Welcome to Easter Road for this afternoon’s Ladbrokes Championship match against Saint Mirren.

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our guests from togetherness within the squad to push a result like that Paisley this afternoon, whether they are players, over the line. coaching staff or supporters. We also thoroughly enjoyed the rendition of Sunshine on We have been on a fine run of form ourselves – and I have Leith at the end of the game, it was a spectacle that we to mention the fine win on Wednesday night. I thought want to see more of at Easter Road, and it is something I my team, to a man, played excellently and all contributed feel we can achieve. to the performance in their own unique ways. Enjoy this afternoon’s game. At the back we were rigid, we held our own against a side that had previously won eight matches out of eight GGTTH, in domestic fixtures and restricted their chances. In the Alan Stubbs midfield we had the blend of defensive stoutness and were also threatening going forward in the attack.

When we pushed for goals our strikers remained dangerous and alert to the opportunities that presented themselves and we were duly rewarded when ’ fantastic strike gave us the lead.

We experienced the crowd at Easter Road erupting once again and it was a joy to behold. I could see the lift it gave our players, and they were already on a high, so it boosted them an awful lot. Dominique Malonga exemplified the 4 quality he possesses with his run and finish. He was calm, took his time and assessed his options well, fortunately he decided to pursue a second goal and we got it.

That display from everyone involved was great and as the Head Coach I was delighted to see them do that. It really does show the quality we have in the team at this moment in time, and that there is a real sense of

Hibs had not long lost 6-1 to Celtic in a Scottish Cup Final, And he was not wrong. Edwards would enjoy a fine spell and with defeat fresh in the minds of the players, it was at Dunfermline – including featuring in the Fife outfit’s stunning 6-2 victory over Spanish giants Valencia at East End Park. To put that into perspective it was the first time a British club had toppled the might of Los Che.

After winning the Scottish Cup in 1968, playing a prominent role on the right-wing in the 3-1 victory over Heart of Midlothian, Edwards remained at Dunfermline for three more years. It was not until 1971 that the thrilling winger moved across the Firth of Forth to play in green and white. 20 was the manager at the time, and his shrewd acquisition of Edwards came in at £13,000.
