Hibs v Rangers - The Spirit of 2016

My eldest son is a Season Ticket holder who has been an East Standing Section stalwart since it opened in 2010. Yet when faced with the choice of an outdoors event in the Highlands or a ticket for the final in May 2016, he chose munro bagging and watching Ospreys in Boat of Garten instead.

He simply didn't rate our chances. Nobody did really, particularly the Scottish football media. To be honest, not many Hibs Supporters did, even though the Cream Buns weren't the force they are today.

What we didn't reckon on was the will to win of that team. When we brought Liam on, the midfield four of McGeoch, McGinn, Fyvie and Hendo fought like Trojans whilst our defence pressed forward past the half way line. They put Rangers under so much pressure that last 20 minutes that they turned defeat into victory.

In my avatar I can be seen on the pitch celebrating with my youngest lad. How many times have I recreated that memory and of the parade down Leith Walk in my mind and imagined the three of us celebrating together.

Apologies for the ramble. But was there a Hibs victory over the smellies that you missed but wished you had been there?
