    A Gentleman in sport and in not many will hold his soccer achievements, and yes I have met him and had a few blethers with him

    As well as his 22 goals in 38 games for the full Scotland side, in a career spanning just under 12 years Lawrie Reilly scored 234 goals in well over 300 games for Hibs, a quite incredible record. He remains to this day Hibs’ top goalscorer in competitive games and one can only wonder just how many he would have scored had his football career not been brought to such a sudden end because of injury

    Lawrie isn't often mentioned in discussions of the national team's greatest strikers. I don't know why....

    Because he was a centre-forward? They weren't called strikers until long after his retirement.
    I really hate being bipolar. It's awesome!!!

    I was using "striker" as a generic term.

    Yes, that was a great result for St Johnstone.

    Hibs will struggle for goals without Lee Griffiths this season. I doubt Lee will be happy playing in League One down south.

    One of tonight's results put Hibs' recent trouncing by Malmo into perspective.

    Swansea 4 Malmo 0

    Sky Sports broadcast a wonderful tribute to Lawrie just before today's match kicked off.
