Peter Cormack sent off.

I need help with this as my memory is a bit cloudy.
But as I remember Hibs sold Cormack to Nottingham Forest with an agreement that they would play Hibs at Easter road later in the year for a friendly.
I remember in that friendly Cormack put the head on a Hibs player big hit and dropped him to the ground. As a result he was sent off.
What I need to know,
Was it Nottingham forest or perhaps Sunderland?
Who was the Hibs player?
What was the score?
I remember there was quite a big crowd there so some of you would have been there.
Certainly a dark day for a Hibs legend.

Was it no Bristol City in the Anglo-Scottish Cup? 1-1 I think. Cannie mind Hibs player.

It was indeed.
Hibs drew 1-1 with Bristol City in the Anglo Scottish Cup in 1977,and Peter Cormack was sent off after headbutting Des Bremner.
Chairman Tom Hart branded them "Butchers" in a comment after the game.

That was the two legged final wasn't it?

As others have said, pretty sure the head butt and sending off were when he was playing for Bristol City in the Anglo-Scottish v Hibs. Peter was sold by Hibs to Forest, spent a shortish and successful time at the City Ground and was then taken by Bill Shankly to Liverpool. After his time there he went to Bristol City.
