It was another spectacular goal too as John Brownlie hammered a shot high into the far corner after 77 minutes to kill off United's chances. Three minutes later Arthur Duncan took a pass from McEwan to shoot under the diving body of Hamish McAlpine. Before the end Hazel hit the post and Hamish McAlpine brilliantly saved from Cropley as Hibs put in a grandstand finish.
