Of more interest than the details of this game (apart from the sight of Mixu doing his stuff in the Arabs' number 11 shirt) was the report below of Hibs' proposals for league reconstruction.

Cynics would observe that Hibs were only two points off the bottom of the Premier League at this point, having scored a measly 9 goals in 17 matches. Mind you, having said that we were only three points behind Celtic in 5th place who lost 2-1 at home to Dunfermline on this day.

Nevertheless it is interesting to note that it took over ten years for 'the split' to become reality. Also interesting is the comment that attendances were in decline because spectators have less cash to spend on activities such as football. Has it also taken more than ten years for the powers that be to realise this fact as well?
