Did you see his first goal against Braga? It was a great finish for anyone, never mind a RB.

….I was in the Rangers players lounge for a fairly recent Old Firm at Ibrox, Tavernier was there with his family & you could see how much he was respected by his teammates.

His performance for Hearts v Rangers in the 1996 Coca Cola Cup final is fondly remembered to this day.

But it was during this match below that McCann caught the eye of future Rangers boss, [Poor language removed] Advocaat.

I have great memories of the 1996 league cup final. The 1998 scottish cup final not so much!

That was the 9 in a row teams last hurrah. It sure was a great day for Hearts though.

You guys came back from two goals down to draw that 1996 league cup final, but then Gaza worked his magic!

Future Everton and Rangers player David Weir, was of course in that Hearts team as well.

The Scottish team you have a clear and obvious affiliation with

That would be Hibernian.

Love it!!

Just realised that the forum won’t let me give Mr Advocaat’s first name ?

You would have been 4 or 5 at the time, that is some memory you have, could you tell me where the 39 steps are?

Put 1 in instead of an I, it's the closest you will get, our use his nickname the little general.?

 

[HeartofMidlothian]

I remember Advocaat’s first game in charge.

Hearts 2 Rangers 1 at Tynecastle.

Wee Neil McCann tore the Rangers right back to shreds in the first half.

Although only one of them would go on to win the World Cup…

Love it!!

TBF you must be buzzing getting a cup SF win over the champions.

Well no league champions have been crowned yet.

Yeah, the ‘96 CCC final was a great game. I was right up the back of the top tier and can still remember the goals from that view point.

Hearts, inspired by Neil McCann came roaring back at Rangers from 2-0 down to draw level but Gazza had his famous half-time Whisky and the rest was history.

Wow, they didn't give him much time, shame he seems a decent guy but I guess things must have been bad.
They're not going to get relegated, thought they might have let him bring in a few of his own players and see how they started next season.
I appreciate they weren't doing too well on the field, any of you hibees able to throw more light on the story?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Unbelievable by hibs.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I'm annoyed at this. Hibs are giving in to the loudmouth lobby.
Maloney was coach to a successful Belgian side so you have to give him time. Maybe he is used to working with better players and Hibs can't ever hope to provide him with sufficient quality in the future.
So the merry-go-round cranks into action again.
