bbc story

Ayr United reached the first major final in their 98-year history with a battling CIS Insurance Cup semi-final win over Hibs.

An extra time penalty strike from Eddie Annand was enough to separate the sides and set up a 17 March meeting with Rangers.

The First Division side were more than a match for their SPL opponents and former Hibs men Paul Lovering, John Hughes and Pat McGinlay all played significant roles in the usurping of their old club.

The match was watched by a derisory crowd of 11,779 and the action on the Hampden pitch was equally muted.

An over-fussy performance from referee Mike McCurry and a badly cut up playing surface did not encourage free-flowing football.

Hibs started brightly and were anxious to involve Ulises de la Cruz down the right flank, but the Ecuador international was in subdued mood.

Hibs midfielder Grant Brebner was quick to support his forwards and was twice denied a goal in the first 15 minutes.

John Hughes grapples with Garry O’Connor
The former Manchester United man had a smart shot saved by Craig Nelson and soon after David Craig popped up on the goal-line to clear a deflected shot.

David Zitelli, replacing the injured Paco Luna in the Hibs front line, blazed a good chance on the volley high over the bar from just ten yards out.

Ayr had to wait until the 23rd minute to threaten, but Nick Colgan gathered James Grady’s volley on the turn comfortably.

On the stroke of half time a great break from John Robertson saw the Ayr wing back burst past two Hibs defender and into the penalty box only to be stopped in his tracks by a timely Paul Fenwick intervention.

In the 58th minute a wonderful long pass from Annand found McGinlay running from deep, but the midfielder’s powerful shot went straight at Colgan.

A minute later, Zitelli went close with a header after good work from O’Connor.

Alen Orman, a replacement for the out-of-sorts de la Cruz, did well to create a shooting opportunity but Nelson held the low strike easily.

James Grady and Gary Caldwell joust for the ball
Eduardo Hurtado came on for Zitelli and almost set up a goal for O’Connor but, with the Ayr defence posted missing for the first time, his pass was heavy and allowed Craig to make a sliding block.

Ayr, growing in confidence, saw efforts from Lovering, Hughes and Paul Sheerin all go close as the 90 minutes ran down.

The First Division side began extra time with great determination and McGinlay made a mess of a diving header just six yards out.

After 98 minutes Ayr were awarded a penalty when Robertson tumbled under the challenge of Ian Murray.

Annand coolly blasted the ball high into the net from the spot.

Fenwick wasted a glorious chance to equalise when he scuffed a shot wide of the mark from right in front of goal.

Hibs poured men forward in search of a way back but they lacked invention in the final third and Ayr held firm.

Hibernian: Colgan, Smith, Fenwick, Caldwell, De la Cruz, Brebner, Wiss, O’Neil, Murray, Zitelli, O’Connor. Subs: Orman, Hurtado, Caig, Townsley, Riordan.

Ayr United: Nelson, Robertson, Hughes, Craig, Lovering, Sheerin, Duffy, McGinlay, Wilson, Annand, Grady. Subs: McLaughlin, Sharp, McEwan, Dodds, Scally.

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.

Tonight Opponents

CELTIC
Celtic have come out on top in
two previous meetings with
Hibs this season.
The Bhoys visited Easter Road
on day one of the season and
went away happy with a 2-0
win. |
Hibs then travelled to Glasgow ‘
in the League Cup and suffered a
5-1 defeat with the only moment of
joy coming from Mike Conroy’s
consolation goal.
It’s League Cup business again
tonight and Hibs are determined to
make amends.
Celtic sit on top of the section
with five points from three games.
Their goal tally is impressive,
with 12 scored for the loss of only
three.
I The Celtic line-up bristles with
| international names past and
; present including veteran Danny
,; McGrain, Roy Aitken, Frank
‘ McGarvey, Tommy Burns and
i, David Provan.
I Manager David Hay has been
chopping and changing his strike
(force this season trying to come up
with the right blend.
Recent signings Brian McClair,
‘ bought from Motherwell, and Jim
Melrose, tempted back to Scot
I land from Coventry City, had been
in and out of the line-up.
The stage is set for an interes-
ting 90 minutes whoever gets the
‘ nod from the rival managers.

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.

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
Iormnatiuii which won three championships 20 years ago. the modern line is every ht as dangerous, as teams like Spotting Lisbon, Ilesa, and others will conllrm.
