In a nutshell Pac, looking back it seems a bit surreal.

I recall a game at Livingston (when they were spending shedloads of money they didn't have) when the corrupt Willie Young sent one of ours off first half (might've been Darren Young?).

We battled gamely for a 0-0 (I'll let that sink in.........).

The sizeable support spent virtually the entire second half singing the Leon Mike song.

I remember our lot having a right laugh......and there were many games like that.

I still think Ebbe was a bit ahead of his time as a coach and I still think the biggest mistake was not getting either an experienced Scottish number two or putting a Director of Football type set up in place from the get go.

We picked up a bunch when we got rid of that .......what was his name, came from deadco.........and got Gardiner Spiers in.

That run of home wins, the "snake" celebration, those two semi final wins, especially the Hibs one with the "Ebbe dance".

But the club was a cluster fu ck then and I doubt the love child of Bill Shankly and Pep Guardiola could've brought us success.

In the right environment Ebbe could've been a proper success story, but hey ho.
