It was business as usual for Hibs at Ibrox today as Don Robertson decided that they weren’t to take anything from today’s match.

Trailing 2-0 in the 72^nd minute Ryan Porteous forced a point blank save from Allan McGregor then followed up to put the ball in the net. No goal.

In Glasgow at Ibrox, this goal is not a goal. If you can explain that to me, that would be great ??

A great free kick taken by Nisbet is denied by McGregor at the top left corner. The resulting corner sees Porteous head the ball into the net but it’s pulled back for a foul inside the box.#HibsLivepic.twitter.com/NLz5BHZVb4

Eagle-eyed Robertson spotted an earlier infringement and it was that sinking feeling for Hibs who did pull a goal back from Kevin Nisbet in the 78^th minute.

Robertson has been an official on the rise since awarding Ross County an outrageous late penalty against Celtic five years ago. There was more than a yard of fresh air between Erik Sviatchenko and Alex Schalk when the County man hit the deck with Robertson obliging with a penalty.

At Ibrox in December Willie Collum missed two Hibs penalty appeals which fell into the ‘they’d have been given at the other end’ category. In January Kevin Clancy’s tangle of legs from Alfredo Morelos went unpunished, the Colombian scored the only goal of the game in the second half with even Steven Gerrard too embarrassed to appeal the retrospective red card.

Lanarkshire whistler Bobby Madden will be on duty at next week’s Ibrox cup tie.

Porteous goal chalked off for what exactly?

Any idea why Porteous’ goal was disallowed apart from the opposition?

Seven Hibernian Academy graduates have taken a small but significant step in their fledgling careers after agreeing their first professional contracts.

Connor Young, Jack Brydon, Jacob Blaney, Josh O’Connor, Murray Aiken, Murray Johnson and Robbie Hamilton have all been rewarded for their progress at the Hibernian Training Centre.

They’ll be given every chance to follow in the footsteps of Ryan Porteous.

Connor Young

Striker Connor joined our Academy setup at the age of 14 and has been in full-time since he turned 16 in August, after leaving Leith Academy.

A clinical finisher on either foot, Connor’s currently benefiting from a loan spell with Civil Service Strollers and our education partnership with Edinburgh Napier University.

Jack Brydon

Seventeen-year-old Jack – a strong centre-back who is comfortable on the ball – has been at Hibs since he was 10.

He caught the eye in a two-week Under-18 training camp in Portugal prior to lockdown and is also enjoying a loan with Civil Service Strollers. In November he was named in the Lowland League Team of the Month.

Jack attended Firhill High School in Edinburgh and apparently fancies himself as a bit of a striker, having consistently impressed in shooting drills.

Jacob Blaney

Coatbridge native Jacob attended the Scottish FA’s Performance School at Braidhurst High in Motherwell.

Equally adept in the centre of defence or the heart of midfield, Jacob turned 16 in September and has represented his country in that age group.

Jacob, who has been with Hibernian since the age of 10, has been playing Under-18 football with The Hibees since he was 14.

Josh O’Connor

Sixteen-year-old striker Josh O’Connor doesn’t have to look far for inspiration as the son of former Hibs hero Garry.

Direct, quick and with an eye for goal, Josh has been on the books since he was 10 and is another who has featured for the Under-18s since he was 14.

The former North Berwick High School pupil is currently sidelined with a knee injury but is making great progress and should be back in action soon.

Josh is also continuing his education as part of our tie-up with Edinburgh Napier University.

Murray Aiken

Thornton Hibs Twitter

A 16-year-old central midfielder from Peebles, Murray has also shown his versatility by impressing at right-back and centre-back on occasion.

Comfortable on the ball, the Peebles High School student is also blessed with excellent endurance levels and an ability to support the strikers with well-timed runs.

Murray has also been with Hibernian since the age of 10.

Murray Johnson

Sixteen-year-old goalkeeper Murray has been training with the first-team squad since July.

The former Boroughmuir High School student’s progress was reflected in a Scotland Under-17 call-up earlier this year, alongside Jacob.

Murray is another involved in our partnership with Edinburgh Napier University, which lets him continue his education alongside his full-time football commitments.

Like former Hibs and Scotland goalkeeper Andy Goram, Murray is also said to be an accomplished cricketer.

Hbs Twitter

Robbie Hamilton

Another who has enjoyed exposure to first-team training, 16-year-old left-sided central midfielder Robbie is the son of former professional footballer Jim.

Comfortable in possession, an eye for goal has also seen him deployed up front.

Robbie reads the game at a level beyond his tender years and is a calm character who has taken everything in his stride so far.
