Yep, JJ is correct - it is Ray Dunlop. I've got the wrong date on my photo files. It's the game at Fester on 4/11/1978 with Ray Dunlop in goal. We played them there three times that season and used three different goalkeepers. We won 2-1 on 4/11, 1-2 in the Cup on 10/3/1979 with John Brough in goal and then 1-1 a week later on 17/3/1979 with Thomson Allan in goal.

That game on the 4/11/78 came off the back of wins at Pittodrie and beating Celtic at Tynie. Was at all 3 - season went rapidly downhill after that !

Was at all 3 - season went rapidly downhill after that ! There was a 0-0 draw with Rangers at Tynecastle in that sequence, too. A good 7 points from 8 after a rocky start. I wasn't there but that derby win was the first I'd really experienced, aged 10. Our previous win in 1973 was just a wee bit to early for me to recall. As was the defeat earlier that year, thankfully. First derby I clearly remember my dad going to, whilst I kept up on the radio at my Nan's, was the 1976 New Year game. He, apparently, left ER when Hibs went 3-0 up in the first half and arrived back in Oxgangs at FT. I remember him being relieved it had got no worse. Thankfully, Wallace, Doddie, Robbo etc. put a stop to all that nonsense by the time I was in my teens. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen H 1-4 Celtic A 0-4 Hibs H 1-1 What a start to the season. That Hibs match is the one I remember most from the 70's - You could sense an atmosphere around Tynecastle that day and boy did it all kick off. Don't think they put the away fans in the school end again after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
