pat Stanton in 1982. He then briefly managed Hamilton Academical before returning to manage Partick for a second time between 1983 and 1986. His final appointment was with Dumbarton.

Ronald “Ronnie” Campbell Simpson (October 11, 1930 – April 19, 2004) was a Scottish football (soccer) goalkeeper.

He is mainly remembered for his time with Celtic, where he was one of the Lisbon Lions, the first British team to win the European Cup in 1967. Although having little to do during the match, his fancy footwork when dealing with a backpass was one of the highlights of the match.

Before this, he played for Queen’s Park, Third Lanark, Newcastle United (where he won the FA Cup twice after taking over as Newcastle’s regular goalkeeper from Jack Fairbrother) and Hibernian. Thought to be in the last throes of his career, he was transferred to Celtic in 1965 as cover for John Fallon. Simpson’s anticipation, handling and maintaining his concentration during long periods of inactivity, made him an ideal goalkeeper for the attack-minded Celtic; and he soon won the Celtic number one place from Fallon.

He also played for the Scotland national football team, in particular when they beat England 3-2 in 1967, which was Simpson’s international debut at the age of 36.

Simpson’s father Jimmy Simpson also played for Scotland, and enjoyed notable success as a centre-half for Rangers and Dundee United in the 1930s.

After he retired as a player, he was manager of Hamilton Academical for a year. He also served on the pools panel, which guessed results of postponed matches in periods of exceptionally bad weather.

He died on 19 April 2004, from a heart attack.
