Hibernian FC, Season 1982/83, No. 16: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 29 January 1983 matchday programme — Scottish Cup 1983; Pat Stanton, Alex Ferguson, Alan Sneddon, Mark McGhee

Official Hibernian FC matchday programme for the Scottish Cup: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 29 January 1983, at Easter Road Park, Edinburgh. A Scottish Cup tie, kick-off 3pm, cover price 30p. The cover carries the Scottish Cup 1983 device, the competition sponsored by the Scottish Health Education Group. The cover picture is a duel from the past between Hibs and Aberdeen, Alan Sneddon pursuing Dons centre-forward Mark McGhee — the striker who had beaten Hibs on New Year's Day with a neat double at Pittodrie (Evening News picture). 'Manager's Comments' by Pat Stanton: Hibs were beaten 4-1 by Celtic the previous week but his views did not coincide with some of the verdicts over the weekend — Hibs contributed largely to the result by giving away silly goals, and there is no other way to describe some of the rash mistakes Celtic pounced upon, but it was by no means a one-sided affair. Hibs had some excellent chances and simply didn't take them, and that is a problem they have had to live with throughout the season. Celtic's third goal killed the game, but an early goal conceded at the start of each half has been the pattern. Ferguson has the resources to ring the changes without noticing absentees, and the Dons are challenging on three fronts; Hibs' home record is not so hot with all these draws, yet this is a one-off, sudden-death affair in which anything can happen. Gary Murray and Ralph Callachan are fit to play. Page 15 carries the 'Games and Goals' appearances-and-goals table for the squad — Sneddon, Rae, Turnbull, Callachan, McNamara, Murray, Thomson, Duncan, Jamieson, McArthur, Conroy, Welsh, Rice, Irvine, Brazil, Schaedler, Rough and Byrne among them. Chairman and managing director Kenny Waugh; manager Pat Stanton. Hibernian Football Club Ltd, Easter Road Park, Edinburgh EH7 5QG. Founded 1875.
