In the 1978–79 season Hibernian FC managed a fifth place finish in the league, with notable wins of 3–0 and 4–0 against Motherwell tempered by a 6–1 loss to Partick Thistle late in the season. In the UEFA cup they reached the second round, being beaten 2–1 on aggregate by RC Stasbourg. In the Scottish cup they made the final, but ultimately after two goalless draws, they lost out to Rangers 3–2 after extra time in a hotly-contested second replay.
