Rep Power: 4 Seven Tattoos is on the way to a first team debut
Under Par

The penultimate time that Dunfermline Athletic Football Club ousted Hibernian FC from the Scottish Cup was at the same stage as we'll meet on Sunday; they beat us 2-0 at Swinecastle in 1965. They then lost 3-2 in a Scottish Cup final that has gone down in history as Jock Stein's first trophy success for the jungle jims. Mr Stein, of course, had eschewed his current employers for the bright lights of Bridgeton Cross only a couple of months earlier; his last act as Hibs manager being to lead us to a Scottish Cup KO of the Sons of William.

We haven't actually met them often in the 'Scottish' in the intervening 42 years. I think I'm right in saying we beat them after replays in both 78-79 and 80-81 and two years in succession (85-86 and 86-87) we enjoyed home 2-0 victories in the 3rd round.

Of course, they beat us 2-0 in a replay at ER on Thur 6 Mar 2003. In front of a pitiful crowd of just 5,000. I think there were more Taffs in the Hibs end that night (up for that weekend's rugger) than Pars fans in the W&M stand.

Either way, there's a lot at stake on Sunday.

I don't need to remind anyone that they've won the Cup more recently than us; 3-1 v a certain pile of piles from Gorgie in 1968.

Here's hoping that that result is still their last success over an Edinburgh team at Hampden come 5 o'clock on Sunday.

Have no fears. Hibs will win on Sunday and comfortably too
