And there was plenty going on.
For Murray, this was yet another monumental moment in her magnificent career with Hibs.
The club’s record-appearance maker, who won two leagues, seven Scottish Cups and five League Cups during her illustrious 21-year playing career, added another winner’s medal as assistant to Scott in last season’s league win.
So often seen as a pair, whether as captain and head coach – as they were during Scott’s first spell when they won three domestic cups – or assistant and boss, it was “weird” for both to look across the touchline and see each other.
“We spoke just before kick-off and said how weird it was,” Murray explained after her “proud but disappointing” first game in charge.
“But it’s probably one of those ones where it comes so quick, you want that because you’d always be looking for it if it wasn’t today.”
“I’m a massive Joelle fan,” Scott added. “I think she’s got a brilliant future ahead.
“I’ve said far too many nice things about her over the years, but we’ll still be pals after these games, because I have a lot of respect for Jo, she was a brilliant introduction to the coaching staff.
“But aye, that’s the first one done, I’m delighted we’ve progressed and come through unscathed, so we’ll move on to the next one.”
