Hibernian FC 'The Hibee', Season 1985/86, Vol 2 No 22: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 22 February 1986 matchday programme — Premier League; John Blackley, Gordon Chisholm, Skol Cup final flashback

Official Hibernian FC matchday programme for the Scottish Premier League: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 22 February 1986, at Easter Road Park, Edinburgh. Cover price 50p, a Match Magazine. Season's sponsors Insave Associates Ltd; match sponsor Edinburgh Business Machines; Fine Fare League masthead. The cover is a flashback to the Skol Cup final clash between Hibs and Aberdeen, with Gordon Chisholm causing a worrying moment for the Dons' defence. 'Blackley's Back-Chat' from manager John Blackley: if there is one thing to take out of the previous week's cup-tie, it is that Hibs showed character to keep plugging away until the very last minute — it is difficult to come back from a penalty miss when things aren't going your way, as heads can go down, but they kept playing away until they got the break right at the death. Basic things didn't go right against Ayr and the passing and control were not up to the standards they had come to expect in recent months; they dug in at the crucial stage and it was a tough tie to get through. It was important they did, as they now have a tie against Celtic and a chance to take their interest in the Scottish Cup a stage further. That said, the league is the number one priority and they are looking to get something from today's match against the league champions. Aberdeen have always played well against Hibs. Four extremely difficult matches are coming up — Aberdeen, Dundee United, Rangers and then Celtic — and it is crucial to stay as free from injuries and suspensions as possible. Chairman Kenny Waugh; manager John Blackley; assistant manager Tommy Craig. Hibernian Football Club Ltd, Easter Road Park, Edinburgh EH7 5QG. Founded 1875.
