May 21, 2016. Safe to say, it's a date no fan of Hibernian FC will ever forget – with Alan Stubbs’ team lifting the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902.
The scenes when club captain David Gray scored in stoppage time goal to give Hibs a 3-2 win over Rangers were absolutely chaotic – and the celebrations went on for days.
Hibs fans are hoping they don’t have to wait quite so long to see their team emulate the class of 2016 history-makers – and here we take a nostalgic look back at both the final itself and victory parade in Edinburgh the following day.
