Hibs 1-4 Hearts, 2 January 1991, Easter Road

Although Hearts had been languishing on the same points as Hibs before this match, the only truly remarkable thing about the result is that John Robertson didn't get on the scoresheet. Even Hibs solitary effort (only their tenth in 19 matches) was an own goal by Gary Mackay. Results elsewhere left Hibs bottom of the league.

Now, about that league reconstruction idea...

Worth noting the effect that live satellite broadcasting had on the attendance for this game, which was more than 6000 below capacity. Or maybe Hibs fans' legendary optimism had something to do with it, at a time when subscriptions to Sky were considerably fewer than nowadays.
