The 1950 Jim Forrest, Archie Kelly and Willie Watters.
Background
Hibs had been
inside left, and selected Jimmy Bradley in Ormond's normal position.[1] Bradley, who never played in a league match for Hibs,[2] froze on the big occasion.[1]
Match report
Hibs controlled most of the match, but without threatening the Motherwell goal much,[1] prompting one journalist to report that:[1]
if the Ibrox defence is the Iron Curtain then this Motherwell defence is compressed steel.
In the 74th minute,
Forrest headed in Motherwell's second goal.[1] The third goal came when Younger miskicked a clearance into the path of Watters, who lobbed the Hibs' keeper.[1] Younger had to be consoled by his opposite number after the game, while the Motherwell players celebrated their victory.[1]
